Chasing more power with my car.

Have decided on everything except the turbo.

Options are to hi-flow the turbo, or to get a new turbo that will be a DIRECT BOLT ON REPLACEMENT for the car.

Chasing around 300rwkw.

Do not want a massive turbo that will increase lag. Want a very responsive turbo...but one that doesn't drop off in boost near the top of the rev range.

So...which turbo will be a direct bolt on and fit my requirements?

It is for a engine with stock internals.

And one more question....if i get a turbo with a external wastegate, how much extra am i looking to spend? I would like one to be internally gated if possible.

Please recommend me some good turbos and rough price.

Cheers

if your chasing a turbo for 300rwk and minimal lag, you gotta go for something alot bigger than a hiflow. set yourself a realistic goal and go for 260 rwk. that youl do on a hiflow and still retain minimal lag, and a longer engine life with stock internals :)

good luck

There is no such thing, i would recommend reading the rb25 dyno results thread at the top of the page, or do a search, as posting a new question all the time that has been answered many times before will not win you any friends

I have searched but in the posts it doesn't say if it was a direct bolt on :)

But i know what u mean...

Which turbo do you mean by bigger? And thats why i am deciding on going a replacement turbo.

I think the GT35 is ok, but as i said...dunno if it is a direct replacement.

Pretty much covered in your other thread dude.

Good response/power can be had with 260rwkw and thats a hi-flow or HKS GT-RS or similar other brand names. Then you gotta step up frame of turbo etc.

Thats increased lag and so on for more power.

As we covered in the other thread aswell, 300rwkw is pushing the stock motor as it is.

Anything around the 300rwkw mark generally means it not bolt on either as you cant make massive power out of a peep-hole turbo, your forced to get a decent sized one.

A GT35 is well above 300rwkw aswell, closer to 330-350rwkw range and is most certainly not bolt on

Not trying to sound rude, but the other thread had a lot of useful info you dont seem to have taken onboard

Talk to Slide here on the forums about a turbo, I love his highflow :thumbsup::P:)

fkn awesome turbo.

whats the deal with 300rwkw with everyone these days ?? cant use it on the road so tell me JUST what is the point ?

240rwkw is just fine, surely, with a nice highflow at 1.1bar, piggyback ecus, fpr, z32, zuast and air, cam gears etc.

get a bit of boost into it and you're already over the legal speed limit.

want a bit more then add some cams, injectors, full replacement ecu etc :)

no point in going overboard...... its just a car.

no chance of a direct bolt on 300rwkw. well you could do it, but it wont be a nice set-up.

if you want 300rwkw bear in mind you need a lot of other bits too.

decent front mount (not cheap rubbish ones)

550cc injectors or bigger

high volume fuel pump

bigger afm is advisable too

strong clutch

good tyres

good brakes

and this is just the basics, there are lots of other desirable bits to have too with that kind of power.

but if it were me, and I wanted a 300rwkw R34 GTT I would get:

HKS 3037S 0.73 A/R

HKS GT-II 60mm wastegate

custom steampipe manifold (6boost ones are very nice)

that will give you 300rwkw and be on 1.5 bar boost around 4000rpm.

if theres anything that ive learned, its that a quick street car doesnt have to have huge max power, but rather good, average power. Therefore, on the street a 250rwk gts-t with a highflow, or a GTRS or something similar is going to be more responsive than a laggy 300rwk equivalent. Your not going to use 300rws on the street. I say for the street, even the basic mods with standard turbo, such as ECU, exhuast, 12psi of boost and a good intercooler is enough. If anything dont compromise response for max power. :rant:

Like what nismoid said, 300rwkw on the RB25DET is really pushing it. I'm also looking at upgrading the stock turbo. From what i gather, 300rwkw is pretty much more suited for hardcore track racing, if you're using it on the streets majority of the time, i would get something responsive eg. HKS Gtrs , 2835, etc.

I can tell you a 3037s 0.73 AR on a RB25 Neo is not laggy at all. I reckon it's the gun choice for a stock engine RB25.

I agree, even the .82 isnt too bad lag wise mine made 303rwkw at 18psi and is not noticeably worse on response than the Apexi AX53B70 I had

1.a new turbo that will be a DIRECT BOLT ON REPLACEMENT for the car.

2.Chasing around 300rwkw.

3.Do not want a massive turbo that will increase lag.

4.Want a very responsive turbo

5.one that doesn't drop off in boost near the top of the rev range.

hahahahah!

1 and 2 cancel each other out.

2 contradicts 3

4 cancels out 5

That would be the perfect turbo. I mean, it has it all. Early boost, no lag, big power right to past redline.

I'll take 6 if you can find one...I don't even care how much they are.

I still reckon from how my GT3076R drives that a bolt on GT3037 from HKS will meet most of those requirements. They will pull hard to redline, have excellent response, make good power, and have an awesome midrange whack.

If I did it all again, I'd not go smaller than a GT2835/GT3071R but not go bigger than a .82a/r GT3076R.

    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too. 
    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!
