Guys, I am looking to upgade my turbo. I've got these mods -

FMIC

Full Custom Exhaust (very good quality)

PowerFC

225 lph Fuel Pump

Stock BOV

Steel Turbo to Pod Pipe, Pod is Shielded

Standard AFM

Standard Motor, Turbo, and Manifold

Standard Injectors - and yes, I do know that I will need bigger injectors.

Car is making 210rwkw and 420 nm of torque. Goes very well. I've got a great tuner.

I want a 500hp Turbo to bolt straight onto the R33 manifold and dump, and want very little lag.

I was told a .63 exhaust housing will be good for that, but lacks top end if I am chasing 280rwkw plus.

I only want 250rwkw, but with lots of torque.

www.horsepowerinabox.com has this -

Garrett GT30 500hp ball bearing turbo

This is the smallest of the T3 style ball bearing turbo's that Garrett do. It has a T3 base flange and normally comes with a .82 external wastegated exhaust housing. As standard has a .70 compressor cover and Garrett dual ball bearing internals. Great for 2.5 and 3 litre 6 cyl road cars.

This unit can be supplied with a Nissan RB .63 Internally gated exhaust housing as a special order, providing a great bolt on upgrade... E-mail us about this. ** please allow 3-5 working days to manufacture**

Price:

$2,149.99

inc GST within Australia

has anyone used something like this, and if so, can you tell me what kind of RPM it starts boost, and hits 1 bar? Was the car drivable (I would assume so)

Mainly I want something that comes on fast and hard.

Let me know your thoughts.

Has anyone tried what HPIAB sell as a "GT28" or the Garrett GT25/40R turbo, or have any thoughts on them? I have been seriously thinking of getting one of those with a .86a/r turbine side with a T3 flange from ATP-Turbo in the US (US$1070) as it seems like a really good value for money (and not to mention cool looking) turbo which I figure would be good for my 250rwkw target with reasonable delivery.

I just spoke to the turbo dude in my home town here.

Says he can get me a GT30 for $1700 brand new, 500hp. Says if I get him a VG30 exhaust housing, he'll knock $500 off the price and put it on for me.

What size is a VG30? .63?

Is that referred to me or the GT30 question?  I've been searching on GT2540Rs and not been able to find anything :)

i was walking about the guy who started the thread... not the hi-jacker :crazy:

a .63 will make 250rwkw... sure, i was refering to the GT30. 82 is the mix

BOOSTD can you slap your dyno graph up again or give a link cause i cant find it and wanna have a look at it.

what is the RWKW you can get out of a GT30 turbo???? i have a VG30 exhaust housing and would like his name.

guys, another good question.

Can the RB25 Hitachi Exhaust Housing be adapted to a Garret GT30 core, and if it can, can it be machined out to a .63 size?

What sizr do they machine it out to when they Hi-Flo them?

Shit, if I could get the Garret Compressor Housing, Core, and Exhaust turbine, whack on a HiFlo'd Hitachi Exhaust Housing, then I wouldn't need a dump or manifold.

If he machined out the Hatachi Exhaust manifold, I'd certainly get him to increase the internal waste gate hole.

Sound liek a good idea?

would that be a bad mismatch?

It doesn't work like that.

 

When you machine a housing to suit you only machine out the hole for the exhaust wheel.

 

Do a bit of googling on the process of highflowing and or machining exhaust housings. :)

I wonder if the .48 housing adapted to the GT30 is a bad idea..

Trying to make 250rwkw..

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
