Nope, will be fine, just depends what you want. What kind of turbo is it? 30 series garrett or something?

been lookinh at the tr43=440 hp and the tr43hf =500 hp

i want the highflow one but you need an exsternal wastegate but you dont on the other one ...

what is the normal price for a turbo installation ? considering its got a t3 flange ?

hey bud, I just did this exact upgrade...

s1 r33 turbo .... to hypergear tr43.....not highflow

so far I have mixed feelings about this....

the sort of bad.....

I havent had it tuned yet..(i have a power fc that was never really tuned, just knew it would come in handy when I did start big mods)...and the r33 turbo was sooo responsive... this only comes on hard at bout 4,500.... or so.. but I have been told a good tune by dr. drift (on the 8th of April) will make all the difference in response.. so I am hoping so... but judging by the dyno sheet on their website it still looks like quite a responsive turbo.

my standard injectors are maxing out at a complete 100% when it comes on boost... so I will need new injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator

the good...

really strong on boost... when I first got the car back and went.... crap i have wasted my money.. there is no boost... I hit 5 grand and screamed for my life :yes: while smiling my ass off... it is a big jump in power from standard 33 turbo

I considered how far I was going to go with this engine before dropping a gtr engine into my gts4... and I couldn't justify a 1,500..2,500 turbo to be used for another 2 years and then the hole engine sold/used for parts/put in another car.

I would say....this turbo (with the correct mods)would pretty much take you all the way up to forging your engine..

also...I spent 300-400 on turbo install? the guys I go to are really cheap and really good with skylines...

anyone correct me if I am wrong with any of my assumptions...but as long as this is more responsive after a tune I would say it is a bloody good bang for your buck turbo!

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
