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

    • 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.
