Geeze you must have done a lot of searching cause thats probably the most popular thread topic on here! :nyaanyaa:

Basically a Hypergear turbo will bolt straight to your manifold and dump pipe. I assume you already have a metal intake pipe, if not you will need one on whatever turbo you choose. The SS1PU is looking like a great street turbo to have, and if you want more power then the ATR43G3.

Then there is the GT3071/3076 options which are very common. They will need a different dump pipe as its different to the standard nissan 6 bolt.

There are also the Kando turbos.

Do you have enough fuel capacity to flow a larger turbo?

I would be doing a lot of reading if I were you. On the first 1-2 pages there is a thread about Hypergear turbos, a thread about Kando turbos and at least 2 threads about Garrett turbos. Not to mention the rb25 dyno results thread which should answer all your questions.

OK so I'm assuming a lot here so let me know if I'm off base...

R33 GTS-T

Current = GCG High Flow R33 Turbo on its last legs

PFC

Injectors

Fuel Pump

Z32 AFM

Thought about a R34 OP6 Highflow? Its a straight bolt on and has a .63 rear housing so it can go harder than the R33 highflows...

Should do up to about 265, depending on the quality of your other supporting mods. So 240 is easilly acheived while still being responsive as faaarrrk.

As stated above, stick to the GCG highflow.

Its a good stout unit, dont fix what aint broke.. So make sure its not worn out before you go changing it or bothering to rebuild it.

You already have the PFC too so make sure you have the right injectors and AFM for your power goal, alone with FMIC TBE and a fuel pump and all you need is a retune.

Cheers,this is just what i needed to know.I have sard 650s,large walbro fuel pump,split fire coil packs.7 years back when i had the turbo done the most ever got out of it was 215kw on a good day,she just ran out of puff.I don't want to be dissapointed again.Been to many tuners over the years and they all said the same thing runnung out of puff.The 34 might just be the way to go for me.Need a safe tune as she is my daily,had compression test done today across all 6 cyl between 155 and 165,mech said that was pretty good.I have a series 2 motor in her now so i hope i can have a bit more safe power,got 314000 on the clock now,never at home.I would hope gcg puts a larger rear housing on these days,that seemed to be where the restriction is on mine.Might check out gcg see what there doing these days. :D Ps have the z32 as well.

I had a 33GTST turbo highflowed by GCG - ran it at 240awkw and 15psi in my Stagea - it had made 260kw at one point so your figures sound like a stock turbo. Did you get it highflowed or was it sold to you as a high flow? Mine cost about $1800 - I wouldn't do it again since I could get a new GT3076 for about $2k but in your case I would go for the Hypergear as I believe they are better kw for the $ than GCG.

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
