i have an series2 r33 rb25det

the following is the selection of modification components that i am in the process of purchasing

i am just after opinions as to turbo selection in this setup

i am not chasing massive top end power, just a well tuned, quick streeter. i consider a quick streeter around mid 12's

- sustec pro coil-overs

- bridgestone potenza's on 17inch work rims

- apexi pod

- hybrid fmic

- full exhaust - split dump - 3inch front pipe - 3inch high flow cat - HKS 3 inch system

- hks ssqv

- apexi avcr

- sard FPR

- Denso performance pump (rated around 300l/ph)

- inlet plenum (possibly bigger throttle body)

- 550cc injectors (considering high flowing standards???)

- apexi power FC

- stainless low mount manifold

- gt30r ( this is where i need opinions. should i retain the standard t3 flange or go for a bigger option?) also what other turbo's have the capability of performing what im after. also would it be an option to externally gate it with a screamer pipe or best not to????

thanks

Your on the right track but you could save a few $$$ and buy other things..

- apexi pod = K&N panel filter in the standard air box (no defect)

- hks ssqv = waist of money! keep the stock BOV

- apexi avcr = PFC boost kit instead or even a $35 turbotech will be fine up to 18psi

Use the SEARCH button... there are 100's of threads regarding this topic

Cheers

Edited by QRI05E

you wont need all that stuff

dont need :

plenum or Throttle body

sard FPR

low mount manifold - std would be fine for that typeturbo/power

GT30R, will still be laggy even in the 0.64 rear housing trim .. full boost at about 4000rpm .. and is externally gated

but should get your mid 12's goal.. then again a 2535 running 245rwkw can get 12.5

suggest something smaller like the 2835 ..

check out the RB25 results thread ..

anything will around 250-270 rwkw will get you the 12's your after

maybe the stock bov was stuffed. i know mine is, so is a mate of mine's. both leak at idle, and mine leaks up in the revs too.

and what stuff do you already have, and what are you getting, cause in your post in the dyno section you have some stuff listed. would've made more sense to say what you had, and what you were getting.

spot on, forget the plunum. the money you would spend on the plenum spend on suspension instead, to help you get the power down. and gt30 is probably a touch laggy on the streeter side. there are probably better suitable turbos to give you some good average power,

r33 hiflow

hks gt-rs

hks 2835

garrett 2871

You are on the money with this one Paul. Might be worth having a look at www.nengun.com for the RB25 GTRS turbo kit with injectors Power PC ect

If you only want 12's

Forget the following:

FPR

GT30r

Stainless Manifold

BOV

Plenum

Just saved the best part of 4k-5k there....

All you need is:

550cc injectors

PowerFC

Full exhaust

Better I/C

GCG hi-flow/HKS 2835 (bolt on replacements)

EBC of some kind

Decent clutch

You dont need anything more than 220-240rwkw for mid 12's on street tyres.

Any more spending is going overboard for no reason.

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
