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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
