Hi

Need to size a turbo and injectors for my RB25 R33

i want to use it for drifting so it should be responsive

car already has :

- Hybrid FMI

- Full 3" zorst

- splitfire coils

- pod and CAI

- tomei fuel pump

- nismo FPR

- HKS EVC5 boost controller

have just brought a Power FC and am going to get this fitted along with Z32, new turbo and injectors.

would like to keep standard turbo manifold and use the 3" dump pipe already fitted

would like about 350hp @ wheels or more

have budgeted about $1000 for injectors and $1000 secondhand to $2000 new for the turbo

so my questions are:

- What turbo

- what injectors

- also can i keep the cold start function with a Power FC

if you want to keep the dump you have with the standard turbo then your best bet is a highflow, which should also be sufficient for your 350hp goal.

injectors, different people have different opinions but i'm using nismo 555s and they're great

and yes power fc's have cold start functions

i thought alot of aftermarket turbo fit in place of the standard one without changing anything

for $1800 we can make you a Garrett GT3071R BB CHRA in a .63 Bolton housing in .60 A/R Comp with 14psi internal gated actuator. that would be pretty responsive for your power goal with good torque.

GCG highflow, Nismo 740cc injectors to give you breathing room for future upgrades(same price as the 555cc), 480cc SR20 injectors are the budget option.

a GT3071 or 76 kit is ~3k

Sounds like a good option, but have heard many times of the potential boost control issues with these combos, do your setups have this issue?

some of the hks ones do but they cost a small fortune

all the others i can think of are a highflow of some sort

if you want 350hp u may run into boost control issues as said above, when running the stock manifold, your going to have decide as to how serious you want to be about your up grade, do you either get the bolt on and run into a wall when ur after more, or spend the extra couple of grand and go external gate, 6boost manifold, and a decent garret turbo. why not get some cams and timing gears as well.....etc

its a pretty hard choice and decent investment what ever you decide on think about what your going to do with the car spend the extra now and save the head ache latter

Nope. Depends on how your engineer the internal wastegate port and size of the wastegating flap. We've done quite a few. No problem with boost creeping at all.

am not gonna have the extra money external gate and cams

I see heaps of people with 350rwhp using the standard manifold and think i should be able to do it

hks2835...shits on standard boost response...no response...full boost and 250rkw at 19psi at 3200rpm...drift that bitch!

how does this turbo compare to the Garrett GT3071R BB mentioned by hypergear

i also believe a gt30 is the way to go.

even better if you spend an extra 1k for a rb30....youll make the turbo kick in earlier, with less boost and more power.

hopefully your not running a rb20....

engine is an RB25 and don't think ill be putting in an RB30

just looking for a new turbo

Any 450hp core (or close enough will do what you want, each with its pro's and con's.

So GT3071, HKS GT-RS, HKS 2835ProS, GCG hiflow or Hypergear's recommendation.

You seem to want a low cost direct bolt on option so something from Hypergear or GCG will meet the target and for the lowest cost.

550cc injectors will do the job.

i'd go a second hand HKS GTRS if i were looking for something that bolts up....

slightly more responsive than a highflow and very bolt on..... 2835 is a better turbo for a 25 but more $$$ and needs a custom dump.

hks2835...shits on standard boost response...no response...full boost and 250rkw at 19psi at 3200rpm...drift that bitch!

is that all you ended up with? i thought you sorted all that out

mine makes 285 @ 19 psi

thanks for everyones answers

think im gonna go the Garrett GT3071R BB recommended by hypergear along with sard injectors

can i keep the cold start function ?

You'll need additional collars for the sard injectors whereas Nismo don't for similar price new.

    • 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
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
