Turbo Upgrade For Drifting

[riceracer]

hey all,

im setting my 33 up for drifting, and in turn am looking to upgrade the turbo for a power gain, but more looking for a response improvement, with minimal lag.

mods coming are upgraded fuel pump & pressure regulator, 550cc injectors, power fc

another 33 ive seen set up for drift had a HKS 2540? however after reading a thread on this i was put off this particular turbo because of lag. should i look to go down the path of a high flow? or proceed to purchase a direct bolt on replacement? and if so, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i have searched, but most of the threads have applications that are for hp gains and top end power, not so much response

cheers

T67 8cm, over 213rwkw from 3300 and peaks at 270rwkw all @ 17psi. See the yellow R34 i put the kit together for, he competed in Super drift D at oran park. The thing is too responsive! It had a gt30 on it B4 and was a pig.

Hi.

There is a RB25 dyno stick thread.

Have a read of it, and then pic the graph that best suits your requirements, and purchase that turbo.

Too easy, and there are lots of results in the 200-240rwkw range.

will have a search for this

im pretty sure the owner of the yellow r34 is a member of nissansilvia.com so maybe try and find out some info off there

Standard turbo with steel wheels. Lots of response, cost effective, BB and you can still run 16psi through it with the fear of the rear wheel flying off.

try drifting with a standard turbo first.. get your skill then go big.. im running a 35/40 .63 for drift with around 18 or so psi hoping for roughly 270 - 290rwkw, i dont want to go over 290kw for drifting, its just stupidly overpowered.

OR

As trent said, the t67, also the TD06 25G L2 will be a killer turbo for drift..

Trent how did robs 32 drift car go with the td06 on it?

it had a 14cm rear housing and was geared well with the OS close ratio box, it was built for Grip but i liked it for drift.... even though you needed to be a rough kent... full boost by 5000 and pulled to 8800 rev limit

the T67 on the R34 made 40rwkw more between 3000-4500 and at least 10 everywhere else but peaked at the same top power as the GT30 so i know which one i would rather be drifting

hks gt2835 pros,

easy 250kw with full boost at 3200-3300rpm!

cant u sacrifice poor suspension setup and crap tyres to induce loss of traction rather than throwing more power at the rear wheels ?

im considering this myself, any oidea how much it could cost?

for a moderator thats uncalled for. If you have a problem with drift theres no need to post in threads about it.

cool off mate its for track drifting not street drifting, it was an honest question

[LTHLRB]

poor rear tyres results in loss of control and a barrier being met mm hmm it happened to me

but suspension is a MUST

drift FTW

Not really, guesstimates at ~$700 retail. I know a couple guys who have had this done through MTQ, except they got them at mates rates.

[LTHLRB]

you might as well highflow it then, instead of putting steel wheels... push a touch more power

how was that response as a moderator uncalled for?

so because im a moderator i cant have an idea or view on something?

i was just thinking out aloud, there a more than one way to skin a cat and drifting that ive seen requires lots of wheelspin

so one way to induce wheelspin is power, but there are other ways to get wheelspin, suspension, tyres, diff setup etc

and i dont get the cool off comments? it was a suggestion/idea relax....

i dont have a problem with drifting and my response was a serious one

well then the answer to your question , no not really, that would be like putting smaller brakes on your car to save weight while racing (on a track)

I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with turbonetics turbo chargers, but their T3/T4 hybrid ball bearing turbo is quite effective in pushing 290Kw with ease and give massive response. a friend of mine has a 26 with that turbo in his car, and i can tell you the car is violent. it hits full boost around 3300 and pulls massive to 8500 limiter.
