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..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
