i'm new to this forum and am hoping that someone will be able to tell me if up gradeing the turbo to one that still will bolt straight on is a good idea? i own a 94 gts-t with a 3inch exhaust heavy duty, brass button clutch pod filter aftermarket bov and a boost tap. soon i will have a front mount....when i know how to bolt it in and an aftermarket ecu. my quest for more power never ends.

can anyone help!!

Whats the biggest turbo i can fit with out doing major engine mods ?

u can have a 3037proS which should support around 300rwkw and bolt on to stock mainfold.

other than a Power FC.

u will need a thicker head gasket, bigger fuel pump, injector too.

maybe some cam and cam gear to give a bit more adjustment.

not to forget some body brace to strengh up the body for the extra power.

Dude 300rwkw,man your motor wont be able to handle it for to long.

A head gasket is a bare minimum upgrade for some when going into 230-250rwkw territory.Not to mention fuel pump,550cc injectors (are optional pending on duty cycle),power fc or similar,intercooler,full 3'' turbo back exhaust,boost controller.

Good rubber and good suspension will see good use of this power.Brakes are supposed to be okay at this power but i would also consider that if you were going to go to a track with that much power go a brake upgrade.

A high flow is a popular choice of upgrade,hks 2530 is supposed to be a good upgrade for stock internals.

I say if you are serious about this don't venture far away from the high flow horsepower ratings when choosing a turbo.Mix certain combos to get a better flowing motor to complement the turbo i.e.extractors,cams maybee a match ported & polished head etc..

Cams are considered good because they reduce the dynamic commpression in the engine and as an alternative to cams you could use a exhaust cam gear for a better tune.Either will give a better mid range power output but the cams will give more.

3037 turbo and 300 rwkw forget about it.Im not saying it cant be done it can.Just the motor wont last long at all no matter what way you look at it.For this a rebuild is definently recomended.

Ask others what they have done with their turbo combo to go with it.

As for turbo choices There is a rb25 turbo upgrade thread it should give you a better idea of what choices you can make.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
