The standard turbo is hard to beat if you want that responsive feel.

I had that standard turbo running at 1bar for a while until I went to the drag strip and to turbine wheel gave up.

I bought a hybrid afterwards and was initially disappointed about the added lag.

The factory turbo made about 1 bar / 14,4 PSI at 3000 rpm and .5 bar at 2500rpm.

On the other had my hybrid lags the OEM turbo by about 600rpm with more upward potential and real fun from there on.

Usable torque is from 3000rpm with no complaints from the engine department.

Did you say what kind of boost you want to run?

I personally would go for one of the smaller HKS ball bearing turbos.

Or just get someone to rebuild the OEM turbo with billet wheels.

I have attached one of my old dynos with the (over)boost curve of the standard turbo.

It might help you decide on your purchases.

Reason I mentioned the 16G is I have driven two RB20 powered R32s back to back, one running an RB25 turbo and the other an EVO 16G and the 16G basically did everything as good as or better than the RB25 turbo. If that was anything to go by I suspect it would be basically like driving a stock turbo on am RB25, if not more impressive overall when you factor in the extra flow and ability to cope with a good dose of midrange boost.

Not necessarily for OP as we've exchanged emails. Information below is for other members whom might be considering to high flow their factory turbochargers.

Factory Spec high flow V Standard Turbocharger. Both tuned on stock injectors. This is only for people whom does not wish add supporting mods.

Our standard 21U highflow is capable of holding 20psi flat and happy to take timing (this is not easy). Below is E85 reading that can be used to compare to factory turbo response above. take 40kws off for P98 result.

John mentioned his intake manifold gaskets blew out on the final run so I believe that was from the leak. I was getting slightly better response on P98 fuel, so boost response doesn't change much.

All excellent feedback, and thanks Stao for the charts, they look great.

So my next question is, what is the maximum kw you can expect stock RB25 injectors to reasonably flow. Obviously wouldn't want to run at 100% duty, hence the word 'reasonable'.

The 219rwkws from standard injector above is where the factory injectors are maxed out. Which is roughly where most tuners would tune them to.

Using factory ECU, I usually see around 170rwkws mark before it goes to limp mod.

My logs showed about 70% duty cycle at around 220RKW.

.

As said it also depends on AF ratio.

I had some ignition cut at 220RKW, but only when flooring it hard,

(fuel / ignition cut might be different to what some people call limp mode)

Does that mean the injectors were the limiting factor in that tune Stao? Could the turbo flow more power?

Obviously I would be using an aftermarket computer.

Yuh, you can pretty much go to max injectors on the stock turbo at some risk of killing the turbo. Doesn't really need to be a highflow to do that much.

Torques - I think you have to be careful comparing @wkW between the numbers we use here and whatever dynos you're familiar with in the UK. It won't take a big difference in calibration factors for errors in thinking as to what is possible and what is impossible start to creep in.

Hi,

Yes, always difficult to compare.

Especially since Stao uses a hub dyno which gives different results to roller dynos.

Also ramp rate etc.

Still my figure of 220RKW is in line what most folks report here.

Just my five cents ..

Cheers ..

My first turbo upgrade was from a stock 33 to a stock 34 turbo with the OP6 housing... With a tune and 10 psi (RB20 actuator) it saw anywhere from 190-207rwkw depending on the dyno. It's as close to stock as you can really get when you "upgrade". A high flow of the stock turbo would a step up from this.

Well not really, a little more top end. Although it has the larger rear housing Nissan revised the compressor wheel using a different composite material to help spool, as far as I know anyway. Noticeable difference from 34 unit to gt3076 but little response difference from stock 33 to stock 34, just a bit more top end and power was also helped by the extra psi.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
