Steve Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Think it was a bit over 1k all up. I actually sent 2 payments one for injectors, one for collars. Simon just told me how much to transfer and I did. Exchange rate is getting better (was on 75:1 when I got them), so probably less than what I paid anyway.

rob77 Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 Steve, so what turbo setup do you have on your r33 or are putting onto your r33? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16896-trubo-choice/page/3/#findComment-364737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 HKS 3037S 56T, getting custom manifold, dump etc made up and getting it all ceramic coated - inlcuding the turbine housing. Just waiting to get it fitted - starting to itch..... I also have cams on order from Japan (being made) head gasket, exh cam gear, injectors, pump etc. The waiting is killing me!!!!

rob77 Posted June 6, 2003 Author Share Posted June 6, 2003 So you think the stuff from horsepowerinabox is no good? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16896-trubo-choice/page/3/#findComment-364888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Anything in particular? The 550cc injectors there are very expensive for what they are, low impedance top feed and second hand - they are charging about the same price as side feed high impedance new from japan. Their lightened flywheels seem like a good buy at $295, but they weigh 6kg - second hand from Jap, I have seen 4.5kg flywheels for less. Bottom line, sometimes places sell some stuff really cheap, other stuff not so cheap. I wouldnt say they are no good - just depends on what you are after.

rob77 Posted June 6, 2003 Author Share Posted June 6, 2003 So with my 350rwhp in mind what turbo do you think I should go for, as I said I want spool up around 3500 no later as I want good streetable power.

meggala Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 dreamin rob unless you runn high boost 1.5 bar or so 4k+ its a bout it for that power Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16896-trubo-choice/page/3/#findComment-366313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabigbolf Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 to be honest is lag really shit to have on the street. Whats 500 rmp in the context of going for that extra power. when boost does hit its gonna be a heap of fun.http://www.rotorworx.com.au/perfor_turbo.html heres a link i just found, with a few other turbos you might not have looked at. seem reasonably priced too for what they are capable of.

Guest INASNT Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 steve whos maing your custom manifold? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/16896-trubo-choice/page/3/#findComment-366330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabigbolf Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 i was speaking to another guy on the forums. also has an rb25det in a solvia. and he was running one of the series 5 turbos. he used the stndard manifold but just got two of the exhaust studs relocated. it cost him $20 to get done. The car ran 13.8 on 8 psi at 106mph so cant be doing to bad. just another way instead of spending mega dollars. the turbos go for around $200 and then you could get it rebuild and hiflowed for around $800. wouldn'd be a bad idea for the price. i think he said it spooled up at 4000 rpm.

Steve Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Rob, HKS 2835, or a garrett gt30, just make sure you get one with a smallish turbine AR ratio:) Either of those should be fine. If you have a talk to the guys Per4manz, or SST - I'm sure they would be able to find the perfect turbo. Your aims for rwhp v's lag seem pretty realistic, depends on how much you want to spend at the end of the day. INASNT, Evan (PSI fabrication) is making it.
