ok i am looking to upgrade from my stock turbo to a nice new one in a month or so.

engine is an rb25det with big front mount and 3 inche exhaust form turbo.

i wil be upgrading the fuel system at the same time so no need to mention it :D

what would be the best bolt on turbo or a turbo that wouldnt need too much work to put on? im lookin in the 1.5-2k mark

thanx guys

If your looking at a direct bolt on, the HKS 2530,2535,2540 will pop straight on with no mods.

Im looking at this upgrade soon, but want something a little more bigger, say 3037 s pro, but i beleive you need a spacer and some line modifications. Still a spacer wouldnt be too hard to fabricate

I was just about to post the same question:

I've just purchased a LINK ECU and a Bosch 910 fuel pump for my R33 RB25det

Other mods: HKS GT FMIC,Exhaust, pod with CAI and Heat shield.

I thought what the heck, I'd save up a bit longer and get a new turbo and put everything on at one go. (It costs RM1k to retune).

What would be the best option for a turbo upgrade at the cheapest price?

I would like to get 230-250rwkw AND reliability for a car that will never see the track nor any street racing.

Thanks

I have an r33 gtst with a 3037pros turbo bolted to my standard manifold. It needs a spacer plate about 10mm thick to clear the side of the engine block, also you need new water and oil lines. l installed the turbo myself and it wasn't that difficult. On Race Paces dyno on 14 pound in conjunction with a power FC walbro fuel pump 740cc injectors, fuel pressure regultater, Z32 AFM, FMIC and full 3 inch exhaust it made 256RWKW.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
