Hey all

Im running a neo motor in my r32 and was making 280rwhp with a standard tubro! untill it leaned out, cooked a piston and snapped the turbo shaft. Currently rebuilding the motor and need to sort out my fuel issues then a turbo. With my current set up the standard turbo had good low down response and torque, not much lag and would cook third under boost. The suspension and driveline is sorted and I mainly use it for fun on the track, time trials and drifting.

Not chasing any more power just want to know what would be the best turbo for that same sorta low down response and torque, so basically similar to the neo turbo but a bit better:)

Not neccesarily more responsive. There MAY be 100rpm in it but the disco makes up for it with a better comp cover and then it also has the advantage of being able to turn up the wick when this guy decides he wants a bit more hp.

And yes, no matter what he says now, he will want more later.

300hp is a rediculous power figure. You can easily do it on the standard turbo if you get it tuned properly

Oh now come come... i draw the line @ a legit 300RWHP out of a factory turbo.

300hp, yes, but 300RWHP is the aim.

Given the amount of threads where the OP doesn't even know what they want, i like a thread like this :cool:

It's ok to want 300rwhp, just depends what it's going to be doing IMO

For example, skidpan days it would be good fun, or really tight hillruns (the type where you question having a 1500kg skyline in the first place) it would also be good at.

Can't see it being fun anywhere else though! But of course it's all personal taste.

I definatly agree, get something with headroom for later, the power bug bites all.

Just high flow your stock Neo turbo with a 2871 52T profile CHRA. Will get you full boost by 3200RPM, and max out at about 250rwkws. Plus every thing bolton no modifications required.

I know that if you use the GT2871R 48T cartridge to hi flow an R33's RB25 turbo you can keep the std compressor housing because when machined out for the larger compressor wheel you have just enough wall thickness left to mount the std inlet duct . With the 52T one I don't know . Didn't Lithium do this Hi Flow mod before the GT30 turbo went in ?

HKS rates their 2530 and 2535 at 320 and 340 PS , I reckon you could look at a 2871R 48T as a 2535 with a more modern compressor wheel .

You'd think 300 to 340 Hp out of a Neo spec RB25 would be smooth torquey and reliable , and not bank breaking .

Lag ? Whats lag ?

A .

At that power you have reached the limit of the afm, injectors, fuel pump and ecu, for a reliable 300+ you need to start upgrading a lot of other things besides the turbo.

Cheers for the guys that are helping me out. hp doesn't always mean faster!! its how its set up and how you drive it, the japs did there thing on this car in japan and its a awesome car to drive.

At 260hp this car cooks 4th gear drifting with brand new 235' s on the rear, got tenth fastest lap time out of 70 cars with second hand street tyres on and was doing the same lap times as the evo's and gtrs. i've dragged plenty of ppl that say they have done all this shit to there car and dyno at 420hp and so on and i still just pull away from them, which just cuts them because they talk their cars up so much and spent so much money chasing hp!!!

As for my set up it has blue injectors which i think the purpleish ones are standard so if anyone knows what the blue ones are let me know? a gtr fuel tank, z32 afm, bigger coils, gtr cams, oil cooler, 2 way diff, orc clutch, all suspension is adjustable camber and so on, a shitty old apexi which i need to change to prevent my motor from leaning out again and service the injectors if they are not standard. any reccomendations on ecu? im thinkin the nis tune cause im running out of money

300hp lol

I dont get it, what is so funny about wanting 300hp? If you are driving your car hard, then 300hp most likely means less oil temp, less water temp, less strain on the engine internals. It also means less stress on clutch, diff, gearobx and driveshafts. It means less fuel used at the track, less torched tyres...

If you are into sliding nad fun then a solid 300hp out of a rwd car is plenty of fun, you cam do it easily with worst case cheap used GTR injectors and fuel rail etc etc.

It makes no sense to go and ake 450hp and forever be chasing cooling issues at the track etc etc

300rwhp is lots of power, its probably as much/more then a 996 GT3. Which at 1400kgs odd is not a slow car

i've dragged plenty of ppl that say they have done all this shit to there car and dyno at 420hp and so on and i still just pull away from them, which just cuts them because they talk their cars up so much and spent so much money chasing hp!!!

So your stock turbo 200rwkw car beats and pulls away from 300rwkw cars in a drag race?

Maybe I took the OP's comments a little differently, but I'd think he's generally looking at the "drag" between turns, not a 1/4 mile? Don't under-rate how fast and easily a 300rwhp Skyline can cover ground...

Agreed 100%. Sounds like he is out there and doing it. Incidentally how do you find your 32 deals with heat loadings?

That spec high flow was mine Adrian. 300rwhp @ 12psi. Max boost by 2700rpm. Easy, reliable power and because it made power early it was very easy to drive fast point to point. Not really a drag strip weapon, but in terms of getting power down early out of turns it could get the jump on 260-300rwkW cars and generally punch above its weight.

I've not seen anyone else run with that turbo spec, but it certainly worked. Not sure, but I don't think it would do much more than 300rwhp, cranking more boost should yield bigger mid range stick though. I often wondered if an OP6 housing would have allowed it to make torque as the rpm went over 6000, but not have a major impact on torque between 2000-3000rpm.

Just high flow your stock Neo turbo with a 2871 52T profile CHRA. Will get you full boost by 3200RPM, and max out at about 250rwkws. Plus every thing bolton no modifications required.

Given that this is a proven unit, I'd go this way. Really very similar to the unit I had built, with the advantage of some extra flow capacity if desired. Back it in this should produce the 300hp @ 12psi as mine did, but with the ability to make another 40hp with a few more pounds. Possibly some differences in boost response right down low in the rpm, but I'd be certain Stao could supply the 48T cartridge if it was an issue.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
