I have a close to standard R33 gts-t and would like to reach a goal of 250rwkw.

I have been told a GT2535/2540 is suitable for this kind of power. Does anyone have any other suggestions on which turbo i could use, possibly something cheaper as I heard they sell for $4000 which im not sure is true. Its a daily driver so I would like good mid range response.

What will I have to upgrade to run this kind of power safely?

Fuel Pump

Injectors

Tougher Synchros

Oil Cooler

And just remember I am not keen on spending millions of dollars. I just want something that will remain low-mount and make my car a quick street car.

I was also told hi-flowing the standard turbo would only be good for 210rwkw. Is that true?

HKS gtr-s would be the go with 550cc injectors and bosch motorsport pump mounted in the factory in tank position a gtr intercooler would be nice to see also if you had the dollars.Oil cooler only needed for track racing or drifting so save money and spend it elsewhere. you would also need aftermarket comp management i think microtech make a plugin system thats good value for money Stace Racer :flower:

hi dude, 250rwkw is no mean feat and should be fairly straight forward.

you will need the fuel pump, a front mount, a clutch, and an programmable ECU. And of course a good free flowing exhaust and filter.

You wont NEED the injectors and as you arent keen on spending heaps, just get a rising rate reg. Your gearbox will cope with the power fine.

A 2535 may hit 250rwkw, the 2540 should definitly hit 250rwkw. But new they cost a bit, so you could always go second hand for ~2grand. Problem may be that the 2535 is a bit hard to find 2nd hand, and the 2540 people dont seem to like!

I went to UAS the other week and looked at a band new Garret 3040 internal gate low mount that will bolt straight up, giving you the stock appearance you want. John at UAS will guarantee you will see 250rwkw, i think at around 1.2-1.3BAR, which you can run safely with the standard compression if the tune is good. UAS also insisted that this turbo was not laggy at all and gave excellent response.

If your sure that 250rwkw is all you want, then thats the road i would take.

Your best bet is ring UAS, they told me theyve sold, installed, and tuned many of these recently on R33's. Tried and tested, easiest way to go!

So would i just need one of those Bosch 044 Pumps? Would a Power Fc be fine for this type of power output or should I go for a microtech?

I would definitely be getting a FMIC and full turbo-back 3" exhaust. I heard about a special High-flowing job that GCG or was is CGC, do for the standard turbo to help it reach or get very close to my goal. Would that be a good option?

I'm on the road to 250rwkw myself and this is what i'm doing...

Currently:

* Std ECU

* Std Turbo

* Std Injectors

* Ex Cam Gear

* 3" Turbo Back Exhaust

* Dualstage Boost Controller

* K&N Panel Filter

* FMIC

* Clutch

* Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

= 186rwkw (rich)

Future:

* Power FC + H/C + Boost Kit ($1900)

* GCG 500hp Hiflow Turbo ($1900)

* Fuel Pressure Regulator ($160)

= 240-250rwkw (leaned out and with a bit of luck)

By the time I get there i'll need a better clutch and also some wider rims so it never ends. Now I just gotta find about $5k :D

What do you know, I'm on the road to 250rwkw (maybe even a bit more)

I've got FMIC 600x300x100,Decatted exhaust + pod with CAI.

This is what I'm going to do:

T3/t4 hybrid turbo, int. gated rated 500hp bolt on

Haltech E6X full management

Bosch pump 044 if 910 doesn't do the job(i've already gotten the 910)

550 injectors

Fuel pressure reg.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
