Hey I have a r32 gts4 it has a high mount set up ATM with just a t04 (eBay special) with external waste gate and it is just hopeless was on there when I got it it's way to lagg I want to change it to something more smooth in power but not sure what to go a lot of people are telling me r33 r34 turbo but how would I go about it with my high mount set up will I have to go back to stock manifold what would I have to change?

You'd need to change everything - manifold, dump, lines, turbo, intake piping etc.

You'd be better off with a R34 turbo, make 200rwkw, would be a good thing.

Sell off the manifold/turbo/dump and you'd probably almost workout even, if not infront

Really ok :) what about waste gate will that all have to be changed and what about a r34 neo stock turbo are they better then the normal r34 ones? Bit of a noob sorry haha

Oh k interesting mine was about half the price of that it was on there when I got it but stuffed up not long after and didn't have the money at the time for a good one so just got the same one again I'm not really going for huge power I would just love it to be smooth and have a fare bit of poke ;) atm it is great on boost strong as but down low ain't got nothing!!

Sam, please confirm the following details and we will be able to help you pick a suitable replacement (keep the highmount setup IMO, why not).

- What flange is your current turbo? T3 open, T4 open, T4 twin scroll?

- Is it external gate? If so is the gate working properly? IE holding boost properly ETC.

- What motor is this bolted to and do you have the rest of the supporting mods? IE tuned/tunable ecu, bigger injectors, fmic/tbe etc.

Give us this info and we will be able to help you pick a better turbo (rather than referring you back to a stock item only to need to upgrade again later when your bored). No offense to any posters with this comment either.

Thanks,

Ok mate well I'm sure its a t03 5 bolt flange it is external gated and the gate works fine I

Have big blitz front mount not to sure on actual size k and n pob standard ecu I believe but I have a emanage ecu that come with the car but haven't used it yet full 3" exhaust hope this helps

Thanks for your help :)

My best recomendation is to work out exactly what is done to that car, if it is tuned and how it is running ETC.

If its definitely a T3 flange turbo we will be able to recommend a great alternative which will make the car get up and boogie, BUT we really wouldnt want to give that advice unless the car is properly set up for that sort of thing.

If its literally running the stock ECU at the moment then your not in for a good time whether you change the setup or not. You will either need to go and do all the required upgrades to proceed or return it to a stock turbo like Ash said.

Please properly look into what the car is running and get back to us.

Alright I believe the motor is mostly stock besides spitfire coils ache 550cc injectors and a bigger fule pump I'm not to sure on the exact type of fule pump and injectors but will try and find out I gotta try find out some more info on the ecu I'll get some numbers and what not for you as I dont know to much about them.. What are your thoughts on the G readdy E manage I got with the car they any good ??

Thanks

Greddy emanage blue ? there a piggy back ecu, u can control timing and fuel with them, not as good as a stand alone tho. As for ur turbo id swap it out with a kando like mentioned above. I wouldnt go any bigger than a TD05. I recently sold a kando TD05 to another sau member who since put it on an RB25, hes told me it starts spooling at 3k. so on a RB20 it could be a tiny bit later.

Oh k yeah I was thinking about gettin a wolf computer for it the guy I got it off said that you gotta plug the computer in once the cars hot coz it is hard to start when cold but I've never bothed with it

It doesn't sound like the current setup is any good mate.

Do lots and lots of reading if you can, the answers are all here. It sounds like you might need to start from scratch in some aspects, or at least get a real ECU for it. A nistune is probably your cheapest option in terms of being effective.

I recommend you see a decent tuner and ask them what they see in the car, they will know whats going on and will be able to make some suggestions regarding where to go from here. Just ask for their advice first and see what they can offer.

If your in NSW I recommend you go see DVS JEZ, he will work out whats in the car and send you on the right path. Can do your tuning and supply/fit/tune a Nistune for a great price.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
