Dont the R34 turbos have nylon turbine wheels hence can only run 10psi max?

Thanks

It's not about the compressor wheel. The exhaust wheel goes.

Also my cat was not damaged at all and although I did drive home it was blowing a truckload of smoke so I guess some seals got broken when the wheel let go.

The R33 turbos have the same ceramic exhaust wheel as the R34 ones.

From what I read the R34 turbine housing is slightly larger than the R33 one. Do you think this helps the R34 turbo to shit itself easier due to more hot exhaust gases. Or do you think the bigger exhaust housing is irrelevant.

Would fitting a VG30DET exhaust housing to an R33 turbo be a good little upgrade? I believe this housing is the same as the 34 housing?

I guess its not really a good upgrade if you have to pull your turbo off to do it.

Whatwould you expect - 10-15kw gain from the bigger housing?

Yes, you can fit the R34/VG30DET turbine housing to the R33 Turbo, but you wont really pick up that much.

You have run out of compressor flow well before changing the exhaust housing will have any effect.

However, should you change to the R34/VG30DET housing AND get it all high flowed, then you can pick up some serious gains.

Do a search on "Hybrid Turbo" and you'll find that a guy fitted the VG30DET housing to his R33 turbo which has been high flowed and he picked up masses of power. 25 kw top end and about 50k through the guts.

BASS OUT

Mine came over like this

i throught it was stock but it pushes way to much kws

iv heard 800 up to get them hi flowed

wen they go in japan some times they will do this and this only

save any more problems in the future but does not make a massive difference in power i can just run high boost

Miller..so yoiu think yours has just got standard ize wheels but just in steel?

If that was able to dish out about 210rwkw reliably I reckon that would be the go for me.

Have to call GCG to see how much it is. 10 psi seems to be the max for the standard turbo and 8psi on the track. Even then it could shit itself it sounds like.

With steel wheels you could probably run 12-13 psi. ANymore than that I guess you would get hot air.

I have turbo back exhaust + hi flow cat

front mount with plumb bac and pod

e boost 2

i run mine on 9.7 to 10 psi max

i have an auto and on 8 i pushed 245rwhp easy

when i get fuel system, shift kit and greddy e manage with ignision harnes i recon i will get at least that

before i got a boost gauge (eboost) i would run mine soo high i would get computer cut out but i never had any turbo problems so

no 1 has looked at it out of the car yet

if it would not cost me i would let people see it

spools soo quik i mean i can do a power burn out with no brakes some times

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
