Hey guys only recently blew the standard turbo on my 34 gtt, i was going to just keep it off the road until its sent away for the build but i want to get it back on as i dont want all my rego going to waste plus its extremely sad seeing it sit there and not move...but anyway

Ive had no experience with upgrading into a smaller turbo class with the rb25s/neos etc...so was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to what would be a good choice as a straight bolt on to the original manifold/dump etc i want something with a little more punch than the standard turbo as i want to run a bit more boost for the time being so any help as to what would be ideal to throw on and make a little more power and not have to go through a drastic tune or at least be relatively driveable once i bolt it on.

Thanks. B

Drop your blown into a turbo place like Hypergear and get them to highflow it. That will get you 240-250rwkw with supporting mods and will bolt straight up to everything and appear standard for the cops.

+1.

Either shoot Stao (Hypergear) a PM or give him a call and he can help you. Very helpful and the turbos are excellent from my experience :thumbsup:

Ill have to get on to them and perhaps post it or something cause im in the middle of rural NSW with no performance shops anywhere in sight so we all have to do everything ourselves around here..good way to learn but yeah do you know anything about what price it would be to get it cleaned up and high flowed? the car made 235rwkw at 10psi and i had it running at 1bar after a while, stupid idea and probably why it blew but I knew what i was in for and didnt mind as i was going for the new build soon anyway but that seems like a quick fix and being the same turbo would obviously bolt immediately back on thanks for the help guys

but you'll need ALL the supporting mods if you go the highflow route...

grab a std turbo and bolt it on, otherwise start planning to spend a heap of cash...

Its currently running a big trust front mount, power fc /w hand controller, avcr, apexi power intake, Z32 AFM, 3 1/2inch jasma exhaust, big sard fuel pump, hks plugs, hks SSQV3 bov and soon to have spit fire coilpacks so its plenty to handle the high flowed set up

If there are no shops to tune though, what you doing to do there?

You also need injectors

And for the record there is no way you made 230rwkw on the factory turbo, its impossible. At 10psi, 190rwkw would be about right.

What state? You will need a tune, nistune. There is a search box up the top right, select 'this forum' and punch nistune into that.

Drop an nismo, tomei, bosch fuel pump in the car and run 14PSI with a nistune and you will actually run 230kw.

Don't just get a high flow and run the standard ECU, no point.

Could have been flywheel kw...it has injectors already sorry didn't put that down and yeah I haven't even seen dyno sheets for it I'm just going off what the seller had actually told me so I'm not trying to spin shit, all I know is it ate my mates 06 sti, has beaten ve ss's, supras etc but yeah I'll have to dyno it after the turbo gets back..this is all a learning experience as I've never worked on these engines before

It sounds to me like the turbo you have blown is not standard. Never heard of anyone doing all those mods plus injectors and Z32 AFM for a standard turbo on 10psi??

Maybe it was a hiflow already? Post up some pics of it.

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
