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!

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
