Hi guys,

Finally got some decent pics of my bros turbo of his 1995 series 2 r33 gts25t...

If you know what type of turbo this is please let me kow and how much boost can i run?

also just wondering why the exhaust side looks rusty colour ?

is that maby because of af mixture ?

just some info on it, the turbo spools up at about 4000 and full boost at about 4,500 , 5000 rpm

cheers.

It looks like the standard turbo to me, with plastic compressor wheel and ceramic turbine wheel. Not sure what that orange stuff is, I've heard of some people getting orange plugs from some 98RON fuel and too-cold plugs, maybe it's related. They all get brown-rusty on the outside, but that's the first one I've seen that was orange on the inside.

I dont think the compressor wheel looks std, but the turbine and housing all look pretty std.

I havent seen all that many Nisan turbos off the engine so cant be sure if the compressor isnt factory, just those that i have seen look different.

As for the colour on the exh. housing, i suspect thats from running some sort of jungle juice, be it from additives like Octane booster or toluene or from Shell 100 racing fuel etc. I hear if its white then its from the A/F leaning out, so its not that.

ok,

also on the back it says T459 ? if thats related to anything... and the number 1 so i was thinking its stage 1 upgrade?

And i'v ran 15 psi before no worries,

but it doesn seem like standard turbo because after it hits full boost it keeps pulling all the way to redline and doesnt slak off..

is it bad for the turbo and car to run octane booster? cause i have before....

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
