Hey guys not sure which turbo will suit price/power/stealth

im after a turbo which is undetectable by cops, has more power than stock and isnt too expensive and has minimal turbo lag.

ive been looking at this hyergear g1 400hp rated turbo, its a direct bolt on for rb25 and its $1250 i have a jjr split pipe coming too so i wanna hit it all in one go.

rpm range for boost is 1500-3600 rated 20psi

link : http://digi-hardware.com/atr43.html

can i have this turbo on running 8psi like what my current turbo is running now and should it be fine? or do i need pfc with it?

current mods :

- 3.5 cat back

- return flow FMIC

- HD clutch

- BMC panel filter

the final power figure im aiming for eventually is whatever the injectors can throw out safely so 220? with 80% or 90% duty? not a gun on this part.

Thankyou in advance!

Absolutely agree with the above. Hypergear's hiflow of your existing turbo will be the closest thing to your stealth requirement and cost less than the ATR43. But don't upgrade your turbo if you're not going to upgrade everything else. At minimum you want Nistune, fuel pump, intercooler and 14 psi, + turbo upgrade or you are wasting your time. And that's just to take you to the limits of your stock injectors. Time for you to read a few sticky threads I think.

Sorry forgot to mention the main reason for this post, my turbo is making loud noise like a sander on a piece of perpex. it gets louder and more noticeable as it pass 2-3 mins of consistent WOT.

under normal driving conditions there no unusual audible sound.

thanks guys.

so best option is to get my turbo high flowed? what will the power rating be with bigger wheels on it? turbo lag etc?

2 to 3 minutes of consistent WOT... Where are you driving that thing, across seven airport runways in a row?!

Where is this place I want a go

i had this high pitched noise on my old GTT, thought it was poss the turbo but in the end it was the FMIC which had a slight leak around one of the silicone joiners. So i just pulled it all apart and put it all back together making 200% sure all was nice and snug, and got some good clamps and ditched the ones it came with. Norma ones i think?

i had a highflow hypergear on my GTT as well, nice bit of kit. Stealth, punchy and plenty of fun in a rwd Skyline. 250rwkw ish on 98. 280'ish on E85.

But like the others, no point getting the turbo, dump etc without getting something to tune it. As you have a R33, you're better off getting a power fc i reckon.

no doubt ill be gettin a pfc just wondering if i should rebuild my one or be looking at something else. whats the differences between a rebuilt highflowed r33 turbo compared to a hypergear g1 turbo in regards to power/response/ boost/cost etc.

He was actually driving an R32 with an RB20 in 3rd gear and at 3,000 RPM. It was slightly uphill.

Like others have said you will need to upgrade more if you are changing the turbo, seems a waste to upgrade the turbo and only get 1/10th of the upgrade it can offer. This is what id be doing

Fuel pump

Some sort of injectors if not an adjustable reg

3 inch dump

Aftermarket computer. Weather it be a nistune or power fc

Maybe a EBC

Z32 afm

Turbo

Tune

But doing all of that if a cop sees something he does't like he will defect you, so really if you went for a garrett a trubo is going to be the least of your worries as he will probally get you for to low etc.

sweet guys thanx for all ur help. Im gonna just drive it around like a granny till i save up for a hypergear highflow, pfc, injectors, fuel pump, 3" turbo back, ebc, z32 afm or map sensor. and a sexy tune!

sex!

thanks again guys.

-split dump

-venom hi-flow cat

Get those done first.

What sort of CAI are you running? If you haven't already upgraded that yet do that before you go altering the turbo. Even if it is just a good panel filter in the stock box.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
