Hey guys,

I need your help once again. Blew my turbo. Drove it hard on 13psi and blew it. Im pretty sure its the turbo as the boost doesnt spool up+noise.

I need to fix the car asap so i need quick help, don't have time for much research that's the reason for starting a new thread, sorry.

What im after:

-turbo that's an upgrade, better than my stockie but doesn't need to be 1000hp either, something medium power.

Can also someone suggest me where i should look for a turbo/what shops/wreckers are good to call and check out?

Also, good workshop for the fitting of a new turbo, suggestions please

Im basically wanting to make about 240RWKW.

-so please if you have a suggestion, ill be keeping a close eye on this thread and all help is appreciated.

So i need:

Turbo recommendation:

What shop wreckers to check out:

Workshop to fit:

Thanks heaps, ADIS.

Read that firstly, will save you a lot of money, secondly look in the for sale section for a hi flow, they are a direct replacement and will get you around 250rwkw with good response.

Thank you for your reply. Hi flow is good option, but ill give other turbos a bit of a thought and ill make my decision in next couple of days.

I think the guys are RE customs have a nice Apexi turbo for sale for around $1000 which will make the power you're after. Call Mick or Ray on 9548 3414

Thank you-will give them a call first thing Monday.

Fellas, please don't be shy with your suggestions, what ever you think i should try let me know please as i need to make a decision very soon. Pm me or write here or sms/call 0421 864 698. Adis

Im 50/50 on maybe getting a bigger sucker or just going the easy option and hi flow it. In saying that, im not sure if i should buy one or hi flow mine, and what shops to call.

Thanks.

roughly what size? comparable to a GT30? or smaller?

I suggest you get a bigger turbo not a high-flow Turbo.

Yes, I have a high-flow and I'm making 235 kw and it's really responsive - but you will find soon you want more power, e.g. 300+ and you will have to get another turbo soon. You sound a bit power-hungry, so I suggest you go the bigger turbo now...the GT30 is a good size in my opinion.

Bro you are probably right, i will get power hungry but you gotta draw a line somewhere. For bigger turbo ill need to spend extra 1k. plus labor for fitting turbo, plus full ecu,plus tune, plus injectors, plus all other shit, to be honest i cant afford so i have to be happy with 230 kw or so. But you are right, ill get used to it and ill want more...but i better not. f*k its like a drug lol

Kevin, how bout i buy your hi flow and you get ur self a gt30 :down: deal? haha

the stock afm is able to max much lower than 230rwkw

ive seen max and i have 190rwkw

you can still tune with it maxing, and its important to note when it maxes

maxing at 6500rpm means nothing, maxing at 3000rpm to redline

just means it runs like a map sensor and its annoying to tune

still workable, just have to juggle load points

its typically accepted that you replace it past 200rwkw

to ensure you use as many load points as possible, which makes for a better tune

bahhh 190kw? cmon man, are you kidding? firstly let's exclude afms that have been found in the local river, and we'll also exclude spaz engines/ecu's that r&r at 10psi (other issues at play here)

then we can assume, under normal circumstances, 230kw wouldnt be a stretch.

And then we exclude "happy" dyno's and we are back to 200-210

lol well that was a nice round trip :)

but i'm sticking to my 230, happy dynos or not.

edit:

anyway, lets tell the guy what he wanted to know. which turbo.

hks2535 or gt-rs. buy a used one, if on a budget. either of these is my pick over the highflow.

LOL, well i did get 223rwkw with the standard ecu, i then put in the pfc and had it tuned and got 210, i know the 220 was a happy dyno and the 210 was on a dyna pack which are known to be a little conservative.

ahhh so a little conservative, and a little bit happy, evens out at 220 in your case. we're getting closer lol

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
