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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
