hey guys

i got an r33 gtst manual with the usual bolt ons

healthy stock rb25det,

3.5 inch turbo back stainless

front mount cooler and water spray

12 psi

4.363 diff gears

i've got a budget of around 1600, looking for a replacement turbo

one option that ive considered is a hypergear high flow

do highflowed stock turbo's make a big difference over the standard t3?

much gain?

normally the rb25 turbo's are limited by the ceramic compressor wheel, so you can;t boost it over 12-14 safely

if i got a high flow, due to it having a steel wheel would i be able to wind it higher than the standard t3?

supporting mods?

i think the efficiency of the turbo peaks out at 18-20 psi

$1600 could get you a remapped ecu, a high flow fuel pump, high flowed injectors and a Z32 afm.

Hypergear do T3 highflows for $800

high flowed turbo will be good for around 260kw atw's

and yes you can run more pressure than the standard spec turbo

I had a high flow on an RB25/30 and it maxed out on 17psi.

Pushed out 284 rwkw ,974 Nm of torque and full boost at 2800 rpm.

Brutal instant power, nasty wheel spin in 1st and 2nd.

Don't know who flowed it though as I bought the car with it already on. Got 60,000 km's out of it.

Before I did my engine rebuild my RB25 was stock , all but FMIC, Haltech ECU , 500 hp fuel pump and the high flow.

It had 247 fwkw or 190rwkw.

Gotrice is bang on with what's needed though my injectors were stock, but my fuel pressure was high (70 psi ) flat out.

For R33 Turbos I actual recommend use our TR43G2 or TR43i for just $200 extra. your stock R33 worth about $300 once its sold. So you only end up paying about $150 more on a custom dump pipe.

even with a high flowed stock turbo a tune would be necessary?

shouldn't the afm compensate for this? it wouldn't be a huge jump up from the stock turbo

i wouldn't mind going to another turbo

just that the convenience of having everything bolt back up no fabrication needed is there if i get it high flowed

Pretty sure the car would run on a highflowed turbo but it wouldn't be running very happily. You would need at least a piggy back unit like a Safc to try alter the fuel map to correct for the extra airflow. Even just a highflow is going to be freaking out a stock ECU quite a bit.

when my car was untuned with basic mods like fmic full exhaust etc... i had mine running 12pounds.. with a hypergear highflow... it was running madd!

Now my car tuned with injectors and z32 and pfc... im doing about 240kws..

hmm.. sorry to hijack but has anyone looked into the kkr480? its roughly the same price as a high flow and is a straight swap....

I Had one while back. Definitely not a straight swap mate. Water fittings are different, Dump pipe needs to be custom made, intake pipe is different, I had a boost spike issue after installation. It must be externally gated. Performance wise its not bad.

While I have had no personal experience with KKR turbo's, I would advise against them. If your chasing mild gains a High flow would suit you fine. If you are the sort of person who 6 months down to track is going to want more, then invest your money in some decent supporting mods, then just wait till you have the money and chuck a proper turbo on there. Going cheap now might cost you more in the future if you decide you want more power down the track.

Can run stock ecu on hiflowed turbo's.. however dont be compelled to wind up the wick.. as your compressor would be at least 10mm bigger then the stocker.. which would flow craploads more air.

I myself run a bush bearing hiflow with an rx7 core/exhaust setup and only run 5-6psi. Laggy, but way more hit then my stocker @ 9psi.

Hey there, Yeh you can run your highflow turbo with your stock ecu but beware.... once your boost goes past 12psi..... you will hit R&R and therefore you will require your spark plugs to be gapped at 0.8mm and will start miss firing past 3-4rpm.... it will miss..

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
