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

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
