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:)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
