Hi guys,

I have a R34 GT-T and I'm wondering if i should high flow it or buy a new turbo.

So far i have installed a 3" Turbo back exhaust and manual boost controller running at around 10psi, but still looking for a bit more power.

I am not an expert on turbos but i am learning as i go.

My friend has a turbo off a RB30 that has been high flowed, i did read somewhere that they definitely are not a bolt on replacement, but can i use the internals on my housing?

Also if anyone could give me the part numbers of the stock turbo on both the RB25 and RB30

Or alternatively recommend a bolt on replacement with a price estimation.

This has been covered many many many times...


Bare minimum = Highflow R34 OP6 Turbo + FMIC + Turbo Back Exhaust + ECU + Dyno Tune

The above mods will max out at about 210 - 220rwkw... unless you also do...

AFM + Injectors + Fuel Pump

Thanks for the link very helpful.

no i haven't upgraded my ECU yet, any recommendations on that?

I'm sure it would have been, there are just so many posts and replies to go through that i would have been up all night trying to find an answer.

Just thought i would post a couple of videos with the mods i ended up doing




Only mod i had done before these was when i boosted the stock turbo to around 11 psi



This is when i took off the old exhaust and before i installed the 3" exhaust




This is when i installed a 3" turbo back exhaust





My cousin had a VL High flow turbo that bolts up to the exhaust manifold but has different stud pattern to dump pipe so i decided to put in, with a few mods that had to be done we made it fit. i know i should have done some other mods before this but it was spare of the moment kind of thing so until i do any more upgrades to compensate for the bigger turbo I'm just running it on low boost


.


i had to get a new oil line ($120) made, because my dump pipe from the turbo to the cat was 1 piece i had it get that modified to suit the VL dump pipe ($250 exhaust mod), had to find the a VL dump pipe and saw a few days earlier that one sold on ebay for $80 but after 1 day of searching on a friday and having to have the car running over the weekend i ended up buying the only i could find for $300 and all the extra piping for the intake and in-between the compressor housing and intercooler which worked out to be around another $50.



Total spent $520 plus what ever my cousin wants for the turbo which he said he paid around $500 which apparently was run for a round 5000km's and rated to 25 psi.



A lot more turbo lag in 1st and 2nd it wont start boosting until 3000 rpm but 3rd gear and over it boosts well. Only running it at just under 8 psi it is significantly faster then before. the night i left my cousins house i raced another r34 and he told me he had a 3" exhaust and he had boosted it to 10 psi, he had me on take off but as soon i started boosting there was clear winner :) …… it wasn't a proper race it was like a slow rolling start but you could clearly see the improvement.



This was just me taking of from a friends house




i also need to organise a ECU, FMIC and tune


does anyone know a safe limit to boost it too once i get a FMIC without changing injectors or fuel pump?

yes! go read...read a lot. All your questions are very basic and all have the answers within this forum. It's only a matter of time before someone starts yelling at you for not using the search function and cluttering the forum. I was at the same stage as you back in 2009, but i read, researched and learned. Now i can do anything on my R33 with ease.

But work out what ecu you're going to use first and stop bolting on random turbos that the stock ecu has no idea how they flow or raising boost without knowing what what your A/F or EGT are.

There is a lot of info on this forum which is great and the main reason i signed up to this forum, but sometimes ill be searching for hours and find it hard to find the answers relevant to my situation and then i get a bit impatient so i post the question. Ill ease up on the questions and keep searching.

I had basic understanding of engines but since i got this car it has really taken me to a new level of understanding, no doubt there is still so much more too learn.

Thats what I'm focusing on next ECU and an intercooler, once that is done ill start researching on what i will do next.

Just go a nistune mate. Get the base model plazmaman intercooler kit. Call hypergear up and get him to highflow your standard turbo. Best bang for buck. Or find a HKS 2530,2535,2540,gtrs or even a 2835.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
