Better start searching mate. Go to the rb25 dyno thread,

And send your gf back to the kitchen. This would never have happened if she didn't leave the kitchen.

:rofl2:

If it was my car i know i wouldnt be fitting it up, it will be laggy but thats the least of your problems... Getting piping etc made to suit, re-tuned and all that stuff just to SEE if the chinese POS works? I would Ebay it and let some other goose give it a go... BUT thats just me :wave:

No such thing if you want to do it properly. Even less likely for an R34GTT... If you want to do a cost effective turbo upgrade then i would suggest the HG turbos... Any way you go with a turbo upgrade is going to cost decent money!

You should be fine, go have a read of the HG thread along with a squizz at the RB25 dyno section etc....

My car was running 200kw when i got it with high flow turbo, Power FC, Standard AFM, Standard Injectors etc.... I upgraded the injectors to 550cc and ran 250kw still running the standard AFM (However i would suggest you upgrade it if you are going for a retune anyway), make sure your fuel pump is up to the task and ideally have exhaust, cooler and some form of boost control.... There are many ways around making power but simple ways are very effective!

I'd keep it subtle but responsive for a street tune.

Upgrade to a R34 GTR N1 turbo (Ball Bearing Steel Internals).

Which is equivalent to a Garrett -7 or more so very similar.

For a bit more top end go for a Garrett -9.

GTT dude... Not GTR?

haha thought so!

Best off keeping it simple..... My original highflow was all factory bolt up, so for stealth and cost reasons he should aim for somthing like that.... Other GTT's out there making good power with them, mine didnt as the tuner was a retard.... Since then i got bored and continued on to a high mount, but the cost outweighs the cost of the car so when you see a post "Not very expensive"you generally steer away from MOST aftermarket setups :P

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
