Hey I'm new to sau, bought a series 2 R33 Gts-t and I'm wanting to high flow my factory turbo, I've looked through a whole bunch of threads but haven't really found any specific measurements for the diameter of the compressor wheel. I'm fairly sure the stock wheel is 49mm and I'm wondering how much bigger of a wheel can the housing fit? Also I'm unsure of the total height of it, if that makes a difference? Thanks heaps

I got a turbo highflowed by GCG about 6 years ago for nearly $2k.

Would choose Hypergear today (if I were in Aus - actually have a top turbo man locally) - continuous development, better prices, feedback.

What are your:

a) Goals (ie just a bit more top end power, whilst retaining some low RPM response)

b) Existing supporting mods

c) Budget

Goals power wise I'm looking for some 250+kW at the wheels.

Supporting mods, nothing at the present time apart from 3" cat back exhaust, pod filter, adjustable boost controller. However I do plan on buying splitfire coil packs and new spark plugs. As well as a new ECU, thinking of tuning it to run E85 but since I'm in canberra there's not many places to get it so I'll need it to be able to read both ethanol and octane.

Budget is around 2-3k willing to spend more, just need more time to save the money.

they are two of the main companies well known in skyline community which provides high flow service

there used to be a few more some years back, but they are either out of business or just stopped doing them

there's also precision turbo in Wetherill park NSW that does high flow as well. Having used high flow turbos from all three companies I personally prefer hypergear if you're chasing power on a budget, precision is also good as well but they do cost a little more for their ball bearing high flow, which gives a good balance between power and response,

good thing about hypergear is they are constantly R&D to improve their products like what GTSBoy said, their latest highflow design is a more competitive product than the GCG high flow I think

If you're replacing the turbo yourself, set aside around $1k for a turbo. The standard r33 high-flow from hypergear is a fairly proven item. I use one as well. Keep in mind you'll probably spend a few hundred more on gaskets and a new set manifold studs and nut kit. (might as well fix the manifold while the turbo is off)

Is your vehicle supported by nistune? If not then you are looking at an aftermarket flex-fuel capable ecu. The cheapest would be an adaptronic e440d. Even if you get that at a good price, with the accessories (air temp sensor, ethanol sensor, loom) you wont have any change from $1.5k

Then factor in +$1k for a GOOD tune, where the tuner has paid attention to partial throttle drivability and fuel consumption. That would be a single tune on one fuel, that wouldn't be a flex tune with runs on 98 & e85.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
