lookin to upgrade the turbo on my r33 it has a 3inch exhaust with a high flow cat, ems stinger ecu, bov, pod filter, 555cc injectors, spitfire coilpacks, fmic but a standard turbo.. can anyone help me with what size turbo what kind and maybe how much it might cost me to upgrade only looking for a moderate upgrade not a massive one cheers guys

first things first read the rb25 dyno sheets thread

second thing what power figures are you lookin for

thirdly are you on a budget if so what budget

but it mainly comes down to what power your after like i said read the rb25 dyno sheets thread alot of pages i know but worth reading through it

what do you use the car for?

how much can you afford?

what are your power goals?

what are your response goals?

rb25 turbo upgrade thread... have you read it? :)

LOL

This would be THE most asked question on this forum.

Even on the same page as this thread is:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/348743-3076r-for-270rwkw/page__st__20

Otherwise please do a search, people on this forum and very helpful but you need to do some of the work yourself.

Also, look through the RB25 dyno results thread.

I'm feeling nice today. Instead of telling you that you are a dickhead for asking the most asked question on this forum, and the particular forum having 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 post and threads about turbo choices, I'll link you to a post that I have made recently to help someone.

THis should give you enough information.

If you don't like the size of the turbo, check the thread at the top of the forced induction forum with all kinds of turbos and results.

Wouldn't de-turboing a GTST for P-Plates be the most asked?

i had a hks gt2535 on my last one, the previous owner tried multiple turbos on it he tried the 2530 and the 2540 but ended up sticking with the 2535.

i had power fc, hks front mount, full racepace exhaust from turbo back, big pump, fpr and it mate around 258 - 262rwkw on 14psi.

shed blew a few flames out the back aswell hehe. for the street i thought it was perfect as i even passed an epa with the turbo on it, just had to rub out the hks on the actuator and change the exhaust, that was running a standard air filter with an aftermarket panel filter.

as they said, depends what your after and what state your in.

High flow your stock turbo for about a thousand bucks, then get it retuned. 250rwkw from your current 190ish.

You will have it all done for about $2000. Anything else will cost you twice as much at a minimum.

Spending say $4000 will net you 270-330rwkw, any more will require more money (your injectors are maxed at this point). This would be with a 3071/3076/3582 garrett.

hey guys thanks heaps for the advice.. on a budget of about $2500 and as for power goals i want to reach atleast 270 rwkw... has anyone checked out the site www.turbokits.com ?? they seem to have decent turbos on there for around the $1200 mark why not just buy one from them????

They dont have any bolt on turbo kits for the RB25. There are plenty of turbos you can buy for $1200 in Australia that will bolt on. Talk to hypergear, they will get you 270rwkw from a hiflow turbo. I have a hiflow turbo with a larger rear housing and make 279rwkw with exhaust, injectors and Z32 afm.

Hypergear highflow.

Send him your turbo and tell him you want atleast 270rwkw.

Take your car to a tuner and get it retuned.

This is almost your only option.

+ injectors, exhaust, Z32 afm and a 3" metal intake :)

yeah thats seams pretty good any idea on how much it might cost? would it be better to get a new turbo hi flowed off them?

What do you mean by new turbo? They wont have stock of standard turbos so you will need to find one and send it to them if you dont want to have your car off the road while they hiflow your turbo.

highflow + injectors + fuel pump + fmic + nistune is the cheapest bang for buck in my opinion.

probably look about $1000-2000 for the turbo depending on who does the highflow and whether it is ball bearing or not, and all the rest would be a few k all up once tuned. Don't forget a clutch when you fry yours and new tyres and susp to put it to the ground, all adds up pretty quickly.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
