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.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
