Ah yeah didnt think about that. Once you have a 4" intake, the 3" afm will become a restriction and also annoying changing diameters if you did leave it there.

What options are there to remain with a 3" intake. I know simon you will recommend the 4" intake but think about it from a stealth on the street point of view. Is it possible to get an anti surge housing with a 3" intake on a GT30?

on another set up we did on a mates street car same turbo as mine mounted on stock manifold. used a 4-3inch black silicon reducer and painted black hard pipe to the AFM. cant really tell that its a 4 inch intake on turbo unless you look right at it.

Thats a great idea, do you think it reduced power?

This seems to be a restriction for people trying to use reponsive turbos but still make ~275rwkw.

I dont understand, how is that related to "R33 Gts-t Turbo Recommendation, most responsive for 275rwkw"

Because on the street it will be just as fast as 275kw with his laggier turbo for example, I think you could get 260kw out of it if you used E85 quite easily.

theres no way its a restriction.. you can flow 300 rwkw or even 350 rwkw of air thro 3 inch pipe no worries.. think about intercooler pipes and how they flow large amounts of air under pressure and yet are around the 2.5 inch mark

i have a apexi ax53B70, had it tuned the other day and made 240kw on 18psi with 555cc injectors, pfc, z32, 3" exhaust, fmic. but was told i wont get any more out of it. pretty annoyed as i spent just under 2k on it and was told i would see 250 with ease. although i am very happy with the response :(

how much does a 3071 go for?

do you know which version of the ax53B70 you have? there are two different versions the 320ps one and the 380ps one. You may have the 320ps one which would explain the power?

Ok so after going through this thread it seems the garrett 3071 turbo is the best choice since it can achieve around the 280rwkw mark with the least lag???

Im from perth, would anyone know a rough price for one of these? also does it bolt onto my intake and dump pipe?

I just dont wanna get my stock r33 turbo highflowed only to get bored of it down the track and wished i had'nt skimped out, and bought something a bit more expensive.

No chance in a straight line. Maybe on a really tight track.

The HKS 2835 Pro S is pretty damn responsive.

I think the HKS 2835 Pro S turbo wins the prize of most responsive turbo to make 275rwkw on 98 fuel.

+1

very happy that I went that way

much love for the anti surge housing... i have 4 inch hardpipe straight to Air filter (afm is on other side of pipework) and the spooling sound is insane! greatest sound on earth hahaha

i'm running a 4-3" custom metal pipe off mine and yeh... sounds awesome

use metal, paint black

Yeah Thats what i bought...will hopefully post some results soon...

you will need to modify your intake pipe..as its 3 inch...

for the kit..3k...new

if your lucky you'll get a s/h one for half that ..If your game enough to go s/h turbo route you'll get a good BB jobbie and there is plenty that will make that power...but buyer beware...

EDIT>>Actually just looking may as well get this for the same price...More power just as responsive..

Yeah in a drag race the outright power would definitely win but around the street and tight hills it would be very close.

Seeking an opinion on this one. Like the price! Going for street use and response over max power.

Is that for an RB25? That wont make anywhere near 275rwkw on an RB25.

I think it will be too restrictive and lack any sort of top end. Just use a 0.63 housing on a GT30 turbo and it will be super responsive and wont restrict the top end as much.

do you know which version of the ax53B70 you have? there are two different versions the 320ps one and the 380ps one. You may have the 320ps one which would explain the power?

yeh i found out after getting it tuned i have the one with the smaller exhuast housing

use metal, paint black

When doing this do you still have the AFM mounted on the intake side? Or in the cooler piping?

If on the intake do you get any problems with reversion?

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
