Hi daniel, can i trouble you for your opinion??

How much horsepower/kilowatts do you want? suitable up to 230rwkw

What are you using the car for? street / drag / track. Reliability is a big issue (i use my line to drive all over sth est qld for work)

When do you want boost roughly? eg. 2200/2500 would be ideal but not run out of flow before 6000 minimum

Do you want power early or late in the rev range? - bit of both if thats possible.

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

3.5in turboback exhaust, r34gtt cooler, power fc (to come), walbro pump (to come)

Obviously, what car? 94 series 1 r33, manual.

Intercooled? and is it large, small, medium? see above (r34 cooler)

Still running AFM or upgraded or no longer there? stock / z32 one at later stage

Custom exhaust manifold or standard? standard - willing to go adaptor or custom manifold depending on whats cheaper/ easier

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

Could you give me some recommendations?

Also, what would be the approx cost all up?? (braided lines, external manifold/adapter if necessary and rough cost of a workshop to do labor).

ideally my budget would be less than 2500 installed.

Hope you can help with some info :P

It is very hard to retain such an early boost and still achieve high results. It sounds as though you are aiming for a highflow. I'm not too sure that th 34 cooler will do you any favours at 230rwkw but it should be ok. The higflows typically come on boost around 2800 and hold past 7000....you can expect to see full boost around the 3500 mark. The R33 highflow is reliable to approx 380-400hp so it will be the best package to do what you want it for. You won't need to change any of the lines or hoses...it will all just bolt straight back on in place.

Highflow is still $1800 depending on condition. Meaning it could go down to $1750 or up to $1850...but usually they stay at $1800. I charge $200 to remove and refit the turbo as long as you are in Brisbane somewhere.

There are other options with adapting a turbo to fit but the costs are usually not represented in the overall result compared to a highflow. For $2100 I can graft the exhaust housing of your turbo to the back of a GT30R which will still net you fairly early boost figures, you get the twin ball bearing cartridge as well. This would cost another $150-$200 in braid lines and roughly another $200 in intake modifications. Not the right setup for you though.

Hope I haven't confused you at all....just PM me if you have any other questions. or email at [email protected]

no wasn't looking to get 230rwkw just wanted the turbo to support around that much as a minimum. Once i wound the boost above say 15psi i would definatley change coolers,

anyway pm sent :P (actually pm sending..)

My RB20 Hiflow was capable of that horsepower figure.

At 17 PSI I put out 218 RWKW.

That 300 hp is roughly what they are rated to when hiflowed. It doesn't mean they are not capable of 450hp it just means they usually only last 12 months like that.

With your other question, the same turbo I am putting on mine would be a bolt on. It's a ball bearing turbo and rated at 450hp. usually 50hp higher can still be achieved SAFELY though. Plus being a BB turbo it will spool hell quick and will outlast a highflow RB25 turbo anyday, and for roughly the same price maybe a couple hundred more.

which turbo are you putting on?

Umm, that was a while ago now.

I ended up going for the GT2876R but altered the stock manifold to suit it, relocated the AFM and re-did some of the intake plus braided lines....all in all wasn't too much of a drama. The hardest part was adapting the T3 dump to the T25 housing.

How much are they going for and how much do you think it would cost to get a mech to do what you did(Im in vic so couldnt get you to do it)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
