R33 turbo upgrade?

[Nightcrawler]

I need advice for a mates turbo upgrade. Does anyone have a stocker they want to sell, or advice on an upgrade turbo that is not too laggy but produces nice power.

HKS 2530, trust T518Z, apexi AX53B70 - depends on what you call too laggy or nice power. Responsive, spool quickly and good for from 230-250rwkw, depending on mods and a large mid range increase.

HKS2835, probably good for around 270odd rwkw (depending on mods), little more laggy than stock, but not hugely so, also good mid range

A couple of ideas anyways:).

HKS2835, 3037.

IMO 2530 is a bit too small for RB25, if u ask me to spend thousand on injector and fuel pump plus the turbo, 20-30kw gain isn't money for value.

[Steve]

and under the curve? still no good?

[MattR]

go the T04R:) who cares bout lag... Hey andrew whos it for?? ive still got manifold as well

[Steve]

hey Matt, if you arent worried about lag, chuck the to4r on the s14:)

[Nightcrawler]

it's for David (white R33) .... nah he doesn't want something that big .... and he wants cheap as possible, as he isn't sure he is keeping the car much longer - he wants a GTR

matts/deans super cheap vg30

[EnricoPalazzo]

yeh the boostd special is good, however a bit laggy. Say 270rwkws and 1bar by 4000rpm. not bad.

hey nightcrawler....i just had my standard rb25 turbo rebuilt with t3/t4 internals and highflowed (have more power than standard and should have too much issues wif lag)....if ur mate is interested in that then pm me. i was going this option first but i seen something more desirable hehehe.

ive got a to4 id sell

Hey dean, come for a ride now... Since porting the head It gulps air like nothing else, I can't get it to surge now at all, I am gradually bringing boost on earlier and earlier. My nitto's are wearing quick! (changing lanes is becoming a problem again) All I need is a Z32 A/F meter and I'm ready for a tune.

A 2535 is a perfect match for a RB25 in terms of Lag and power. Won't make much more than 250rwkw but will be a pleasure to drive in traffic. I think there is one for sale on the forum for $1500.... what's the price range you are looking for?

[EnricoPalazzo]

yeh matty, i will change the turbo soon, just gotta save up money for the rest, ie clutch.

So without the porting, what do u think u would of been making? Are u comin down to adel anytime soon?

The turbo works fine without porting. It is slightly laggy compared to other turbos 5 times the price.

I will be down in Adelaide soon ,but, without my wheels. you will have to come visit me in Syd. Autosaloon is a good excuse.

[EnricoPalazzo]

hmmm ill work somthin out.

Catch up when u r down.

cya

[EnricoPalazzo]

Actually, 1 other thing, did u find out any other info about the new v-trim to suit ur turbo.

When i do this, i wanna get the better one u mentioned.

[BOOSTD]

SUPER-V bigshaft part no-20364T $178.00 inducer-2.180" exducer-3.000"

note: the standard Vtrim has a exducer - 2.750

Compressor housing part no.20203 $121.00 inlet size 2.750

this housing will reduce the chance of surge further more.
