lookin to upgrade the turbo on my r33 it has a 3inch exhaust with a high flow cat, ems stinger ecu, bov, pod filter, 555cc injectors, spitfire coilpacks, fmic but a standard turbo.. can anyone help me with what size turbo what kind and maybe how much it might cost me to upgrade only looking for a moderate upgrade not a massive one cheers guys

first things first read the rb25 dyno sheets thread

second thing what power figures are you lookin for

thirdly are you on a budget if so what budget

but it mainly comes down to what power your after like i said read the rb25 dyno sheets thread alot of pages i know but worth reading through it

what do you use the car for?

how much can you afford?

what are your power goals?

what are your response goals?

rb25 turbo upgrade thread... have you read it? :)

LOL

This would be THE most asked question on this forum.

Even on the same page as this thread is:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/348743-3076r-for-270rwkw/page__st__20

Otherwise please do a search, people on this forum and very helpful but you need to do some of the work yourself.

Also, look through the RB25 dyno results thread.

I'm feeling nice today. Instead of telling you that you are a dickhead for asking the most asked question on this forum, and the particular forum having 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 post and threads about turbo choices, I'll link you to a post that I have made recently to help someone.

THis should give you enough information.

If you don't like the size of the turbo, check the thread at the top of the forced induction forum with all kinds of turbos and results.

Wouldn't de-turboing a GTST for P-Plates be the most asked?

i had a hks gt2535 on my last one, the previous owner tried multiple turbos on it he tried the 2530 and the 2540 but ended up sticking with the 2535.

i had power fc, hks front mount, full racepace exhaust from turbo back, big pump, fpr and it mate around 258 - 262rwkw on 14psi.

shed blew a few flames out the back aswell hehe. for the street i thought it was perfect as i even passed an epa with the turbo on it, just had to rub out the hks on the actuator and change the exhaust, that was running a standard air filter with an aftermarket panel filter.

as they said, depends what your after and what state your in.

High flow your stock turbo for about a thousand bucks, then get it retuned. 250rwkw from your current 190ish.

You will have it all done for about $2000. Anything else will cost you twice as much at a minimum.

Spending say $4000 will net you 270-330rwkw, any more will require more money (your injectors are maxed at this point). This would be with a 3071/3076/3582 garrett.

hey guys thanks heaps for the advice.. on a budget of about $2500 and as for power goals i want to reach atleast 270 rwkw... has anyone checked out the site www.turbokits.com ?? they seem to have decent turbos on there for around the $1200 mark why not just buy one from them????

They dont have any bolt on turbo kits for the RB25. There are plenty of turbos you can buy for $1200 in Australia that will bolt on. Talk to hypergear, they will get you 270rwkw from a hiflow turbo. I have a hiflow turbo with a larger rear housing and make 279rwkw with exhaust, injectors and Z32 afm.

Hypergear highflow.

Send him your turbo and tell him you want atleast 270rwkw.

Take your car to a tuner and get it retuned.

This is almost your only option.

+ injectors, exhaust, Z32 afm and a 3" metal intake :)

yeah thats seams pretty good any idea on how much it might cost? would it be better to get a new turbo hi flowed off them?

What do you mean by new turbo? They wont have stock of standard turbos so you will need to find one and send it to them if you dont want to have your car off the road while they hiflow your turbo.

highflow + injectors + fuel pump + fmic + nistune is the cheapest bang for buck in my opinion.

probably look about $1000-2000 for the turbo depending on who does the highflow and whether it is ball bearing or not, and all the rest would be a few k all up once tuned. Don't forget a clutch when you fry yours and new tyres and susp to put it to the ground, all adds up pretty quickly.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
