Hey i am looking at upgrading my turbo and have a few questions. atm i have full exhaust, filter, and front mount.

I have been thinking about getting a r33 or r34 turbo and getting it hiflowed and put a steel wheel in it. (i think that is possible not sure)

Would this be a good upgrade turbo? and any idea on prices for hiflow job? there reason i want to get ones of these turbo's and hiflow it is that it would be more inexspensive than getting some aftermarket turbo as with them i would more than likely need custom oil lines and may have to get custom intake, dump pipe etc. Which mean a lot more money.

If i did get one of these hi flow turbo would gtr injectors and a good fuel pump be sufficent to run them? and if so what fuel pump do i need and appart from the injectors and a tune what else would i need?

Also any idea on the sorta power output or quater mile time you could pull with this sorta setup?

and lastly any more suggestions on turbo upgrade if ppl think this is a bad idea.

thanks

www.gcg.com.au - These guys Hi flow turbos and have a list of prices on their website. A good upgrade for an RB20 would be the RB25 turbo (off an R33 or R34) and hiflow it. I think from memory they can push up to 22PSI, i might be wrong.

If you upgrade your injectors you will need an aftermarket ECU, a good one that everybody uses is the Apexi PowerFC. If your gonna do that and run more boost you will prob have to upgrade your Air Flow Meter as well. a Z32 AFM is used most of the time.

For 1/4 ile times, with a hiflow, FMIC, egzorst and Air filter you should be able to get to a low 14 at least! Mabye even a high to mid 13 if your lucky.

Hope this helps mate!

after looking on that site i figure this turbo sounds like the best upgrade

XTRGTST-S1

The factory Turbocharger on a Nissan Skyline R32/33 GTS-T is a Ball Bearing, T3 sized unit, with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit, GCG replace the ball bearing pack with a new one, while replacing the Turbine wheel and Compressor wheel with larger steel wheels, making the Turbocharger Hi-Flowed. The upgrade Turbocharger bolts directly back on the manifold with no modifications required, using the factory oil and water lines. After the Upgrade, the Turbocharger is rated 450hp.

Turnaround: 2-3 days.

Price: $1950.00

would this be a good idea and would it get me good quater mile times as that is what i am after. or are there better cheaper turbo's out there

obviously ill get gtr injectors fuel pump and ecu remap to suit.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
