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..

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
