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.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
