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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
