Hmm What Turbo Should I Upgrade To?

[cosmokram3r]

Hey guys, getting some cash in a few weeks so im looking to get my 93 R32 GTS-T to around 190-200KW

Mods i have right now are:

FMIC 600x???

Turbotech bleed valve (havent boosted it)

3" catback

HKS air filter

Ive been discussing this with a few mates of mine trying to decide what to upgrade, i was told maybe to get:

RB25 turbo

GTR Injectors + resistors

Stock Airbox

3" full turbo back exhaust

Re-map

and this should give me around the power i wanted but im thinking of a bigger turbo.. i was looking for something low mount/hi-flow so cops couldnt tell what ive put in, just dont know what my options are an prices.. I know my mate was telling me i can get T4 internals put in for $1400 but i'd like to know what you guys think would be some good mod's and estimated prices plus how much it would cost me to get put in..

ive been reading alot of threads but yeah just kinda confused on whats low mount and whats not and yeah any suggestions would be good..

Thanks

If it were up to me I'd do the turbo back exhaust first. My 2c.

As to what turbo you should use... check out this thread:

Rb25 turbo

Turbo back exhaust

Bosch 040

Intercooler

REMAP (CEF11E)

You can use all the standard intercooler piping and also use the stock air box and intake pipe

That won't cost jack shit and you should be able to make about up to 180rwkw on about 14psi

Will also be reliable and you don't have to go messing around with custom piping/exhaust or injectors

Car will pretty much look stock in the engine bay - which is great if you get pulled over

Low mount is just what your standard manifold and turbo is - how it sits down and you can't see the turbo when looking at it as piping covers it

If your not looking for anything more than about 190rwkw then an RB25 turbo would be perfect - looks stock and bolts straight on without any exhaust/lines/piping modifications

Other options are high flows but they are expensive - I would just rather buy a new GARRETT turbo instead of going down the high flow path

Something like a GT2871 would be good - not much lag and quick spool up

GT2530 for some good punchy power maybe up to 230rwkw with supporting mods

Even something like a GT2510 if your nothing looking at going to much over 200rwkw

options are endless, just depends what you want to do

I think I have just probably confused the shit out of you even more - and its about to get worse when people start posting

Draft up a plan/list and stick to it otherwise you will never get it finished or know where your heading

Also if your looking at going with the RB25 turbo upgrade path so up to 190rwkw you won't need to upgrade injectors either - stock injectors will be fine with a good fuel pump

Good luck

Also think of ur budget as well dude! The rb25 turbo path will be a fair whack cheaper than most other options

[cosmokram3r]

yeah abu im trying to understand everything but im getting confused reading different posts and talking to different people lol.. kane was telling me im gonna need about 4000$ to get all this and install it:

3" dump pipe - 100

3" front pipe - 150

3" hi flow cat - 200

airbox - 150

rb25 turbo - 400

gtr injectors - 500

BOOST CONTROLLER - 250

POWER FC - 1000 or DR DRIFT REMAP/TUNE - 650

he said its better to get a dump and front pipe and a hi flow cat to use the catback i already have..

i keep getting confused between low mount and high flow and what i can put in to my car and have it not need and what would be seen.. also turbo sizes and prices, if i should get new or second hand.. ahhhhh so much to know lol

how many dorra you want to spend?

[TTT]

rb25 turbo - 180-190rwkw - $350

2510 - up to 210rwkw - $? double the above?

2530 - up to 230rwkw - $ as above.

GCG ball bearing hiflow - up to 240rwkw - $1900

all of those would bolt on to stock position.

these are just what the turbo's are capable of and what they cost to supply.

install, tune etc is all extra.

serious, are 2510's and 2530's only $700? or is that 2nd hand?

[cosmokram3r]

im thinkin about $2000-3000 to start modding up.. not finding many rb25 turbo's around on the forums and tbh im thinking something a bit bigger.. the 2510 doesnt sound too bad but im gonna need supporting modifications im just not 100% what i actually need so that i dont waste money like i was told if i put in a rb25 my stock injectors would be fine and i wouldve bought GTR injectors for no reason so yeah... GT2510 for up to 210kwkw for around $800 doesnt sound too bad.. how much would everything cost me like a re-map and whats better a full turbo back exhaust or get a dump/front pipe and hi flow cat?

edit: looking for some 2510 turbos on here doesnt seem to be any for sale at the moment theres nothing but old threads.. im guessing i might have to buy new or where else could i look for 2nd hand/new turbos?

If you already got the Cat back part of the exhaust then you only the the Cat,and a combined Dump/front pipe from Just jap,think their about $250 and $160 for the hi-flow cat. All combined with your cat-back zorst you already got is whats known as a 'Turbo back zorst'

Cat-back is just the last half of the zorst after the catalytic converter

[FATAZZ]

also noticed Just Jap have some rather cheap JJr turbos (pretty sure their JJR) anyway their around the $700-$800 mark from memory, anyone tried these yet?

[cosmokram3r]

ah k lol thanks for explaining that i wish someone wouldve told me that earlier so i didnt sound like an idiot =P

the only place you will get a 2510 from is yahoo japan auctions and it may take a while to find one..

you can get them for 800ish may need to get lines made up though...

you wont need any support mods but i would get a turbo back exhaust.

you will only make over 200kw if you have a very healthy engine be happy with 190kw

get a tune set the boost to 16psi and rev limit to 7k cause its not gonna be making power up higher than that.

[cosmokram3r]

found one http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w17683540 but my japanese is rusty lol plus who knows if he would send it to australia and if the seller even speaks english to talk to me..

justjap looks like they havent got any used turbo's/front+dump pipes only new..

would i be looking at: JJR Split Dump & Front Pipe - Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T Price: $269

High Flow Design - 3 inch Stainless Steel

so thats the combination dump/front pipe.. with the cat i currently have, could i take out of gut out the filter inside to make it high flow?

that turbo won't fit your rb20.

u can import parts from japan through importers, just give them an idea of what you want or a link to the auction page then they will organize shipping.

jesse streeter is pretty good to deal with

[cosmokram3r]

^^ i thought GT2510 fit my RB20? GTST said it would bolt on to stock position?

hmm so other then sau/ns, importing parts or justjap where else can i find turbo's for sale?

[battery]

that one is for an sr20 you gotta get one with a T3 flange

[TTT]

I said stock position.. as in low mount..

the only thing that is direct bolt on is a hiflow stock one or an RB25 one.

everything else will need "something" modified or purchased to fit.

[rad100]

so will a gt2530 fit directly on?

hey dude the cops cant touch you even if you hi mount the turbo and up grade to a t88 for example.

because the car came out as a turbo car. it can have any turbo you want on it. as long as you have it all plumbed in right eg(afm or air filter connected,screamer pipe plumbed back in and BOV plumbed back in) i know cause i just went through all that bullsh#$%t and got through no worries.

im runing a hi mount TD06-25G and i had no worries!!

as you can see the turbo looks alot higher than it is in first photo but in the second photo it all blends in.just some of the magic that secretgarage can do!!! give them a call.

if you have any questions on turbo installations call kurt or andrew from secretgarage on 0405982775 and they will be more than helpfull in all aspects! they did my car!
