Turbo upgrade for R32 GTS-T.


Recommended Posts

Ok, i want to upgrade my standard turbo on my 32 gts-t. I've been thinking a 2nd hand GT2530 (any other suggestions). I don't want to spend over 2k.

I have a fmic, 3" zorst, pod, bov. Fuel pump, SAFC and fuel regulator on the way. Anyone recommend anything else i might need for the turbo upgrade before i wind up the boost?

Do i need to do injectors?

ecu i would say, get rid of the stock fuel and boost cuts etc..

i think you can run upto 1.3bar (not 100% sure) on the 2530 and your afm may max out at this level of boost too (unsure). if thats the case and you go for an ecu then you could get a z32 afm to work around the 5v max out of the air flow meter. whats your clutch like? :)

Yeah good thinking, the afm will need to be changed, thus i may as well not waste my time with an SAFC and just bite the ECU bullet. Power FC or Wolf guys?

The clutch is being worked on. Killing the stock clutch first. I've made this car a 7 month plan, ready for Christmas holidays.

How much hp can the stock rb20det injectors handle safely?

Sounds like a good upgrade Ronin, but im really after a big kick when it boosts. And besides, i've got 7 months to build this car (i lost my license) so im in no rush for cheaper options.

well the 33 turbo makes 190rwkw at 14psi, and another person has just made 200rwkw with the 2530 at 17psi...i'd go for something larger than the 2530 the gains dont seem to be all that good. having had 190rwkw it gets boring rather quickly

If budget is strictly 2k, then i would be looking at getting your turbo high flowed. It will bolt straight back on, use al the same piping and lines, and only additional cost will be radiator of coolant, 4L of oil and two new gaskets....that it, not another dollar to spend.

Be wary of buying a 2nd hand 2530, as there are a few little parts that need changing which all add to the cost (water/oil lines, inlet pipes), plus its a 2nd hand turbo and could have dramas which with a strict 2k budget means you have a nice souvenir but nothing to bolt onto your engine

Wise advice Roy, but i think im just going to have to take the chance and trust the supplier of the turbo. How much does high-flowing the standard turbo cost?

If someone could enlighten me on the high-flowing process of the standard RB20DET Turbo, that would be great.

    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
    • That is a dead f**king short of B+ to ground. Scary.
    • 10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.
