Hey Guys from the other side of the Globe :-D

i`m not as new as it seems but it`s my first post / thread and post here and i hope you`ll not beat me for that question... Well, i own a ECR33 since 2010 and i`m on the way to build my second engine for over 500hp. I`m hunting for 500-550 engine hp so i guess thats about 305-315rwkw... prerequisite for my build is..

- IT MUST BE BOTTOM (LOW) MOUNTED prefered IWG and Journal Bearing in case of wear ^^

I`ve found like a lot people here the maker KINUGAWA and it seems they have good stuff especially these are build on MHI chargers or Garrett...

So i thought the right Turbo could be a TD06H 25G because it`s +- the same size (wheels) as GT3076R... But will the TD06 fit in with aftermarket or OEM low mount manifold??

PLEASE ADVISE ME THE RIGHT TUBBY!^^

Yes any TD06/GT30 and equivalent precision etc can be low mounted without too much hassle. Will need a T3 manifold spacer for front housing clearance on the exhaust manifold though. Cracking 300kw at the rear wheels low mounted with a reasonable stealthy setup is no issue nowdays.

I have heard that all Kinugawa turbos have issues with internal gate setup. I have experienced it twice firsthand so dont really want to recommend them. Externally gated they are fine. But what I suggest is a Hypergear ATR43SS2. It is a true bolt on turbo with hardly any modification required and will make the power no worries. No issues with the internal gate either.

What fuel will you be using?

thanks for you super fast reply :-D

i`ll use BP 98 octan / RON

Ou what i`ve forget to mention...i would like to have at least 550Nm at the wheels ^^"

Here`s my spec...

RB25det with aftermarket equal length low mount manifold (T3 flange)

- Head: channels smoothed but not really widened and standart valves and lifters, maybe tomei pon cams

- Block: Wiseco 87mm Pistons, RB26dett shot peened rods...with 1.1mm MLS HG (compression ratio was i think about 8.5:1)

- ARP bolts for Head and Rods

- N1 Waterpump and N1 oilpump maybe with Reimax internals...will see ^^"

- don`t know about the Bearings..if Nismo or ACL...

- Exhaust: 3 inch downpipe, 200cpsi Metall Cat, HKS Super Drager

WHATS EXACTLY THE ISSUE WITH THE KINUGAWA I-GATES? Are these too small?? Possible to widen them?

Your clearance may or may not work depending on the manifold you have, as it isn't a stock one..

But with a standard manifold you can fit a 3582 down there. My car has a GTX3076R but doesn't actually need a spacer at all to get it to fit.

Going to depend entirely on your non-stock manifold though, would have to test fit or take measurements as that kind of changes everything..

XD engine isn`t build...most parts are still in boxes so...it`s not possible to show you the engine with the manifold fitted.

heres a ebay link that shows the manifold... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-Skyline-R33-RB25DET-Turbo-Exhaust-Manifold-T3-MF6205-/190481976244?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c599c4bb4

i`ve bought mine second hand and i`m not sure if it`s exactly the same but as far as i know it should be the it..

Still have a stock manifold but when i can push few horses more with a better flow manifold i will do that ^^" If it`s not possible to fit with China manifold i`ll take the Nissan one :-)

Important for me is that it looks stealthy! the Turbo should be as small as possible and big as needed to reach over 300rwkw/550Nm at maximum 20psi. i`ve heard and read that the stock valvetrain is suffering when boosting over 20psi...is that so?

yes i know about the cheap china stuff but...it was used about 10000km so i hope the critical time which was prone to crack is over and the material is now ready for a real manifold life. btw. i will weld some reinforcement struts from flange to flange...to minimize the load on die piping...

more interessting is...how good these manifolds are in case of flow? O.o

So long as you like it.

I wouldn't touch it.

Is that your stock manifold? What's going on with cylinders 4,5 and 6? Did the engine die?

Edited by Ben C34

no no it`s not died :-D

I hope I will never have to experience how my motor dies..

In my R33 still lives the first Engine and it runs pretty well but i`m sure it will not live forever and because it`s old and i don`t know about his life before ME i`ve decided to buy a second RB25det to built it and make it as proof as possible for my budget and the power. The first engine which is still running i will overhaul then...will be as new from factory :-)

So i have now a completet engine in boxes thats why i was able to make a Pic of both manifolds.

Is the oem manifold not restrictive compared to china?

Oh and.. i bought 2 years ago a RB25det with a strage damage...the owner had no idea what was wrong...

Car was STOCK only a catback and HKS mushrom. At Autobahn 120km/h 5. Gear the engine made BANG and run like a sack of nuts... I`ve bought it unopend for 280,-

As i opend it and pulled out the Crank 1 piston was still in a Cylinder ^^"

Don`t know how or why but the 1. zylinder Rod has given up his Job...the Piston was cracked and Rod was a 2 piece thing...well..piston was not in 2 as well...relly bad stuff in the Sump.

Zylinder not repairable i guess...for sure it must be rebored over 87mm...i doubt 88mm would be enough :-( Crank also destroyed...must be grinded a lot and i`m sure that makes it not better for more torque..

There is an extend for either of the manifolds listed above, its obvious the aftermarket manifold managed to make more power on less boost.

Pink is using factory exhaust manifold,

Thick red is the Made in China manifold that cracked after this dyno day and binned.

Thin red is an properly made Brae side mount manifold, that is still going strong over 100+ dyno days.

Turbocharger used is an Older version of ATR43-SS2 turbo that is internally gated and direct bolton to factory manifold, dump pipe, water lines and oil drain. From memory E85 was used for this particular experiment.

And of course either of the manifolds are comparable to an proper high mount running 50mm external gate.

Exact same turbocharger, no other changes apart from an proper high mount and 50mm gate.

Latest result from current ATR43SS-2 internally gated bolt-on to stock exhaust manifold and factory dump pattern running p98 fuel can be found here.

In terms of the largest bolton or low mount turbocharger, we can build them way over 700HP. Except this type of log manifold and internal gated system can not discharge that much air that satisfy full compressor efficiency. So 300rwkws or around 500HP would be the largest recommendation if you are looking for a direct bolt on turbo.

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
