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.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
