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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
