there are SO OOOOOO many thread on turbo choice here, and would like to get some peoples experience with turbos down here ...

I'm thinking of a new turbo in the next few months, and have read the whole high flowing v BB turbo threads ...

I'm in agreement with sydney kid about the whole useable power thing, and a turbo is absolutly no good to me if it does not come on boost until 4500 rpm ...

i'm looking for something to produce about 17psi psi, and start to come on boost at around 3 - 3500 rpm (ish)

I rarely touch near the red line, doing most of my hard driving in the 4-6000 rpm range ..

Its a S2 GTS-T with a hks pod, and turbo back 3", emanage is on its way ....

so what is the best turbo choice for this application ???

Well your not after a power goal or 1/4mile time etc from what i can tell with your first post.

If you want something that kicks alot harder than the standard turbo, pulls all the way to redline, and spools about the same as the standard turbo.. Then either go for;

Highflow

HKS 2530/40 or even 2835 if you want more power

Garret GT28R

Otherwise the GT30 would be great, although these are rated at about 500hp which means you need to upgrade a few things first, IE injectors, fuel pump, ecu etc but that comes with any new turbo

Check out GTS-t VSPECs graph in the dyno graph thread running now to see why.

I did and this is what I saw..........

Read that power graph carefully (note that it STARTS at 90 kph) and you will notice that it has LESS power up to 106 kph than a basically standard R33 GTST (refer 05YKO_r33 ‘s power graph in the same thread). By “basically standard”, it has an FMIC, 3” zorst (inc dump) and a boost controller, it has no fuel or ignition timing changes from standard and it runs a standard turbo. Ohh, it has standard injectors as well. :jk:

That means up to around 4,000 rpm it's gunna gets its ass kicked by a basically standard R33 GTST. :throwup:

Both power graphs are on DD's in Shootout Mode, just in case someone is interested. :wassup:

So tangO, personally I don't think this turbo is for you. :cheers:

From what youve said a descent highflow will suit your pefect,

They can be had for cheap, usually around $1500

And can be flowed anywhere upto about 400-450hp

Main advantage of highflowing is cost and easy of installing.. It goes on the same way it came off, no fabrications etc .. almost anyone can do it

You get the turbo back 100% brand new, every moving part is replaced and the turbo is even all shiny again :cheers:

Steve: Can u get a GT30 with an internal wastegate?

I worked it out as probably being in 3rd actually (21 kph/1000 rpm), but I shoudln't have to WORK IT OUT. It is supposed to be written on the Shootout Printout by the Shootineer. Hey Steve, isn't that a breach of the Code of Ethics? :Bang:

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
