Okay so I just went and picked up my new 34gt-t the other day, absolutely love the car I must say but I took my friends 33 for a drive which is running around 290bhp opposed to my 340bhp and noticed his turbo comes on boost a lot harder than mine which is very gradual..I brought the car as is with the aftermarket parts and pro tunes it also came with the apexi avcr/power fc and I was wondering could I achieve a more punchy boost with adjusting any settings on the boost control or would the car have to be tuned again manually..any answers would be much appreciated and sorry for the noob question I'm only fresh in the import scene

Were both running the standard t3 turbo, at the moment I've got all the Alexi plug and play, apexi pod filter, big trust front mount, sard fuel pump, 3 1/2 inch jasma exhaust with high flow cat, running 0.9 bar roughly 13-14psi, makes around 330bhp, I'm not sure what he's running other than his turbo though..any thoughts on why his comes on so much harder?

you most likely aren't running the stock turbo if you are making that sort of power, even at 13 or 14psi, or your car isn't making that sort of power the dyno sheet is either from the car having more mods or it has been tweaked a bit by using different settings for the run, or is simply a high reading dyno. the turbo could possibly be a highflow unit, which would explain why his has more punch down low. also comes down to the state of the tune on your car, the compression of the engine and many other variables.

that said, the stock 33 turbo has a smaller exhaust housing than the neo turbo, so it should spool a little bit quicker.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
