I HAVE A ENGINE BEING REBUILT NEXT WEEK FOR MY R33 GTS-T (LATE 1995). I HAVE ASKED FOR THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE ENGINE WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS FOR ABOUT $5600--$6000. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME IDEAS ON WHAT TURBO (NEW) WOULD BE BEST SUITED, IF MY STOCK ONE NEEDS REPLACING (IM CONSIDERING GARRET TO3/TO4)YELLOW, AND ANY OTHER MODS THAT SHOULD BE FITTED TO KEEP THE NEW ENGINE HEALTHY. EXISTING MODS ON THE CAR INCLUDE - APEXI (GT SPEC) INTERCOOLER, K&N POD FILTER, Z32 AFM, JASMA 3.5INCH EXHAUST - WITH 4 INCH TIP, BLITZ DUAL SBC EBC, (NEW) WALPRO 500HP/255L.P.H FUEL PUMP, NEW HKS SSQ B.O.V., ORIG- NISMO FRONT STRUT BAR, NEW CLUTCH, FULL GTR BODYKIT,18In LENZO ALLOYS, NEW BRIDGESTONE POTENZA SO3'S 235X40(FRONT) & 265X35(REAR). IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME ANY OF THEIR IDEAS ON THE ABOVE AND ON HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER/KW I MIGHT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE WITH THIS NEW ENGINE, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIAITED. PHOTOS TO BE POSTED SOON!

mate i had my engine rebuilt too and i went the hiflow t3/t4 currently with the microtech computer and 14psi i am pushing out a bit over 300hp at the wheels. I recomend getting a custom turbo manifold, i only have the standard one but am going to upgrade soon. u will however need bigger injectors and perhaps fuel regulator to cope with the increase in power if u are going to run a bit of boost. My turbo starts to spool at arounf 2700rpm and is a full bost by 3600rpm

hope this helps

im not the one to know the best internal stuff but you'll need an oil catch can and definatley at least 550cc injectors, fuel pres reg, id also recommend a custom manifold so it flows better than the stocky ones, im in the process of doin the internals so if anyone has good idea's that would help 2 of us...

cheers...ben.

Thanks mate, I think will go with 550 injectors and a fuel regulator and the manifold. I will have to shop around to find a good deal.

CHEERS, Chris

Thanks Davio, Can you give me a idea where to source a microtech computer and prices involved? I have located a Apexi power FC, but maybe something cheaper?

CHEERS, CHRIS

get the PowerFC.

And take it to RacePace to get it tuned. I would also suggest taking it there for the motor rebuild too if you aint already laid out cash

As for turbo, what power you want?

I'm running a GT30 (600hp) and making ~270rwkw on 16psi at the moment.

RB25 rebuilt with forgies, and GTR rods.

Thanks, I had a look for contact details for RacePAce in the yellow pages online, but couldn't find it. Can you help with the number/site? The engine dosn't start to be pulled out until next Friday and I am at the moment getting Cavehill Engine Services PTY LTD in Lilydale to do the build the engine as they have done a number of these engines and I was referred to them by a Turbo/dyno specialist. I will contact RacePace A.S.A.P

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
