hey guys,

Well i am thinking about maybe adding a turbo to my R33...

i am not going for anything too insane, probably only a stock 33/32 turbo to begin with running @ 7PSI or some low amount like that...

my questions:

would i only need turbo + manifold + stock intercooler

or would i also need ECU + injectors + air flow metre

i don't know anything about how the turbo's go on, i know there must be oil/water lines conencted to it?

any feedback would be great :rant:

am i wasteing my cash?

thanks guys

I would say that you are probaly wasting your cash man. It would be easier to just sell the NA and then buy the Turbo.. If you have a look at a lot of the importers atm they are getting HEAPS of R33 turbos in VERY cheap atm.. last night I recived notification of one that came with Aftermarket turbo - intercooler zaust etc etc for only 15K

have a look at some of them.. might be worth your time

my car is in perfect condition - inside and out - 68k KM's with log books....why would iw ant to sell it and go for a thrashed GTS-t that has probably had clock wound back :cheers:

if i wanted to spend a whole heap i'd do full conversion to RB25DET from a half-cut..

this is just a idea i been thinking about doing it on the cheap for now to improve performance a little :D

putting a turbo on a N/A skyline Read this for a rough idea of what's involved

Good power can be had on the high compression, I'd suggest going for a bigger turbo than the R33 stocko one...with the compression being higher it spools these little ones up a tad too quick....a T04E will give you probably the same response as a factory RB25DET setup...meaning less chance of pinging at low RPM, just keep the boost about 7-8psi and you'll be fine.

Listen to ppl.

your choice

1. Keep your immaculate NA sky

2. sell your NA and buy a threashed turbo sky

3. sell your Na and buy not threashed turbo sky

4. buy RB25DET that is threashed and take out RB25DE plus buy manifold ECU new clutch plus new plugs oils pay $1000 plus for labour for machanic. plus $50 per week public transport fee while car is at machanics plus more fuel costs puld new rotors and brake set ups pads...etc..etc.

Just keep the NA as it is and be happy about it!!!

me two cents

I'd say get a HKS GT2530 turbo kit for N/A RB25DE's. The high compression wonderfully suits the turbo, its ball bearing so its good for a bit more later down the track. Also comes with optional manifold etc.

OR, supercharge your RB25DE, its becoming a very viable choice with a fair few companies in VIC and NSW (and possibly QLD) doing it. That way you keep most of the old gear. its the most economical way of boosting your car.

BTW guys I'm sorry for not having my power figures up yet....but I need to get some more coils packs before I can give her a dyno run....I know if I put it on now it'll give a shittier result that what it really packs! It seriously has some balls though :D

or better yet

get a stock rb25det

remove stock turbo

remove stock cooler

remove stock ecu

remove stock clutch

remove stock air flow meter

add the following

apexi power fc, hand controller and boost controller kit

z32 air flow meter

hks 2530 or ax53b70 turbocharger or t04e/garrett gt30

r33 or r34 gtr front mount intercooler

full 3.5" exhaust system, including hiflow cat, dump pipe and front pipe

255 rear tyres or 265 tyres

whiteline pineapple or suspension kit

gtr fuel pump (from r33)

tomei cams kit

twin plate clutch kit

stock air box or mount pod outside engine bay

depending on turbo you choose exterrnal wastegate and screamer pipe

should get you to see 250rwkw at mid 11's on the 1/4

engine will cost $3000 and parts and turning will cost about $10k

:D

    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
    • Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov
    • Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
