I might be interested later this year, if this offer still exists then. Haven't done any research into turbos though yet. I'd be looking at something good for a R34 GTT Auto. Something thats a good streetable turbo IE don't have to wait till 5000rpm till it makes good boost. Maybe even hiflo stock GTT turbo, not sure how this responds compared to stock 32/33 turbos but they are larger apparently.

You don't need to do any research.

These are the questions I need answered:

How much horsepower/kilowatts do you want? eg. 300rwhp/210rwkw or engine hp/kw

What are you using the car for? eg. Street/Drag or just Street or just Drag

When do you want boost roughly? eg. 2200/2500 or 2500/3000 or later

Do you want power early or late in the rev range?

What Mods you engine has or is going to have including computers or exhaust etc.?

Obviously, what car?

Intercooled? and is it large, small, medium?

Still running AFM or upgraded or no longer there?

Custom exhaust manifold or standard? (custom exhaust manifolds give you more options)

External wastegate or internal(limited to virtually 450hp)?

With this information I can give you a range of turbo's or just one that will suit your requirements. The more picky you are, the less range. eg:

if you want big horsepower: 5 or 6 decent turbos will suit

if you want big horsepower but want it smooth delivery at 3000rpm then it narrows it down to probably only one. There is a turbo to suit every request and any turbo can be modified to suit your needs.

So you give me info, I'll tell you what turbo/turbos will suit and you can do some homework on what I have given you and decide what you want.

How does that sound?

Answers:

RWKW? Enough to have a bit of fun on occasional track days.

90% street use

Boost @ 2500 rpm on but not dying above 6k

Early or late in range.. best average power from 2500 up

Stock standard R34GTT auto.

Thats why I said later on cos I'll need time to put on Full zorst, FMIC, EBC,

Fuel pump etc.

Internally gated sounds fine for what I want.

I expect <=250rwkw to be plenty for me.

Main issues for me are reliability and streetability/response.

You will probably be looking for something like what I am getting.

rated at 450hp, ball bearing. Easily capable of handling 300rwkw. Plus boost will come on full at around 2200-2600 depending on what level you wanna run. But should be able to get around 16psi at 2300rpm. And it will hold it through 9000rpm. Would cost you around $1700

i will answer questions for him as best i can:

As much HP for a tiny budget - doesn't have to be real crazy

Street use mainly

Boost aroun 2500-3k

Power Early in revs

blitz FMIC/3" exhaust, POD, boost controller

R33 series 1

Big BLITZ FMIC

Stock ECU/AFM setup

Custom dumps - 3" cat back

Main thing right now is he wants one that is almost exactly the same as stock 33 one - so just bolt on, attach current lines and away he drives..

No real budget right now - get me some prices on cheaper ones and expensive ones too - around the 1k mark

Not after massive power figures - just bigger than stock :D

Something to handle 450hp would be the same as above mentioned. $1700.

It doesn't really have a model number as such. It does but it is a custom made job by Garrett themselves. They make them to order.

If he just wants to hi-flow his one it will probably still set him back around $1300 depending on how bad he has damaged it.

All of these turbo's will bolt straight up to 33 manifold.

As I said before. The above mentioned turbo is a Garrett GT450hp ball bearing turbo. I can probably get something slightly smaller for around $1600 but they don't get much cheaper than that. Especially for BRAND NEW.

G'day Daniel,

I'm looking for a twin setup for my R33 GTR, along the lines or equivalent to 2530's.

What turbo's would you advise and how much?

The car is fairly stock, cat back, pods, and about to insatall a Power FC.

Then you will need the Garrett GT2530 twins rated at 500hp. As I said in the pm, they are available at 600hp and 700hp ratings also but this would not work effectively on yours.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
