Help choosing a new turbo.

Hey Everyone,

So as the title says i need some advice on what turbo i should go for my build. the power goal i have in mind is 250-260rwkw. The car is my daily so i am looking for responsive power and as little lag as possible.

The choices i have narrowed it down to so far.

High flowed turbo  R33 or R34 from what i have seen the high flow r33 turbo will get the power levels i want but seems to spool up 500rpm before the r34 turbo.  is the ball bearing char worth getting ? what is the advantage of it ?

Hypergear ATR43SAT , same as high flow is it worth getting a ball bearing char ?

Is there other choices out there for what i want ?? i have looked at a gt3071r but they are on a bit of the expansive side.

The simple thing to tell you is that all your questions have already been posted about on here a million times.

The next simplest is to tell you that for your power goal a 21U highflow will be fine.  BB centres make it spool faster (less resistance to spinning up, basically).  ATR43SAT would be somewhat over-rated for your goals.  They can make that little power, but they can make a lot more.

Highflow standard will get you there

Read up! :)

Get a good intercooler, many skimp on this and wonder why they hit bottle necks.

If budget is a concern, look at the HDi GT2 FMIC Kits for Skylines. Decent yet budget friendly, although don't expect Plazmaman performance or quality.

My power goal is 250-260kw.

on justjap there is cooling pro inter-coolers, they are very budget from the price i am guessing. I've read mixed reviews about them some people saying they are running fine on high power, others saying the pipes don't line up the best.

I've being looking at a blitz return flow, but also read mixed reviews them being return flow.

what makes HDi or Blitz better then the cooling pro intercooler ??

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
