Got my turbo installed today by my mechanic (Barry from Performance Jap specialists). JPC turbocharging built a high flowed unit for me, Sierra s3 exhaust wheel with t4 front wheel and machined housings. Also a plain bearing core.

Got it installed today with a new Walbro 255 l/h fuel pump. The old turbo had suffered bearing damage and the wheels were doing some machining of there own ;).

After driving it I was completely amazed. No big suction noises coming from turbo, just a clean soft whistle and there was a fair bit of lag. You drive along and when it hits about 3700 rpm all hell breaks loose and its like its been kicked. In 3rd, it breaks traction so violently on the run, its scary. Im getting used to it and I dont really mind it, it reminds me of driving my old school starion that had lag then the kick! My last 3 cars have had ballbearing turbos so I forgot what lag was all about.

After 3700 rpm it pulls like a train and in a blink of an eye its past the redline.

Managed to go to Rajab dyno day and get a reading, pulled 208 rwkw on 12 psi. Was incredibly happy with this, I dont want to go overboard on boost since im running only a remapped management. Im also only running a STOCK DUMP PIPE!!

Im completely happy and satisfied with how the thing performs now, its totaly different and much quicker. Looking forward to gettin the Link installed n tuned along with injectors.Got a mental split dump with screamer but the flange was different and I didnt want to hack up my Nismo Downpipe, so Im getting a custom one fabricated.

Congrats on the upgrade, good to hear you are happy ;)

But i have to agree with INASNT; till you prove me wrong and take me for a spin ;).

I have 235rwkw and i never break traction in 3rd, on the run. 2nd is a different story, just ask Shivam, Adz and Pete ;)

I have Dunlop SP8000es 265s on 10 inch Advans.

They did 2 sec flat 60" ft at heathcote. As I said it is a fair bit laggy so when it hits it hits hard.

The suspension is currently standard due to me waiting on a NEW set of coilovers.

My freinds 33 has a powerFC and exhaust, dump, cooler usual shit stock turbo and made 209 rwkw. You cant judge how fast a car is just by a reading of its peak power.

Last nite I left him by 8 carlenghts, on numerous occasions. Dont wanna start a war with you people Im Not a dyno queen, theres other ppl out there with a lot more power than you. I enjoy using my car for drags, but mostly drifting - Ive seen people out there that have a lot of power and cant drive there cars for shit.

Im very pleased with the minimal outlay of $$$ ive spent on getting my turbo and fuel upgrade.

Thanks guys!

I got the turbo for a real good price, JPC is one of my customers so he looked after me. I watched it being assembled as well. If anyones interested in a turbo from them, let me know.

As far as management, Im still thinking, Ive seen a few skylines with links that are producing decent power, I would love a PFC, but when it comes down to it, the PFC isnt that much cheaper in the end. Im content with it now!

Went on a cruise with it today, my uncle in his 993 Porsche 911 turbo and mine, we had a awesome cruise up to Gembrook, on some nice twistys, the car was feeling solid and the turbo came on nice and strong. I love the twisty stuff!

I will get a pic of it during the week to put up.

Also to note, this figure was achieved with a stock dump pipe and a stock R33 Cat.

Those upgrades should yield a healthy power increase. When computer and injectors are on it will be even more interesting.

on the graph it goes up smoothly then hits with a power jump and keeps rising.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
