Thanks again price works out to be a tad over 2500 delivered very resonable, I sent them an email and it comes with everything need to bolt onto the stock manifold and standard size dump pipe.

Just remembered about a article I read once in a HPI mag about a GTS25T with a apexi turbo. Had a look before and found it, issue 31 yellow r33 on the front. Using this turbo with 1.3bar of boost 268rwkw was produced. Mods incuded all the usual stuff plus light head work and step 1 256 tomei pon cams, the NVCS disabled and cam gears were used instead

Im very interested to see how it will go mint, if I had the cash to upgrade my turbo I recon this is the one id get to. What other mods do you have / plan to have.

cheers

Currently have FMIC, full exhaust with hi flow cat, pod filter and power FC.

Will be adding poncams, fuel pump, injectors, Z32 AFM and apexi super suction (basically steel intake pipe) kit to the list before getting it all tuned along with power FC boost control kit.

Apexi rate the turbo at 375hp (from memory) or 280kw, but I will be happy with around 250kw.

That is the exact setup mod for mod that I was thinking mint, the same power target (250rwkw) too. Tomei poncams where my pick as you will be able to keep the NVCS for better midrange. If this setup makes the power it would make it the perfect street setup for a RB25 in my opinion.

My only concern is the amount of boost required to get to 250rwkw id estimate around 1.3 bar. A question for the experts, would we need a thicker head gasket to lower compression? Or will this boost and power level be fine with stock internals.

Hopefully you could get away with this without the thicker headgasget as response, spool time and off boost torque would be sacrificed.

Keep us posted mate

There is definitely some restriction somewhere as my car was making exactly the same power at 16psi as it was at 14psi..

I've heard of people comfortably running 18psi through these.. There's more to the turbo than my graph shows imo

I asked this question ages ago. Do you guys recon the standard compression on a RB25 will handle 1.3 bar/ 19psi or would a thicker head gasket be needed.

cheers

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
