As title says, what is the absolute most responsive aftermarket turbo available for an RB25?

The factory turbo on R33's delivers great response and driveability and can deliver around 10psi of boost safely without spinning the ceramic turbine wheel off.

If not for the ceramic turbine wheel, would I be correct in assuming that the factory turbo would be able to deliver roughly 14psi without losing efficiency, and make around 230rwkw?

Is there a turbo with similar A/R's, trims etc to the factory Garrett but with steel/inconel/alloy wheels?

If so name it please!

We can high flow your standard turbo that has similar response to factory, while making a lot more power.

That is 20psi by 3400RPM maxing 320rwkws on E85. We usually seeing around the 260rwkws on P98 fuel.

Every thing looks stock standard, and bolt back on the way it was. No fabrications required.

I just sold my #hypergear highflow because it was too uneconomical for me to run. The power was great, but I don't need or want "20psi by 3400rpm". I can't afford the fuel costs or supporting mods to run 320rwkws.

I literally want the little factory Garrett but with a metal turbine wheel, so I can run a measly 12-14psi and make a little over 220rwkws on PULP with a PowerFC. I want full boost at ~2500rpm like the stock turbo!

:)

I've got one on an RB25det as a street car. With boost leaks it will make 20psi by about 3300RPM uphill in 4th.

you never have to change down gear above 50km/h in 4th.

but it doesn't respond as well as the stock turbo. The factory turbo makes the car feel like a small block chevy compared to the highflow. But it has major drawbacks.

If rebuilt to standard specs with a better bearing cartridge and steel wheels I'm sure you won't lose much response and on e85 you could push probably up towards 16-18psi. Remember ceramic/nylon wheels are lighter (I assume) which helps transient response

Yes!! And that's what I want!

I've had a 270rwkw Skyline, and as fun as it was, it was more fun around town (where I drive most) with the stock turbo. Next to no lag, and enough power to have fun.

Just send it to Hypergear and ask for it to be rebuilt to standard Nissan specs but with steel wheels and not high flowed.

Can hypergear do this?

Stock turbocharger was making 10psi by 2800RPM. Any thing that build boost faster results in compressor surges on partial load.

Most of the high flows I've done were built to generate about 260rwkws on P98 fuel. I can build some thing smaller to match factory boost curve, that works with standard ECU also.

By the way, The original turbocharger that I've high flowed for you was a Neo turbo. R33 turbine housings are smaller, in comparison is 500RPM more responsive.

A good used HKS 2535 may be what you need.

Crazy response, but will choke at top end. 230rwkw type of power.

I think they can handle high teens worth of boost.

or for a little bigger look at the HKS GT-RS

If you can build something which will match the factory boost curve/response, please PM the info Stao! I'd prefer a roller bearing CHRA too if possible!

You know the bigger the turbo the more economical the car is? :)

You're not always on boost haha.

In saying that, if you're after response check out Borg Warner turbos. They're truly amazing however will burn a hole through your pocket

Sounds like you're after my setup...

MX Performance exhaust manifold (with 1" runners), External wastegate with HKS GT-RS turbo with internal wastegate removed and welded closed.

With this setup the turbo is just as responsive as stock ~ 5 psi at 2000 rpm, however it has around 280 rwkw. Economy wise, I average around 10litres/100km.

My car is a daily drive, so I wanted no compromises on driveability... Check out my build thread for more info...

There's also some companies offering bolt ons (exhaust side at least) for the GTX2860/63/67. Probably better off getting Hypergear to refurb a stock turbo, but throwing it out there for interest.

SonicPerformance is doing turbo with housing:

Kudos has a kit on GTX2867 only:

Currently running a td05-18g, previously a hypergear hiflow, on r33/rb25. Both good for comparable to stock response, for the OP i would prob go with Stao's offer to build u one for your needs. I like the td05 but not really worth the dicking around to get to fit.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
