what i would like to know is the specs on this turbo

and how it would perform on a rb20 if possible as they told me the r33 and 32 hiflows differ

or even when it hits full boost..??

called GCG and supposedly they didnt know specs!?!?

thanks

We had a GCG ball bearing high flow on an RB20DET (170,000 ks' old), made 225 rwkw at 1.3 bar with 1 bar at 3,000 rpm, no boost drop off till 7,500 rpm, made good power to 8,250 rpm. Highly recommended.

:P cheers :)

yes but the RB20 and RB25 compressor housings are going to perform differently.

so if you use an RB20 turbo instead of an rb25 to start with you will have boost earlier but peak earlier...

Correct, but the difference is not dramatic, I don't think it would be more than 250 rpm later to 1 bar with the R33/RB25 turbo. The R34/VG30 turbine covers wouldn't be my choice, another 500 rpm or so I reckon.

:D cheers :D

Let me think;

POD, heat shield, substantial air feed

Performance metalcraft split dump

3.25" Nismo exhaust

No cat

OS Giken twin plate with flywheel

No HICAS

No aircon

Electric fan

Power FC with BCK

Castrol 10W60 oil

Oil cooler

Optimax

NGK copper plugs

One full day tuning on the dyno (plenty of time spent around the boost build rpm)

All on a 170,000 k's old RB20DET, that showed OK leak down figures for its age

:( cheers :P

i only made 254 hp at the wheels with stage 2 r33 hiflow turbo. This was on an auto r32 mods:

pod

3inch exhaust no cat

FMIC

z32 AFM

gtr injector 040 fuel pump

Have had the standard computer chiped (Romed)

Oh and mine is very laggy

i almost made that power with just an rb25 turbo..

get your car looked at i think

I agree.. i have an auto r32 with rb25 highflow (not gcg however) and checked today the revs vs boost, and its making 12psi (tubotech controller) by 3800rpm.. without any proper tune. No idea of power at the moment.

Tune coming tuesday for some figures.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
