lol u guys burr up easy. or what about this one, comes with a 16psi actuator so id have to swap it out for a 7psi one.

And yes i will post pics when its all completed

Are you just blindly searching "skyline turbo" and clicking on the cheapest one you see?

Seriously do some research!

I had one of those turbos on my VL. They're no good. Made some OK power but there were lots of problems.

If you get one, and I strongly reccomend you don't. Make sure you have the right amount of oil going into it, the seals are made of out play dough so they won't handle any excess oil pressure. You need to warm them up and cool them down very carefully or shit gets rough.

They're just totally not worth the hassle.

I also got a cheap stainless manifold too, spend more money modifying the flamin mongrel to fit and I did on the actual manifold then after a few skids it just cracked. Should have just got a 6 boost or something else awesome.

Also had a shitty 55mm monsta gate that'd jam when it got hot; sometimes open, sometimes closed, not really ideal and it cost me my engine from wicked over boost.

I'm sure there are some people out there that'll say they're OK, but I'd rather just a high flow R34 turbo any day. Or my Garrett GT3076R :D

You're better off lurking the forsale threads on here and getting some decent 2nd hand gear than getting some shit ebay crap.

amen - this post should be stickied :)

Didnt know this thread was still going. What about an R32 factory turbo. 10psi actuator ? Can they be clocked ? I have no water lines on my car so do u think they would crap itself being oil fed only ?

I know this is the wrong section. I put some new wheels on my car yesterday. Hiro gold 19x10.5 and 19x9. Whats yous think. Had to roll the rear guards.

Now i have my cooler to install

Wut

Not sure why you would have the water lines blocked off assuming it's still rb25.

Rb20 turbo will fit very easy but will struggle to flow any great power ,still probably make 170rwkw on 14psi. If you are on that tight a budget then rb20 turbo really isn't a bad idea assuming your getting it for $50. For $250 you could get a r33 turbo and make 200rwkw with r32 acuator.

If it's still rb25 then grab some standard water lines and bolt them in with a standard turbo and enjoy good power at a cheap price with some reliability.

Oh no sorry dude this isnt for my 33, It was for a different car im going to build. I wasnt sure which turbo would suit but at this stage im gonna go with a Kando. An R32 turbo would be a good option but soon figured i couldnt get the exhaust dump pipe to work. (curves the wrong way to which i need)

You do know you deliberately posted photos of a 33 in that post right?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • 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.
