Need Turbo Advice

[KrisG]

Hi guys im looking at getting a new/reconditioned turbo for my r33 s1. The turbo i have is showing its age according to my mechanic and i need some advice on what to get and where to get it from.

I have roughly 1.5k to spend. Thanks in advance.

Best option is to get hi flowed standard turbo. Do a search on hi flows its been covered alot of times, even lately. Check out forum trader slide performance that will give you an idea on prices.

get the standard turb hi flowed. its good to 19psi and thats heaps for street apps. will allow up to about 300rwKw with some supporting mods. (injectors, piston, cams, ecu etc etc)

IMHO for $1000 odd to get a slide hi flow go for it. otherwise go see jpc racing, rajab racing, promaz, they are good with turbo hi flowing. similar price to slide but i reckon they'' do it a lil cheaper.

300rwkw? I think that's pushing it a little...

The most I've seen or read about with a highflow on an rb25 is around 270ish rwkw on a rebuilt Neo25 with cams and all the other fruit. Most rb25's running highflows and supporting mods range from 220-250rwkw.

Getting back to the original post, if you have the necessary supporting mods (i.e PFC, EBC, FMIC, fuel pump, injectors, Z32, turbo back exhaust) or plan on getting them in the future, then a highflow is definately the way to go and you'll end up with a very nice streeter once tuned.

If you don't have supporting mods and don't foresee getting them in the future, then I'd probably recommend just replacing your turbo with another std r33/34 unit as you won't see a huge amount of benefit with the highflow without supporting mods.

if ya want a pretty good turbo go a slide one. there cheap and effective

[KrisG]

I have FMIC,SAFC2,HKS ECV5,3 inch turbo back zorst with high flow cat, pod.

With the turbo im looking at getting new injectors when i get the turbo fitted so ill have them upon running the new turbo.

Is there anything else?

[KrisG]

Also will there be any lag?

if you get a highflow you'll get less lag than a bigger turbo... also just tune it with the safc for now then get yourself an aftermarket ecu... to be honest with you i wish i baught a highflow instead of what i have now..

What turbo do u have now?

300rwkw from a hiflow is far too ambitious.

More to 250rwkw, which is perfect for a street skyline

GCG Hi-flow

Slide Hi-flow

Both ones in the ball park that should be considered

[KrisG]

Ill be ordering it tuesday so yeah when i get ill be sure to let u guys know
