Boyz and girlz of all ages, I have a quick question...

The Stock turbo on a R33 Skyline.. how good is it really.

How much boost can be reached threw it at a safe level and what steps are needed to do that?

a T3 turbo, is it a stright bolt on to the RB25DET?

the other day I turned the boost slightly up to 10psi.

sometime when i give it, the car sergues?? anyone knows whats up?

Thankx guys :cheers:

The stock turbo is prone to lamination on the exhaust wheel and can disintergrate but sayin that I dont know how many have done this or when it will occur.

With a stock intercooler 10psi is pushing the intercooler's flow rate and could/most probably be why your are getting surges.

To run high boost pressures you will have to upgrade the intercooler at least, if not your fuel system as well and a engine management system to do it properly. the last two struggle to run your engine at above standard settings and can result in detonation due to lean running.

As to the T3 I dont know but am interested to find out as I am looking for a bolt on higher flowing turbo.

search...

but yes t3 is the same size (same flange)

as for boost level have said this a few times now. A lot of us have been running 12psi for ages on stock turbo.

I have been running mine on 12 for 2 years.

r33, remapped 32 comp, exst, fmic, no idea of any internals, stock turbo

216wrkw last dyno. (tuning tool only)

Dont do it with stock everything else other wise you will get boost cut.

i got a Front mount cooler, just need to install it. I'm thinkin about a piggy back computer? apexi AVCR or a SAFC, will these help wit the mapin go the fule and air??

The safc will help with your fuel and air mix when tuned properly. See a reputable tuner. The AVCR will not map air and fuel it is a boost controller.

the fuel pump and injectors will do nothing, as it will be a waste of money.

Fuel pump if you are going to push more than 180rwkw out of it.

The surge will be it boost cutting. You'll find that even though you are running 10psi of boost, it'll either have a restriction somewhere, or you'll be spiking and hitting the boost cut (which hits at 12psi) and doing to good old rich and retard.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
