im wondering what is the next setup for my R33 GTR

here's my setup so far

i have APEXI AVCR boost controller...boost reaches 1.5 bar, lowering the boost after a interooler pipe remove the other night

stock garrett twin turbos with ball bearings (i think)

APEXI SAFC

TWIN HKS SSQ BOV

BLITZ Exhaust

APEXI POWER intake

stock ecu

(I haven't opened my engine and check the cams...and inner parts, i haven't added performance parts yet, this is what iv gotten when i bought the car from japan) with the HKS BOV, what could be the limit of the boost of this setup???thnx

Power FC if you can get one.I think ive seen a few for sale in the for sale section.

Haltech are good but a bit expensive.

As for clutches a good upgrade is a ceramic cushion button.Can handle up to 300ish kw and are good for daily driving.

I have given mine a bit of a caining, a few passes down the quarter.Still feels like it did when it was new.

1.5 bar boost and stock turbos ???? I wonder how long she is going to last. If I was you, I would back off the boost to under 1 bar until you replace the turbos .

Stock R33 GTR turbos are not ball bearing .

Yep next thing i'd be doing would be a computer and a tune, most people round here use PowerFC's and regardless of what people tell you APEXI do still make them and they are readily available for the Rb26.

Also if you are unsure of what turbos you've got best to keep them under 1bar for the time being, as the others have said...

i haven't touch the settings oh my avcr, the whole setup is from japan, it reaches to 1.4 and 1.5 bar from my avcr, could it be possible that the cause of high boost is because i removed the muffler? i only left the resonator?? i already checked my turbos, its a GARRETT M24 A/R42 , i tried to spin it with my fingers and it stops about 2 to 3 secs...so maybe its a ball bearings? were can i find the power fc ecu? and how much?

So, because your car already appeared to be running '1.4-1.5 bar' when it arrived from Japan you assumed it was safe to continue doing so?

Im surprised your turbos haven't combusted and lunched your motor

Just out of curiosity, when a turbo blows itself to bits like your suggesting this one could, what would "lunch" the motor?

Is it possible for the turbo particles to get through the intercooler? It doesnt look like theres alot of room for bits to get through!

(i dont know a great deal about turbos blowing up.. thought this might be a good place to ask :banana: )

Search is your friend but ....... when a RB26 ceramic exhaust wheel turbo goes it is generally spinning fast enought that it sends ceramic bits everywhere including back down the exhaust manifold and potentially into the engine through an open exhaust valve - hence everyone's warnings. The stock turbo's are known for doing this with increased boost and age.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
