I have a close to standard R33 gts-t and would like to reach a goal of 250rwkw.

I have been told a GT2535/2540 is suitable for this kind of power. Does anyone have any other suggestions on which turbo i could use, possibly something cheaper as I heard they sell for $4000 which im not sure is true. Its a daily driver so I would like good mid range response.

What will I have to upgrade to run this kind of power safely?

Fuel Pump

Injectors

Tougher Synchros

Oil Cooler

And just remember I am not keen on spending millions of dollars. I just want something that will remain low-mount and make my car a quick street car.

I was also told hi-flowing the standard turbo would only be good for 210rwkw. Is that true?

HKS gtr-s would be the go with 550cc injectors and bosch motorsport pump mounted in the factory in tank position a gtr intercooler would be nice to see also if you had the dollars.Oil cooler only needed for track racing or drifting so save money and spend it elsewhere. you would also need aftermarket comp management i think microtech make a plugin system thats good value for money Stace Racer :flower:

hi dude, 250rwkw is no mean feat and should be fairly straight forward.

you will need the fuel pump, a front mount, a clutch, and an programmable ECU. And of course a good free flowing exhaust and filter.

You wont NEED the injectors and as you arent keen on spending heaps, just get a rising rate reg. Your gearbox will cope with the power fine.

A 2535 may hit 250rwkw, the 2540 should definitly hit 250rwkw. But new they cost a bit, so you could always go second hand for ~2grand. Problem may be that the 2535 is a bit hard to find 2nd hand, and the 2540 people dont seem to like!

I went to UAS the other week and looked at a band new Garret 3040 internal gate low mount that will bolt straight up, giving you the stock appearance you want. John at UAS will guarantee you will see 250rwkw, i think at around 1.2-1.3BAR, which you can run safely with the standard compression if the tune is good. UAS also insisted that this turbo was not laggy at all and gave excellent response.

If your sure that 250rwkw is all you want, then thats the road i would take.

Your best bet is ring UAS, they told me theyve sold, installed, and tuned many of these recently on R33's. Tried and tested, easiest way to go!

So would i just need one of those Bosch 044 Pumps? Would a Power Fc be fine for this type of power output or should I go for a microtech?

I would definitely be getting a FMIC and full turbo-back 3" exhaust. I heard about a special High-flowing job that GCG or was is CGC, do for the standard turbo to help it reach or get very close to my goal. Would that be a good option?

I'm on the road to 250rwkw myself and this is what i'm doing...

Currently:

* Std ECU

* Std Turbo

* Std Injectors

* Ex Cam Gear

* 3" Turbo Back Exhaust

* Dualstage Boost Controller

* K&N Panel Filter

* FMIC

* Clutch

* Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

= 186rwkw (rich)

Future:

* Power FC + H/C + Boost Kit ($1900)

* GCG 500hp Hiflow Turbo ($1900)

* Fuel Pressure Regulator ($160)

= 240-250rwkw (leaned out and with a bit of luck)

By the time I get there i'll need a better clutch and also some wider rims so it never ends. Now I just gotta find about $5k :D

What do you know, I'm on the road to 250rwkw (maybe even a bit more)

I've got FMIC 600x300x100,Decatted exhaust + pod with CAI.

This is what I'm going to do:

T3/t4 hybrid turbo, int. gated rated 500hp bolt on

Haltech E6X full management

Bosch pump 044 if 910 doesn't do the job(i've already gotten the 910)

550 injectors

Fuel pressure reg.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
