Hey everyone,

It seems a few of the manifold studs have snapped, as theres is a really loud exhaust leak from the engine bay, So i've decived i'll take it in and get a few other things replaced/fixed at the same time

exhaust manifold

rocker cover gaskets

possibly rear wheel bearings

I'm just wondering if theres anything else i should look at having done while the exhaust manifold gets done, cause i'm guessing the turbo and everything will have to come out? good time for a turbo upgrade?

If you do a turbo upgrade you will need a tune to go with it as well as, z32 afm, injectors, fuel pump, fmic etc to take full advantage of the new setup. Then you might also need a decent clutch to hold the power as you can see it kind of snow balls.

If you are staying with the same turbo you could to the turbo to manifold gasket and the dump pipe gasket just incase that's about to let go.

Sorry, i should of listed the modifications,

Apexi ecu

Front mount intercooler

Sard fuel pressure regulator

Walbro 550 fuel pump

Blitz Electronic boost controller

H&R coil overs

An aftermarket clutch has also been fitting by the previous owner, i'm not sure what type. It does feel pretty tight and firm though.

What do you think i should do from here? Z32 and new injectors?

Thanks,

I don't really know anything about injectors, what size would you recommend? Or is it dependant on the size of the turbo? I'm not after that much more power, i still want the car to be reliable, well, as reliable as a skyline can be.

Any turbos/injectors you'd recommend looking at? Or informative threads.

Edit:

Does anyone know much about the Hypergear hiflow exhausts?

I can't high flow your exhaust. But yes can certainly high flow the factory turbocharger.

For starter you can run standard or SS2.5 or G3.5 high flow depending on HP and budget you are going for.

I can do a special bundle deal with adaptronic plug in ecu also. It have a built in map sensor so no need for afm. If you are not looking for any thing above 230rwkws then ask Toshi to remap your stock ecu and run factory AFM.

injector wise, stock injectors are ok for up to 230rwkws. ID1000s are nice, Unfortunately they are not drop ins for R33s, I personally run Power enterprise 850ccs, or Jpec 650s are also ok.

Haha sorry, I did mean turbo.

I have an Apexi power fc ecu, and there are a couple of tuners around Perth that tune them, So i'd stick with that, So i guess i'd need a Z32

What would the 650cc injectors be good to?

Also, what about dump pipes and that sort of thing?

There is no E85 in WA yet. So 650cc will do fine for 300rwkws+ on 98. PFC is fine. If the car needs to appear stockish then high flowing factory turbo is preferred. and it can support towards the 270rwkws mark.

Stock AFM is ok for upto 250rwkws mark. Z32 AFM for any thing above.

Yuh, you want the big 0.82 PU R33 highflow jobby, or whatever the current variation that Stao reckons is the duck's nuts.

But you won't get towards 300 rwkW on that highflow. You'll most likely be at the 280 rwkW end of the range. If you really want to go for 300, then you'd be better off getting one of his ATR turbos. But even then you're working at the upper limit of what the stock manifold is good for anyway. Just go with the highflow.

I'm not sure what sort of power my is currently making, but i guess it's probably a bit under 200rwkw?

So i think i'd be pretty happy with 280rwkw.

If i went with the PU 0.82 hiflowed turbo, new injectors, z32 and a tune. it would be good for around 280rwkw?

Later on down the track if i wanted more, would i be able to just change the manifold and get an ext wastegate, right?

Thats on right track. I'm making 286rwkws on a high flowed PU turbo. Per HG's thread it is the new g3 turbo in Hatachi compressor housing, it would capable of doing 350rwkws with E86, 6 boost and external gate.

What mods have you done to your car george?

high flowed turbo

Cheap ebay cooler kit.

650cc injectors

Z32 AFM

Nistune ecu

3inch turbo back exhaust (Kakimoto ?)

Split fire coil packs

3inch metal intake pipe

040 fuel pump

Turbosmart Manual boost controller.

and that was it. Unfortunately ID 1000 wasn't available when I got mine. Get ID1000 injectors and run it on E85.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
