hi all

have a stock r33 turbo and read in a previous post one of the cheapest ways to have it hiflowed is to have a vg30det turbo exhaust housing and wheel put on it..

what other turbos would bolt up to it to give it an even greater flow?

im looking at cheap options and dont want to spend more than $600...

Nothing was mentioned about a wheel.

It was the vg30 turbine housing machined to suit the gcg rb25 450hp highflow turbo.

Fitting a VG30 exh. housing on the rb25 turbo will give you a little more top end, it simply bolts up and doesn't require any machining.

However, you will loose a little mid range, possibly loose average power also, this 'may' make the car accelerate slower even though its making more peak power.

It really should only be done in with a compressor and turbine wheel upgrade. Hence highflow.

$600 will get you nothing.

What power and mods do you have now?

Well thats a different story then.

Bolt the vg30 exhaust housing on the rb25 turbo for sure. It will shift the rpm band upwards where you actually use it. lol 2000-3000rpm acceleration sucks after awhile.

I plan to bolt the vg30 exhaust a/r on the stock rb20 turbo and give it a cheap tune to see how exhaust a/r affects top end power and the speed of the car.

At the moment I have to change up at 5000rpm or a shade over, thats 3 gear changes to 100km/h and also .5 of a second slower to 100km/h.

It really needs to rev more to take advantage of gear speed.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
