why would u bother slapping such a small turbo on a 25/30 build.

at least go gt30. ~300kw and full boost by 3000 which is amazing response.

Haha he actually means a 2530 turbocharger, not 3 litre with 25 head lol.

I wouldnt pissfart around with a 2860 with adaptors then maybe different lines (im not sure about the lines) Im pretty sure the dump pattern is different too. The adaptors are around $200 anyway, and would look shit. Theres 1100 already, plus custom dump, blah blah....

GO highflow. Looks stock, fits stock, least stuffing around, will make the power your are chasing. Theyre around $1300-1400 mark?

Thanks for all the opinions!

I have been doing some homework since starting this thread and i now see how dumb it is to stuff around with T2 turbo etc etc etc.

i have since purchased a VG30DET single turbo (4V54) with the OP6 turbine housing which i intend to get highflowed to 450hp through Hypergear with the ATR28G3 CHRA as its the most bang for buck optiong i've come accross.

if you only want 220-230rwkw... i had a hypergear, that's been changed for another hypergear. G2 profile, 71 compressor wheel. It's was a special one-off that Stao made, it was mid 220'srwkw (with some other car issues) with stock turbo response. I reckon those specs in an OP6 rear will be exactly what you're after.

I've just switched to a G3, 76 compressor wheel with the OP6 rear housing, and i'm not expecting stock response at all, but hoping for 260'ish.

The first hypergear i had sounds like what you're after, but i think the G3/76 might be a bit big for what you want.

Yea i understand what your saying but i want the headroom for future mods such as injectors, AFM, ECU etc.

how you planning on tuning it at the moment?

i see where you're coming from, but i don't see the need to go so big when you only want 200-230rwkw. Why not get that figure in the most responsive way?

The coolest and quickest street car i have even been in was an R33 with Greddy inlet, baby 256 cams and a HKS 2530. The thing made boost and took off anywhere when you simply looked at the accelerator pedal. It was mighty torquey and punchy. It ran 18psi and made 230rwkws, though it drop back to 15psi up high in the rev range. There is no way i would say the turbo is too small. It hammered along very nicely

haha yea i forgot that i said i was only chasing that power figure.

But now i plan to have it tuned with the factory turbo after i get my new interdooler and boost controller which are on their way. From what i've seen i should make 180ish rwkw on a sensible tune.

Then I'm gonna save the cash to do the highflow, ECU, AFM, injectors, splitfire coilpacks all in one hit and aim for 240-250 rwkw

What exactly do you mean by baby cams? do you know what they were exactly?

Pretty much exactly how i want my street R33 to be like instant, torquey response

what are you getting tuned if you are running a factory ecu?

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
