Hi,

I'm pretty sure that the turbo on my r33gtst s2 has just let go.

Waiting to confirm with the shop but no boost and lots of noise from turbo. Doesnt look good :-(

Anyone have anything local for sale?

Anyone know a local place to get the turbo Hi flowed? I asked one mob and they said it cant be done as it has ceramic (I thought the whole point was to replace with steel!!)/

Lastly, If I do go a larger turbo any thoughts on setup? I been reading a bit on the forced induction forums but too many options for me.

My car is relatively stock with Dump pipe,Turbo back exhaust, etc. Has recently had a h/duty nismo clutch put in it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Jump on the hyper gear website and have a look at their direct bolt ons

Also if yours isn't cracked you can send yours off to them and for around $900 they will repair and highflow it

Probably the best option for a stock setup unless your aiming for higher numbers then you have to start looking at other things

Around 190-210 maybe but you would need a tune so if your going cheap then maybe looking into an apexi safc

That will allow you to lean out the top end making better power. Right now with that setup will make te standard computer run pretty rich because it will trip put with all the air running in and just rich it up to be safe

What goal are you aiming for and we can tell you what Oi would need.

GCG turbo's can high flow it, no idea of price though but they have a very good reputation.

Might be worth having a read of this thread, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/55845-rb25-turbo-upgrade-all-dyno-results/ check for other people running a similar setup to you and see what their results are like. Might give you some idea of which way you want to go.

      Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.

      Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.

      More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.

      IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.

      They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
