You could rebuild it, though that is expensive and you are still stuck with a stock turbo.

You could replace it with a 2nd hand stock turbo ~$300, no guarantee that the turbo works but its cheap.

You could replace it with a Garrett unit some are bolt on.

You could replace it with a HKS GT-RS kit. Expensive but it comes with everything and is a fantastic bolt on turbo if you only want to make ~250-260kw (provided you upgrade the support systems for it).

yeah jon straight away showed me the hks turbo, look im happy with the 194rwk, but the temptation of 240 is pretty big, plus the hks comes with braided lines and new turbo bits and pieces, what sort of supporting mods would you need for 240/260????

Fuel pump, larger injectors ( nismo 555cc / stock S15 480cc ), after market ECU. The hks kit comes with all the new oil and water lines, gaskets and such. Everything else should be fine (assuming you have FMIC, ~3" turbo back exhaust, boost controller)

Edit. Forgot about the clutch. The stock one wont like that much power :happy:

john probably would have told you bout the KKR turbos. john put the KKR430 on mine and im very happy with it, it feels very responsive and cheap i made 252kw with it. a friend of mine had john put on the KKR 480 and made 300 for not much more but with standard engine i stuck with the 430

i have aftermarket clutch, ecu and the other parts not sure of pump and injectors. whats the difference with kkr and gtrs hks turbos, and ben if i cold get a look at one point that would be great,

mang if you dont mind how much the 430 set u back installed, im only after 200rwkw but wouldnt mind going up to 240rwkw, lol, i like even numbers

Hks made by Garrett to Hks specs, so made in USA, ball bearing turbo, say $3000 for a kit.

KKR made by KKR in Korea, bush turbo, say $800 plus water/oil lines $250.

Give or take a few $$.

If your poor, and don't intend keeping the car - or inversely the turbo - forever, go the KKR.

If you can afford it go the HKS, its like comparing an excel to a corolla, you get what you pay for.

HPI had a write up on the KKR a while ago, issue 84.

hmmm, more possibilities this is good, why did you take it off, at what ks???

alex

I have a stock S1 turbo you can take for $200. It doesnt have shaft play (or very little that goes with oil pressure) and only did 15psi a few times, but ran near stock most of its life.

Plus you learnt u want a new clutch now (or at least adjustment on yours) hehe

If a S1 turbo works on your car, datto's sounds like the best option. I was also thinking Alex, if you were lookin at mine for a rebuild - might as well rebuild your own hehe

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
