In a few weeks i am getting my new turbos put into my car (R33 GTR) :blink: They are GT2860r-7's. I am also getting my exhaust replaced at the same time. I have Tomei dumps, 3 inch Do-Luck front pipes, 3.5 inch cat, and a 3.5inch Do-Luck cat back.

My car is stock at the moment and was dynoed at 181KW at all 4.

My question is what sort of power increase can i expect from this upgrade? And what PSI/BAR should my turbos be set at? I assume since i dont have a manual or electronic boost controller that the boost can be set on the actuators? Im thinking 1 BAR will be fine and still keep my engine in good safe working order.

Cheers for any help :down:

18-20psi you should see around 300 at all four with management.

You make no mention of management however, so if you dont have any...

1bar - 250 at all four.

Bit of a waste running 1bar with those turbos though, get some management

The plan is to get a Power FC when i have the money ready. Im just trying to get my car back on the road after it being off the road for 6 months with stuffed turbos.

I dont really like the idea of being to close to 300KW just for the fact that if my engine goes i cant afford to rebuild it at the moment im trying to save for a house aswell :blink:

  • 3 weeks later...
I finally got my car back today with everything fitted and no more exhaust smoke either :)

I managed to get 232awkw @ 14PSI

That is great for a stock GTR.....

PFC will only get you another 20 to 30 AWKW's.....

I run the gt-ss turbos on my stock r32 gtr at 307rwkw with a safe tune and blew up no.6 piston within 3000km. Don't do it mate. Run about 270-280rwkw to be safe.

wahhhtttttttttttt im scared to install my GT2860 -5s now ;)

once you get the power FC you should see an easy 290-300rwkw with 18psi..i think that would be safe. 232awkw is what you would expect from standard turbo's at 14psi

Cooper,

You in Adelaide mate? Whos doing the work on your car?

Cheers,

Big Mike

Yeah im in Adelaide, Graham West Workshop (Adelaide Performance Engineers) did the work.

If i wanted 16 PSI would it be as easy as adjusting the nuts on the actuators? since i dont have a boost controller. How much would i have to wind them out?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
