(Not my car) Boost curve will depend on what kind of boost control you have. For more results trawl though the RB25 turbo upgrade section at the top of this page. A number of people post with non-upgraded turbos...post-20742-1143423396.jpg

I was picking on your weird English.  Marvelling <> wondering.

But to answer the question....What are you trying to do?  If you are just asking about putting an OP6 housing onto an R33 turbo, and doing nothing else, then don't waste your time.  There's no point doing ANYTHING to stock turbos.

If you're talking about using an OP6 housing to build a highflow from.....then given that the only two parts that are kept when highflowing an RB's turbo are the comp and turbine housings, then what you're really asking is "what is the performance difference between an R33 and an R34 highflow?".  In which case there are a million bits of information available on here that already answer that question.  You should look at the Hypergear thread and his website to see what the difference is.

I think the most practical way to look at these OP6 Turbos is that the factory used them as part of a system to make better overall performance than the R33 RB25DET spec engine did . They made a completely new cylinder head and valve train , altered cam specs and changed the inlet manifold as well . Bore stroke and static compression ratio are the same . The bigger turbine housing they already had from the four cam single BB turbo VG30DET .

You should look up the standard power outputs for R33 and R34 spec RB25DETs and note the torque peaks but more importantly where they occur in the rev ranges . Don't quote me but I think with the R33 version the torque peak was up near 5000 revs where the R34 version was more like in the low 3000s . To me it looks like Nissan wanted more lowish and part throttle torque in the R34 engine and achieved that without a low turbo boost threshold or onset if you like . Things like higher air speeds through a slightly smaller runner diameter inlet manifold possibly with a smaller volume plenum chamber . Cams with a bit more lift and a bit less duration which would increase the cylinders trapping efficiencies .

When you can make more low end torque you can afford to raise the boost threshold with things like larger turbine housings - which have advantages higher up . You wouldn't achieve the same thing on an otherwise standard R33 spec RB25DET by only substituting the OP6 turbine housing or complete turbo . I imagine you would start to open a dip in the torque curve by having boost start later .

Nissan would have been looking for cleaner exhaust emissions for a late 90s car and I also think the R34 GTt may have been slightly heavier than the R33GTS25T .

Given a choice you would always start with an R34 engine but rebuilding an R33 with the R34 spec rods pistons and head should give the best of both . Staying with the R33 inlet means all the plumbing and most electricals can stay the same . From memory just need to rejig the CAS wiring and change cam solenoid plugs .

This is really only economically viable if your engine needs a rebuild or you can't quite justify an RB30 conversion .

Happy New Year!

Thanks for the input.

Background is that I have a new hybrid turbo with the 21U housing.

It's a prototype and for me to test.

 

Since I have an unused OP6 turbo I was 'marvelling' if there were any merits in changing the 21U for the OP6.

 

Picture one is Hybrid vs OP6

Picture two is OEM vs Hybrid

Hello,

I found the first dyno run I ever had with my (back then) standard GTST. Only mod was an installed boost controller to the standard turbo.

HP figure is at the engine. Torque max is at 3700rpm

So from what you're writing I understand that the OP6 exhibits more lag but this is offset by the different design of the head/runner/cams?

The current hybrid I have installed maxes out at 260RKW, I'm not sure but I suspect this is also due to the restrictive 21U housing?

(that's basically why I am looking at the OP6)

If you want a bolt on hybrid turbo Hypergear makes a number of great turbos. Have a read through his thread.

Yep, that's still an option ...thing is that I'm in the UK and postage/import duty would make things expensive.

At prices half that of some Garrett turbos freight and duties will mean they are still competitively priced and a lot of RB focused research has gone into them...

Personally I've never looked at a turbo that way...

OP6 is made for a Neo engine, and it has higher CPR, and more VCT cam angle.  Fitting that housing to a normal R33's high flow will result in an average of 500RPM worth of lag and increase HP by roughly 15kws.

PLUS....if that "hybrid" turbo is some sort of highflow, then the 21U housing should have been machined out to suit the larger turbine and there is no way you can fit the OP6 onto it without also machining it out.

PLUS, there is no such word as marvelling.

Yes, the housing would get machined to accommodate the larger wheel :)

Thanks Stao,

500rpm is a figure I can understand, not sure it's worth 15KW

From your experience what is the power limit for the 21U housing due to back pressure?

You don't have to convince me mate :)

I've been following Hypergear's developments for long.

Do you actually use it in that sense in the UK?  Because that's seriously f**ked if you do.  Marvelling (double L, because we can at least agree on the correct English spelling if we're not dealing with retarded Americans) implies that the thing you are looking at is a marvel, something weird, strange or otherwise non-comprehensible.  Like looking at a circus freak.  When you are trying to work out how to do something or how something works......that's wondering.  At least in the English usage that we use.  Is marvelling something that is used in your part of the UK?  Just your subculture?  The whole place?  Note that I'm not unfamiliar with the UK, I've spent a bit of time there.  Never heard it used in that way.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
