hi newbie here

just wanna ask when does the turbo open/on/operate on a R33 S2 stock.. tnx

Turbo opens/on/operates all the time, when you see boost all depends on the Amount of Throttle and the amount of Load on the motor (In gear, not free revving) this will change though and you can add the size of your fuels system, intake, turbo, exhaust blah blah..

tnx sir.. its a very helpful info.. tnx

turbo will boost from 2000-2500 rpm - hopefully hit full boost around 4000rpm - 4500rpm up to 6500rpm (roughly)

(assuming stock ecu / stock turbo etc etc)

so before 2k rpm the turbo is doing nothing? is that right? also if the car got an intercooler it sure got a turbo right?

please bear with me.. totally newbie! tnx

apologies to the OP (dont mean to hyjack the thread but i feel compelled to answer his question as we were all newbs at one stage)

before 2000rpm the turbo is still running although its not making positive boost pressure.

in regards to intercoolers - generally yes - although u do find some people (i have no idea why) putting intercoolers onto non turbo / non supercharged cars.

if you have any other questions, just PM me - saves cluttering this thread up as its a bit off topic.

Turbo lag means the period before turbo hit its set boost. So if you have a really big turbo you would experience lag before 5500RPMs. Can you detail this lag that you are experiencing?

wrong. boost threshold is the minimum rpm required to reach target boost. lag is the amount of time it takes to reach full boost after planting the throttle above the boost threshold. getting technical but you should know this :laugh:

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
