Hey guys looking for some help picked up myself a clean r33 gtst s2 another a month ago my first turbo car and looking at some upgrades so please suggest away current upgrades

Return flow fmic

Fuel pump unsure of spec

Coil packs

Turbo back exhaust looks to be 3.5 force

Manual boost T

K&n air filter

Items I have purchased for the car yet to be installed

660cc side flow injectors

Apexi power fc

Z32 air flow metter

Bigger turbo 430hp rated standed replacement

Now is there anything else I might need before tuning ?

My 2nd problem if anyone can help

Me the turbo I've brought is a straight bolt

Up to factory manifold with some hot side piping adjustment but the standed r33 turbo waste gate actuator has a vac line running to it but the new turbo I've got the actuator just has a line running off to the side intake of the turbo so what do I do ? Please help thank you

Me being a new guy to this forum (learning as I go, a few parts behind you). Your parts list looks fine. Use the turbo upgrade thread to compare parts/power outputs etc.

Basic mods lists have been asked a thousand times on this forum, so just make sure you do your research although i do understand myself being a new guy it's good to have confirmation from others.

Injectors may be the only thing i'd take more of a look at depending on the PSI pressure you'll run. Additionally you'll want to know the spec of the fuel pump so you're aware of what it can/can't handle.

Also maybe replace the manual boost tee with an EBC for higher boost? Others may be able to clarify a bit more on that one.

As for the turbo Q, can't help as I have an R34 and so far that's as far as my knowledge goes! Best of luck.

Post a pic of the turbo? If there is no actuator on it, it may be externally waste-gated.

My only suggestion is to sell the PowerFC and have a Nistune installed, probably cost around the same but you will have the ability to run a flex sensor/E85 down the track.

I think he's asking more about how he hooks up the wastegate control signal. When I saw this thread several days ago I couldn't be bothered with trying to read through the mush of that last sentence.

Perhaps some clarification of the exact meaning of the OP is required.

Thanks for your help guys already yes it's a cheap China turbo how do I upload a photo ? Yes it's a just a internal gate with the acuator on the front the problem is the acuator has a line running off it back into the turbo so where do I hook up the vac line to? And with the fuel pressure on the add they say at stock fuel pressure you can support upto 600hp more than I'm wanting! And yes have already brought tein coilovers are stock gtst brakes bad ? Thanks

Run vacuum hose between the barb fitting on the turbo front cover and the actuator barb fitting. Just post a link to the turbo you actually bought....if its 430hp on there my money is on it being a t3/t4 thing.

Do yourself a favour and get rid of that China Racing Development turbo, either flog it off to someone on Drift Sales or throw it into the bin...

that's the best advise I can honestly give you without being a total karnt.

That is the turbo yes guys I know it's not the best I don't drive the car on a daily basis or anything it's just to get me going for the next 6-12 months till I've got the money for something nice! And thanks smithbro! So just run a T piece on that hose ?

No T piece required. Block off the original vacuum hose that fed the factory actuator. Plumb the piping exactly as the picture in your link shows.

As stated China turbos aren't the best. But they do still work to a certain extent....I wouldn't be pushing it upto 20+ psi as per the ebay specs though.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
