300rkw? yeah that turbo will get you 300, i'm not an expert on VQs, but i hear good things about them, have you consider a twin turbo setup?

nah, 300rwhp, to begin with, but after upgrades hoping for around 500ish rwhp,

does it matter that the turbo is suited for a diesel???

i have thought about twins but im trying to keep the build cost at a minimum, twins would be good coz of the v configuration, tho im happy with a big single :ermm:

thats exaclty why im asking mate, i have been searching but getting mixed results with the gt4088r, my first response was it would be wayy to big...

and my next one was the precision pt67 as it is smaller, comparible to the 35r, but didnt know if it would run out of puff etc???

also should add i have been in a vl which had a gt4088r but slightly larger rear and it seemed pretty damn good, not the most responsive turbo tho not the most laggy either...

what would be perfect would be spool/boost characteristics for each, as when they would start and reach full etc

You been on one with a GT35?

I'll assume the answer is a no.

Select the turbo that fits your power goal, it's as simple as that. There is SOOOO much information in the pages of this forum about GT30/GT35/GT40 series turbos that you couldn't possibly be in the dark

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
