Ok so pretty much I have an r33 s1 with an rb25de and I'm going for a fairly stealthy look so mostly factory bits, but since I'm new to turbos and what not I was wondering if anyone could explain to me a few things ( also I tried using the search but nothing I found was of use).

Firstly which lines on the turbo are water and which one is oil (already has the oil drain pipe) and where do they go to?

Secondly is it worth getting an aftermarket bov? I've read that the standard are a bit dodgy. And if aftermarket what is better between plumback and vent to atmosphere

And last thing for now I just want some recommendations for what has worked well for others, spark plugs, panel filters, fuel pumps and wide band sensors.Thanks, nathan

Loads of information and most of your questions answered.

Also, be prepared for everyone to tell you to "just buy a GTST"

If your turbo has the oil drain fitted, the oil feed is directly opposite it on the other side, ie. top of the turbo when it's mounted in the engine bay. (provided it's a stocker)

There is a bung on the side of the block for the water and oil feed, you know which is which by what runs out when you remove them. The water return and oil return on most NA engines isn't there, bit of info in that^ thread about the returns.

Stock BOV in good condition is fine, don't go atmo unless you're running aftermarket engine management.

Upgrade your plugs and coils, again read the thread for types, gaps etc.

Stock panel filter and airbox will work with a custom pipe from the airbox to the turbo inlet, or get a GTST airbox.

Fuel pump will need upgrading, again in the thread.

Wide band sensor? For what?

Hope that helps. thumbsup.gif

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
