SOLD

I have an R33 GCG turbo for sale in very good condition.

I origionally bought it from a forum member and fitted it up. I was suffering boost creep straight away and thought it must have been the turbo. I bought a brand new GTRS turbo and was having the same issues, and have now narrowed my problem down to dump pipe and lack of tuning for my boost creep issues and not the turbo. So i now have to resell the GCG.

I can guarentee you wont be dissapointed in this purchase as the member who i bought it from had it checked out for me prior to purchase and i also got an opinion and was told the turbo was in great condition. It also ran very well on my car in the low and mid range with very good response until i reached the limiting factors i had against me.

It previously made 320rwhp on 14-15 PSI. With a little more boost you could make a few more ponies yet.

The minimal shaft play that was advertised in the ad from the last member is absolutly nothing to worry about as this is the normal amount you would expect from a brand new turbo and is no more than the new GTRS i have just purchased.

It has been an expensive exersice but have learnt a lot in the meantime. The Mrs bought me the new GTRS so i wouldnt keep pulling my hair out.......i just pulled it out more when i found out the turbos wernt the problem. Still i must thank her for the support she gave me.(she is the best)

I have only had it on the car for a week and will sell it for $1000 with free delivery anywhere in Australia.

Any questions call Simon on 0408 766 268

give you missus a big kiss for me! thats damn good of her aye

turb's is a bit rich for me, but i will just note, try ADVANCING the base ign timing on your car. Like as far as you can before detonation. I bet it fixes your boost problem. (if timing i too retarded the exploding gas goes out the exhaust causing the turbo to sin its face off even with the wastegate open)

cheers

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
