After heaps of small dramas i finally got my R33 gtst with GT-RS turbo running. Mods are as follows:

- 3.5' exhaust with CES split dump/highflow cat

- Blitz SBC/EBC

- oil catch can

- intercooler

- oil cooler (not fitted at moment due to leak)

- power fc

- running standard fuel pump, surge tank and bosch 044 pump.

- splitfire coils

- Z32 afm

- Unique Auto 1400kg 5 puck clutch

- 5.5kg lightened flywheel

Car produced 240rwkw at 1.2-1.3 bar, tuned by mark at MRC motorsport castle hill. Boost starts around 3500 and really kicks in at 4000rpm, goes hard till redline. All round this seems as a very good all round turbo. Will hopefully be running it at eastern creek this coming wednesday so will see what times i can get.

Other people producing similar power, just like to know what type of petrol consumption are u getting? i am still not yet finished my first tank but have passed half way and only done 70 or so km's, does this sound right?

Ahh no. Half a tank is 37 litres, that's 1.9 kilometres to the litre! Worst I see is 6 kilometres to the litre with 265 rwkw. Maybe it is just "new power syndrome" where the right foot always stays on the floor so the brain can experience the excileration. Maybe give it a few days for thje effect to wear off. If it is still 1.9 then maybe drop back and get the lambda sensor reconnected ('cause that's what usually gets left off) .:(

ahahaha my thoughts exactly.

It wears off when you start filling up once a day and realise that its a crock.

Some simple backyard calcs show that 240rwkw from this turbo is about all you will get with his current set up. Remember the original emissions cams, weak valve springs, inlet and outlet plenums are still used which means the breathing potential of the engine is not altered from a stock set up.

Typical 200rwkw rb25det needs 12psi. Add in 15psi of atmo pressure and your absolute pressure ends up being 27psi.

His car knocked out 240rwkw. Difference in power is an additional 20%. So it takes approx. 20% more absolute pressure to get that power if all other variables remain the same ie. Stuff mentioned above.

So we get 20% on top of 27psi which equals 32.4 absolute or ~17-18psi (1.2 bar) gauge.

Throw in your usual dyno corrections, tuning parameters, alignment of jupiter to the sun and there you have it. Although you might squeeze in another 10rwkw if you had a butcher for a tuner and didn’t mind swapping engines every year :D

Fatz just posted about an XR6 turbocharger.

Similar response, by the sound of it. good @3500rpm, madman @4500rpm

260-270kw before the squirters maxed out.

Can't wait for these to flood the used market. mmmmmmmmmmm !!!

I got similar power to boro with 230 rwkw @ 12psi so I'll race boro soon enough & we'll see how his car pulls! He should have some more torque @ 19psi :aroused: I wana see the dyno sheets!

The second i get my Power FC & Tune, z32, & Injectors my boost will be going to 18 - 19 psi too :headbang:

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
