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

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
