Geeze you must have done a lot of searching cause thats probably the most popular thread topic on here! :nyaanyaa:

Basically a Hypergear turbo will bolt straight to your manifold and dump pipe. I assume you already have a metal intake pipe, if not you will need one on whatever turbo you choose. The SS1PU is looking like a great street turbo to have, and if you want more power then the ATR43G3.

Then there is the GT3071/3076 options which are very common. They will need a different dump pipe as its different to the standard nissan 6 bolt.

There are also the Kando turbos.

Do you have enough fuel capacity to flow a larger turbo?

I would be doing a lot of reading if I were you. On the first 1-2 pages there is a thread about Hypergear turbos, a thread about Kando turbos and at least 2 threads about Garrett turbos. Not to mention the rb25 dyno results thread which should answer all your questions.

OK so I'm assuming a lot here so let me know if I'm off base...

R33 GTS-T

Current = GCG High Flow R33 Turbo on its last legs

PFC

Injectors

Fuel Pump

Z32 AFM

Thought about a R34 OP6 Highflow? Its a straight bolt on and has a .63 rear housing so it can go harder than the R33 highflows...

Should do up to about 265, depending on the quality of your other supporting mods. So 240 is easilly acheived while still being responsive as faaarrrk.

As stated above, stick to the GCG highflow.

Its a good stout unit, dont fix what aint broke.. So make sure its not worn out before you go changing it or bothering to rebuild it.

You already have the PFC too so make sure you have the right injectors and AFM for your power goal, alone with FMIC TBE and a fuel pump and all you need is a retune.

Cheers,this is just what i needed to know.I have sard 650s,large walbro fuel pump,split fire coil packs.7 years back when i had the turbo done the most ever got out of it was 215kw on a good day,she just ran out of puff.I don't want to be dissapointed again.Been to many tuners over the years and they all said the same thing runnung out of puff.The 34 might just be the way to go for me.Need a safe tune as she is my daily,had compression test done today across all 6 cyl between 155 and 165,mech said that was pretty good.I have a series 2 motor in her now so i hope i can have a bit more safe power,got 314000 on the clock now,never at home.I would hope gcg puts a larger rear housing on these days,that seemed to be where the restriction is on mine.Might check out gcg see what there doing these days. :D Ps have the z32 as well.

I had a 33GTST turbo highflowed by GCG - ran it at 240awkw and 15psi in my Stagea - it had made 260kw at one point so your figures sound like a stock turbo. Did you get it highflowed or was it sold to you as a high flow? Mine cost about $1800 - I wouldn't do it again since I could get a new GT3076 for about $2k but in your case I would go for the Hypergear as I believe they are better kw for the $ than GCG.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
