hey !

just bought a t3/t4 turbo

just wondering with the bolt up of this turbo, as im goin to do this myself

and havent done this b4

is there any other things i have to worry about

oil lines etc

and with being able to have internal or external wastegate

which one would be most suitable?

i was thinkin of goin external,

being able to have a custom manifold, more flow and wateva

what max boost could i run

i have stock engine, goin to get a front mount and split dump pipe

done b4 i put it on

is there any good sites relating this too an r33 s1 ?

thanks for any help on this, be much appreciated

i suggest you get do some extensive research into this before you do any of this yourself as youve never done it before. it takes more than just bolting it on to make it run safe and efficient. Depending on whether the turbo itself already has an internal wastegate or not. if it has not got an internal then you will obviously need to go for an external which means a modified manifold will be needed. also depending on the flange size on your turbo whether the standard manifold can be used or not. The standard sized flange is a t3 flange but dont quote me. piping, exhaust, boost, injectors, management, wastegate are just some of the things you will need to look into. upgrading a turbo usually means modifying oil and coolant lines aswell.

thanks for the reply, and i guess i wont be doin this as soon as i thought

i'll do intercooler and dump first off, also will have to check out prices for custom manifolds

and a wastegates,

and someone that will be able to do all the lines and whateva.

what power output will, or should be able to come from this

say if i ran 14psi, stock engine, 3 1/4 exhaust, pod

considering i will have custom mani, external wastegate and split dump

the turbo is a stage 3 hybrid t3/t4 wet floating ball bearing

brand new !!

thanks for ya help ryan!

out of interest how much was the hybrid turbo?

What are they like?

I just put a Hybrid FMIC on my R33 and it looks tuff and lets me up the boost quite safely. Im happy with it and have noticed a difference in it.

Are the turbos they make good as well?

Do some reasearch and find out weather the new dump pipe will suit your needs.There is no use getting this one and having to get a new one for the t4 turbs.

If the turbo needs an external wastegate then you will need a proper exhaust manifold to house the turbo and external wastegate and a new dump pipe anyway,that will have your wastegate plumbed in.

More than likely you are going to need a new exh manifold anyway you look at it.

With the steel wheels on in you can run good boost.

What version of this turbo did you buy?What was the hp rating of it?Was it an external (ex) or internal (int) gate???

A wastegate that vents to the atmosphere on a road registered car is a defectabled one.

all i know its a stage 3 t3/t4 hybrid turbo

500hp capable of 25psi

we floating ball bearing

.50 a/r compressor

.63 a/r turbine

.57trim

5 bolt exhaust flange

3" inlet diameter

2" outlet

1/8 npt oil inlet

can be used int or ext wastegate

710 bucks brand new

I dont know how to install one of these turbos.But try to contact the person that you bought it from and see if they know.

Basicallly all you need for the install is turbo,dump,water and oil lines braided,because i dont think stockie items will line back up.And a new inlet pipe made from aluminium or mild steel.

If the turbos exh housing has a t3 flange then it will bolt back up to the standard exh manifold.A T3 flange is what all rb25det's have.

FYI:The turbo will only support internal gate on it's own or external gate on it's own not both.The stock turbo in the pic is internal gate.If u need an external gate then you will have to plumb in the external wastegate from the manifold.Most go for a completely new manifold that allows for the wastegate.

But some go for a spacer in between the exh manifold and turbo exh with a pipe plumbed from the spacer from the wastegate.Meh.

Here is a pic of the stock turbo and it's 6 stud dump pipe flange pattern.:cheers: not good for a hybrid t3/t4 turbo to use for a stock dump.Have to get a custom one made:)

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
