Oh they have a 45mm again?

Last time i checked (admittadly a while ago) they stopped making the 45mm ones and went to 48mm or something like that.

Going back 6 yrs now mine was a 45mm progate - so the 45mm item should be perfectly fine

Make sure you get extra springs.

I remember when mine came it only had a 10psi spring combo in the box

I needed to get extra springs ordered in to get it holding 16-17psi consistently :cool:

Given you want the gate to set as close to the desired boost as possible etc. Less change of gate creep which i had using a 7psi spring (and trying to run 17psi lol).

Soon as the springs were changed out it was all spot on.

Turbosmart 48mm would be a good choice, or anything around the 45-48mm marker.

Same as what i ran with a GT3040 (550-600hp)

Out of curiosity what did you make RWKW from that setup

270rwkw @ 16-17psi

369rwkw @ 24psi (sunoco104, i could run approx 8-10 degrees extra timing across the entire map, venting gate etc)

The 3" exhaust i had @ the time was terrible and holding it back on PULP with the gate plumbed in as well :/

Wish i had the exhaust i have now. Would have seen around 300-320rwkw on 20-22psi, perhaps even a tad more as it made 250rwkw @ 1bar.

Given we have E85 around, you could probably add another 40rwkw to whatever figure as well. Would have been interesting :cool:

Nice, definitely interesting results.

Although I am far from an E85 fan boy, but I am one of few and as we know majority rules :cool: So ill can it right the

Similar to you, exhaust is my current dilemma. I dont want to change away from what I have although have intention to lean as hard as I can on a fairly basic setup. I want to set a reference point for the turbo really.. Unit is an off the shelf 3037, .87 rear, 80mm surge cover.

I see you refer to your results often, although have been yet to find them in the dyno threads. Thanks for sharing.

Never got a chance to upload the 369rwkw run as that was from Autosalon & never got a print out (you can see it on youtube tho)

The 270rwkw run i think i have a sheet for somewhere. I'll have a look. Was what... 5yrs ago now so not entirely sure! :cool:

Sorry for hijackings :/

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      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.
