Turbo Upgrade

[ma$e21]

i have purchased a 1990 r32 gst-t and was wondering what is a better turbo to upgrade from the standard one the R33 TURBO OR THE R34 TURBO because i am after around 160-180rwkw.

1. is it a straight bolt on or does it need to modifyed?

2. would i have to tune the ecu if i change to any turbo?

3. what are the names of the r33 and r44 standard?

4. i know that the r33 turbo is ceramic is that the same with the r34?

5. how much are they worth second hand?

thanks for any help guys

quick , just to annoy the mods before they lock the thread i will contribute to this senseless waste of time

1. bolt on

2. no but it would give more power to have some form of programmable management to make the most of the turbo

3. huh?

4. yes . and the compressor wheel is nylon making it even more fragile

5. price and condition varies greatly

He means what is the identification number of a R33 or R34 turbo.....

i.e. on a S15 the turbo is a T28 (ball bearing most of the time)....

Am interested aswell so help would be appreciated.

1. is it a straight bolt on or does it need to modifyed?

staight bolt on

2. would i have to tune the ecu if i change to any turbo?

remapped ecu would be fine. $500 ish

3. what are the names of the r33 and r44 standard?

they are hitachi turbochargers, 45v2 is the r33 one

4. i know that the r33 turbo is ceramic is that the same with the r34?

r33 is ceramic, r34 is nylon

5. how much are they worth second hand?

$400+ ish

there is nothing in the first post that cant be answered by the search button, or reading some of the sticky threads in this very section.

Turbo ID tag #'s have been covered 100's of times.

thanks

you dont need to re map the ecu

It has been shown that the 45v2 and variants has no relation to which model the turbo is from. (eg R33 or R34)

The compressor wheel in the R33 series one is steel, series 2 and R34 nylon. The exhaust wheel in all of them is ceramic.

so dont run more then 12psi or they break!!!!!!!!

I feel like a record with a scratch making it repeat.

[R31Nismoid]

and on that note, its closed.

its safer to use 10psi aswell
