Hey guys

Car: r33 Gts-t Rb25

Just wondering what you think about the GT2860RS as a bolt on upgrade.

Im running pretty much stock with an Exhaust and Fmic

Also splitfire coils.

Ecu hasnt been programed and im just looking for something more reliable then the stock turbo.

I dont want it to blow up and stuff up my engine so im thinking the Disco potato would be a pretty nice little upgrade.

Thanks

I been reading up about them and they seem to only suit SR20's or twin turbo formation.

Know of the costs to get your turbo high flowed? is it reliable for a stock turbo.

My main worry is running 13 pound on my stock and blowing it up and damaging more parts in my engine

Talk to "hypergear" on these forums. They will recondition your turbo, change the ceramic exhaust wheel to steel and machine the housings to allow more flow and more power and safe to run more boost to.

PM hypergear or give them a call (google search will give you the site)

Thanks heaps mate.

Just checked out the website and found a pretty nice one for half the price.

430HP R32/3 xIU Turbo

Cost for Standard high flow is $800 + GST High pressure actuator optional

the challenge you have with going for a larger turbocharger is you will turn up the boost

then you need a clutch, fuel pump, ecu and a tune

you can always recondition the standard turbocharger to the same specs

that is, bascially a highflow (its the same thing) without highflow spec parts

Hypergear currently has options that suit both basic and extended setups (stock injectors/afm to big injectors/z32).

The technology has come far enough now that you can run a HG turbo on 14psi and make good power and response that will max out the injectors and afm, and you can then change the injectors and afm and turn it up to 20psi and make big turbo power. Its a good thing.

FYI HG's old G1 highflow was close to 2860RS specs, but it would be alot cheaper doing that than it would putting an actual Disco on. Reason being the Disco uses a T2 flange and 5 bolt dump, skyline is T3 and 6 bolt. The highflow will retain factory position so your existing manifold and dump will bolt up.

Exactally

You could rebuild a turbo to stock with steel wheels if you wanted. Not sure if you'd call it a highflow but it wouldnt go bang on 15psi which is what he is after. My gt2835 Kai ran fine on my old tune up to about 11psi, just cramming more boost and flow pushed the tune to new cells

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yeah im just pretty much looking for something that is reliable up to around 11-15 psi.

The stock one does the job but I just dont want it to fall apart under the pressure.

Not looking to upgrade the injectors etc till the bank account lets me.

But yeah basically dont want the turbo to blow up and cause me huge issues.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
