Fitting R33 turbo on a RB20DET

[Joe]

Hey all,

Im on a quest to reach 230rwkw on my rb20det & see how far it can go without me changing the engine internals.

I am wondering what gains would i get to switch over to a R33 Turbo as i have heard its a stright bolt on mod, is this true?

what are the gains that i can expect from it, when will it run out of puff, 190rwkw or so or even less then that, and also what boost can i run with it?

I have heard that the series 1 R33 turbo are steel wheel & the series 2 are ceramic, is this also correct?

At the moment my R32 is at 155rwkw on 11psi without my Power FC tuned & should expect 170rwkw or so depending on injectors as it looks like its almost maxed out

The R33 turbo wont be on my car for too long untill i can save up enough money for a Garret GT30

Cheers,

Joe.

I have an r33 turbo on my rb20 the most you can expect is aorund 180 rwkw if your chasing 230 rwkw do as fatz says and save for something bigger cause you wont get there with that also these are good for 1 bar and all types are ceramic.

On a side note does anyone know how far you can take an RB25DET turbo on a high flow rebuild? What sort of power could you expect from a maximum performance rebuild of one of these guys?

450 + hp Ihave beenquoted by gcg and other places do it as well so they are pretty good .

Not cheap to do though if you want a ballbearing center 2k+
