hey

not really looking at big power

aiming for 200rwkw

on a r33 rb25det

atm got a fmic

full 3 inch exhaust (no high flow cat due to previous epa)

everything else is standard

was planning on boosting the as it is to around 12 psi and though id come pretty close to acheiving what i wanted

though have been warned by a few people not to on a standard r33 turbo

due to the ceramic wheel

and have been told if wanting a cheap upgrade

to get a r34 turbo or a vg30 turbo

is this right?

and if so what is a vg30 turbo?

im guessing these are standard turbos used on vg30det hence z31 300zx (all i know that is single turbo), would this be an upgrade as it is, and would this straight bolt on a rb25det?

same with the r34 turbo

thanks

Only reason to go the r34 turbo is if your highflowing realistically otherwise it's too much cost for too little gain. Even for highflowing i would just do it to the turbo you have.

But as Nismoid said you will get 200rwkw out of the turbo safely

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
