Replaceing Cermic Wheel With Steel.. Flow 600 Hp...?

[SS#eater]

just a quick topic on r33 standard turbo...yeah its ceramic exhaust wheel...a turbo mech says he can replace ceramic wheel for a steel one and some other minor mods allowing up to 600hp out of it...i am a sceptic on this...he claims to do it as a "as new turbo" for 1700 bucks

comments anyone?

a 450hp high flow, yeah no probs, $1700 is a good price, 500hp high flow yeah no probs, runs gt30 internals etc, costs more than $1700 tho, but 600hp? how?

A 'genuine' 600hp isn't possible unless its a GT35r.

A GT3040 got close on an Rb25 here in SA, it had the works on, on the engine dyno with mid 20psi something it made 580hp at the fly.

Joel, do you know what size turbine housing? I think with all the modified turbos the restriction is the "stock" turbine housing.

Clint was running the .82 GT3040.

It went on to make 338rwkw on a dyno dynamic once the motor was in the car. So quite a drive train loss, didn't really add up to me but its only a figure, but still its considerably higher than I've ever seen from the GT3040. No doubt running some nice fuel, it was running a Motec M800

maybe he meant 600hp at the flywheel. that would be getting closer to believable.

[R31Nismoid]

600hp hi-flow...

i'd say impossible with the size of the R33 turbo housing.

Its not a .82 rear... and i doubt it could be machined to be even close to that.

Either way, the 600hp would probably be a mis-match anyway and hae a number of issues.

[Cubes]

Not even 600hp at the flywheel as that in its self is still GT35R territory if a GT3040r can only crack 580hp with mid 20psi a .82, big cams, lots of head work etc.

If its true ill buy 10. easier to fit one of them than to go to all this trouble. But unless its got a comp cover this big, i dont think so. Be nice to find a turbo that will flow that and be able to low mount without pulling your hair out.

yeah i agree with the most of you...if i was to spend 1700 on a turbo it would not be the standard one....

got a just jap front mount today! oh yeah CHEAP!!!! but seems to be a quality product... apexi power fc next....bank balance dropping.....

you stick 2x HKS 2530's on an rb26 and may still not make 600hp at the fly, no way a stocky will come close on an rb25. if they could im sure GCG would be selling them like hotcakes.
