IF you want performance, dont go near the 1970's design T04/T03 or any other hybrid

there are FAR better options on the market.

RB25 turbo is probably the best (and cheapest) upgrade.

Please search, this has been covered extensively.

And read here:

now now paul... thats a bit negitive....

a mate of mine put an Ebay T04e on his rb20det, but had some supporting mods, such as 3" turbo back exhaust, front mounted intercooler, puel pump, etc running 15psi i think it was

it was very good .. in that the power was good.. however lagg was a big problem.. turbo wouldnt be in action til approx 4400rpm +

which kinda sucked

it was like ... lag lag lag lag BANG!

depends what your after really

-Ruffels

well I am planning the basics like:

- Turbo back exhaust with hi-flow cat

- FMIC

- Fuel pump

my situation is that my turbo is on its very last legs and sqeeling like a pig. I need a new turbo but I dont want a normal RB20 one but im also on a budget.

if it is a garrett t04e then pending price it may be a good deal.

is it interal gate? or external gate?

as stated above if the car is stock putting a turbo of that size on ur car is extremmely pointless, thou if you buy the turbo and then buy all the supporting mods it would be ok

to run the turbo you would need a bare min of

:intercooler (larger than stock size - FMIC)

:turbo back exhuast (3 1/2inch or bigger)

:Aftermarket ecu (pfc etc)

:Larger injectors (size depending on final power goal)

:Larger AFM (z32)

:Air-filter

:larger fuel pump

now that is just the engine side, of course you would need to upgrade ur clutch, suspension, tyre size etc etc

cheers michael :(

even at $400 it is pointless and will just be extra laggy for no gain.

you only have a budget to suit 250hp so whats the point of using a 500hp turbocharger. get a second hand rb25 turbocharger for $400 and it will be heaps better and more usable. youll have more average power too, making the car faster overall. i would also recommend a remap

how much roughly is a remap, injectors (probably used) and a AFM (used too)?

thanks paulr33....I see wat your saying. The turbo is actually $350....but i see overal wat you are saying.

Anyone selling a R33 turbo in good nick for $350?

check the for sale section, there is usually 1 or 2 2nd hand rb25 turbochargers for sale. you wont need injectors + airflow meter for 250hp which is a realistic budget based on your budget. a remap will cost you around the $400 mark. the car should drive significantly better with an rb25 turbo, boost controller and remap

Thats a KKR480... well it looks like one and has the same specs from me reading it :P

How on earth, without a link to the ebay item, and from the posts in this thread...

Have you come to think its a KKR turbo we are talking about here?

I dont get it.

Anyway, a 500hp turbo on RB20, as stated pointless.

Especially if you dont plan on injectors, ECU etc etc

Your best bet is an RB25 turbo, or then upgrading to a HKS 2510 or similar.

In short, stay away from ebay. Its more hassle than gain in many case

i have a similar question, i have an RB20, with full 3inch turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Fuel pump, ECU running on MAP sensor (no AFM).

i have been offered a stainless steel mainfold and brand new ( he has receipt) T04E/T3 with .67 AR.

how would this go on my motor? or should i just grab the mainfold and get a RB25 turbo too?

well that depends on what mods you have, when you expect boost to come on and if you care about reliability or not

there are several warnings, over and over about cheap ebay turbo's.

if you choose to ignore them and still thing its good cos its cheap go for it. but you've certainly been warned

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
