hey im recently new to this site and im just about to buy a series 2 R33 skyline once i sell my 180, ive got a few questions that im not to sure about.

1 how much hp does the standard t3 turbo handle and boost?

2 how mcuh kw at the wheels should this performance package get me?

400hp gt28 turbo, frount mount, 3" zorst, piggy back computer, ill also have the other stuff like pod, bov, and revised fuel system and irridium plugs.

3 whats the most common problem/s that can occur when buying a skyline?

cheers :)

1. Around 13 pound... isnt it safely, before it goes pop?

2. Well from your package...depending on dyno etc im guessing around the 190 to 200 rwkw mark

Might want to invest in a larger fuel pump..and injectors next?

What sort of piggy back ecu are you using...

3 problems.

1./ need more mods...youll never stop, its like a disease

2./parking it in public car parks

3./its an idiot magnet

GT28 is only about the same size as the standard "T28 like turbo" on the R33.. except it will have steel wheels, and hence will be able to wind the boost up more. Problem is that with the A/R of these, you're going to run past the efficiency range that the turbo can provide not much quicker than the stock unit - and may only get around 220rwkw (if that). GT28 is mainly suited to 2L or 1.8L engines, bit small for RB25DET. The 400HP that is quoted is probably for smaller capacity engines - you'll probably get less than that on an RB25det

Should be able to get 190rwkw or so max with stock turbo depending on the dyno.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
