Yes it's true. I use twin, low-mount T51R-SPL's on a bong-pipe manifold.

Can't believe I never saw this thread, Steve. Ya big goose. Now my secret is out, (well, to the 4 people that actually ever look at this section of SAU anyway).

mate someone swears that a hi-flow was put on ur car before u owned it.....

i give u credit on ur efforts and the fact that ur pushing so hard with ur current setup and running spectacular times....we soley rely on the information that you have provided us.....i just dont want to see others take ur path and be mislead because the information wasnt exactly true......

im not having a go at you....i just want to decifer whose spinning shit cause this is a pretty big ingredient to ur sucess if it was true....an easy reply would be "i have taken the turbo off and it is in fact standard"....OR " i havent taken the turbo off there could be some truth to it"....... so dont get so offended u dinky di gong bong boy :jump:

nv033,

The person who told you is missinformed....errrr spinning sh*t actually.

I owned the nitrous kit (parts of) that the car now runs before 2rismo bought the kit and I can tell you that my old GTS-T was quicker than my R32 gtr is once the gas was on. If you look at his times without gas they are on par with what some of the gtst stocker turbo owners have been getting with good tyres. I ran low 13's in my old gtst without gas, so the times are ok.

He is contributing to the knowledge base by recording his efforts for everyones benifit. He hasn't needed to go to boost over 13 psi because nitrous does the extra shove. With conservative boost there is no reason to 'need' a steel exhaust wheel in your turbo.

I have not had the exhaust dropped and seen the exhaust wheel.

I do know that George (previous owner) didn't change the turbo.

I do know that Paul G. (the original Australian registered owner and the guy who spent the majority of the money on it) didn't change the turbo or blow it up for that matter.

Unless the person you're talking to worked at SSS Automotive and snuck a free exhaust wheel upgrade onto a 2nd hand RB25DET motor they sold Paul when he popped the 1st motor, I think someone's spinning you some real powerful shit.

===========================================

Here's the whole story:

- Car arrives in Aus circa 1999.

- Big Boys Toys comply and register it.

- B.B.T. then sell it to Paul G who decides to circuit race the car in the Porsche club of which he is/was a member.

- Factory fuel pump shits itself at or around turn one at Oran Park Raceway - leans out motor and melts lots of interal goodies.

- Replacement motor is purchased from SSS Automotive in Sydney (as evidenced by the SSS barcode on the timing belt cover - anyone with one of their replacement motors will know what I mean.

- Motor fitted, tuned and raced by Paul until he sold it to George (two40) who, much like myself, couldn't afford to own it.

- Car sold to me in exactly the same condition and spec as when the replacement motor was originally fitted.

- Car raced by me ever since.

==========================================

The amazing thing is that if this person is fair dinkum, they're not really showing their talents as a turbo reconditioner/modifier as I am running within 1/10's of a mph of the other std turbo guys when I'm not using the gas.

Either I have, as you say, a steel turbine wheel that must be the WORST reco ever done on the factory Hitachi unit and makes it every bit as good as the FACTORY turbine

OR

It is stock as a rock and my times and mph can be explained by the use of gas and a SHITLOAD of practice and learning "on the job".

I'll let you all decide but it really is as simple as this: Using gas adds about 9mph to my T.S. taking it from about 107mph to 116-117mph. If I was running that speed through the traps in an LX Torana on slicks, I should be running 10.8 - 11.2.

At the end of the day, I have had more than 80 passes at WSID this year and as per previous posts i've made, my results have gone from less than spectacular to something I'm quite proud of.

Thankyou.

Adrian

Mate, 'someone' who thinks they saw 'something' in a magazine counts for very little. Especially considering the 'someone' I may or may not be referring to. Burgundy R33 GTS-T's are as common as dog-shit and you know it.

4 Door Green GTS-T's aren't however - so if you see one getting chopped on the freeway....well......it's probably you ;)

the thing that gave it away was ur bonnet....im pretty sure no other burgandy gtst has it....its pretty unique in that sense....

quote from Mr Spin Shit "Ive seen that ugly bonnet before....isnt it that whiteline car?"

i replied..."his a mate....beleive it or not his turbo is standard...his ran a 11.9 with gas"

Mr Spin Shit "Bullshit its standard the turbo was sent away to gcg to get rebuilt"

i replied" with what...could it be one of those stage upgrades they do?"

Mr Spin Shit "not quite sure"

I replied " Really?...i dont think his had the turbo off before...could be some interesting news"

:confused:

GO FIGA!

From what I here, GCG do better work than upgrading standard turbos to make them exactly as good as a stock standard one so I'm not sure what he's getting at?!?! Jealousy's a curse, mate. I say fu(k him.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
