I currently have an R33 RB25DET, it looks like it has leaned out on the sixth cylinder, so rebuild is required. I am looking at rebuilding the engine with Arias forged pistons 20thou oversized & might as well get a metal head gasket at the same time.

Now at the moment i got the standard turbo running 10 pounds, front mount, 3'' turbo back exhaust with custom screamer pipe, ebc, splitfire coil packs etc. I am looking for more power when im doing the rebuild so at the moment my list is;

Rebuild with Arias Forged Pistons & Metal Head Gasket

Apexi PowerFC

Nismo 740cc injectors

Bosch 040 fuel pump

Nismo fuel pressure reg

I am undecided on the turbo though, i was looking at either the Garrett 3071R or the Garret GT30R from sliding performance but i wanted some suggestions on a turbo to get. The car is a daily driver and reasonable boost response is required. I also may get some Tomei poncams depending on the turbo but i want to use the standard manifold and have an internally wastegated turbo. I was also looking at a HKS GT-RS but due to it costing 4000 i don't think it is possible at the moment.

How much power are you chasing?

740cc injectors would be a overkill for a daily driven car (petrol) UNLESS you after 300+rwkw. 550cc should be right. remember its a 6cyl not a 4cyl like Silvias/Wrx's

for the money of HKS GT-RS the GCG Highflow (half the price) seem to be producing similar results without the price tag.

250rwkw daily driver with the ability to boost it up to hopefully 280rwkw to 300rwkw, i want to run 12s and in darwin with the heat you need alot of power. Has anyone run a GT3071R or GT30R on an RB25 and do they know approx what it makes boost at & what it is capable of power wise. I also don't mind spending a little bit more money to get get good parts, i don't to get a turbo and run it at close to max performance all the time.

Yer im in the same process as you but my only last decision is the turbo and im leaning towards to Gt30r from Slide as its Internally gated & will bolt on to std manifold and should see around the 310rwkw with the correct motor! Anyone using a gt30r internal gated turbo?

How laggy will this turbo be, i have been told 1 bar boost at 3750rpm without cams, and if i got poncams how mcuh quicker would it spool.

Garrett GT30R 500hp T3 Internally Gated Turbo

Included :

GT30R 500 Hp Dual Ball Bearing turbo with 0.82 exhaust (optional 0.5 and 0.6 front cover) with internal wastegate

Wastegate (Adj actuator kit) with dual diaphram (reduces lag)

Wastegate housing kit

CNC Machined braket

Turbine:

84 trim 60mm GT30

Compressor:

76.2mm 56T compressor

Exhaust housings:

T3 inlet, T3 5 Bolt discharge 0.82 A/r, 3 bolt dump pipe flange

Sounds like it bolts onto the stock manifold which is good. does it come with water and oil lines? do you need a custom dump pipe?

Have you thought about the HKS PRO-S kit comes with everything needed to bolt in place 300+rwkw is possible with cams and its probably less laggy.

Making 255-260rwkw at 18 psi without cams. get to 18psi between 3000 and 3500 rpm...

VG30 Zaust housing ar anyone?

the GT30r bolt onto the Stock manifold, But the Dump will need modified slightly & bradied Oil & water lines are required!

Gunmetalr33 when do you see full boost & how much power are you making?

Cheers

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
