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.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
