Hey guys only recently blew the standard turbo on my 34 gtt, i was going to just keep it off the road until its sent away for the build but i want to get it back on as i dont want all my rego going to waste plus its extremely sad seeing it sit there and not move...but anyway

Ive had no experience with upgrading into a smaller turbo class with the rb25s/neos etc...so was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to what would be a good choice as a straight bolt on to the original manifold/dump etc i want something with a little more punch than the standard turbo as i want to run a bit more boost for the time being so any help as to what would be ideal to throw on and make a little more power and not have to go through a drastic tune or at least be relatively driveable once i bolt it on.

Thanks. B

Drop your blown into a turbo place like Hypergear and get them to highflow it. That will get you 240-250rwkw with supporting mods and will bolt straight up to everything and appear standard for the cops.

+1.

Either shoot Stao (Hypergear) a PM or give him a call and he can help you. Very helpful and the turbos are excellent from my experience :thumbsup:

Ill have to get on to them and perhaps post it or something cause im in the middle of rural NSW with no performance shops anywhere in sight so we all have to do everything ourselves around here..good way to learn but yeah do you know anything about what price it would be to get it cleaned up and high flowed? the car made 235rwkw at 10psi and i had it running at 1bar after a while, stupid idea and probably why it blew but I knew what i was in for and didnt mind as i was going for the new build soon anyway but that seems like a quick fix and being the same turbo would obviously bolt immediately back on thanks for the help guys

but you'll need ALL the supporting mods if you go the highflow route...

grab a std turbo and bolt it on, otherwise start planning to spend a heap of cash...

Its currently running a big trust front mount, power fc /w hand controller, avcr, apexi power intake, Z32 AFM, 3 1/2inch jasma exhaust, big sard fuel pump, hks plugs, hks SSQV3 bov and soon to have spit fire coilpacks so its plenty to handle the high flowed set up

If there are no shops to tune though, what you doing to do there?

You also need injectors

And for the record there is no way you made 230rwkw on the factory turbo, its impossible. At 10psi, 190rwkw would be about right.

What state? You will need a tune, nistune. There is a search box up the top right, select 'this forum' and punch nistune into that.

Drop an nismo, tomei, bosch fuel pump in the car and run 14PSI with a nistune and you will actually run 230kw.

Don't just get a high flow and run the standard ECU, no point.

Could have been flywheel kw...it has injectors already sorry didn't put that down and yeah I haven't even seen dyno sheets for it I'm just going off what the seller had actually told me so I'm not trying to spin shit, all I know is it ate my mates 06 sti, has beaten ve ss's, supras etc but yeah I'll have to dyno it after the turbo gets back..this is all a learning experience as I've never worked on these engines before

I have a sard fuel pump and power fc tune already done mate

It sounds to me like the turbo you have blown is not standard. Never heard of anyone doing all those mods plus injectors and Z32 AFM for a standard turbo on 10psi??

Maybe it was a hiflow already? Post up some pics of it.

    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!  
    • We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
