Rb25Det Turbo Upgrade Help

Hey guys,

I'm new to the turbo scene and I'm looking to upgrade my stock snail. I've looked on the SAU fourms for some opinions and also asked some friends with skylines but not really getting any clear advice yet.

Here is the current setup to the best of my knowledge:

1995 R33 GTS=T Series 1.5 RB25DET

Mods:

2.5 inch exhaust w/ dual 2 1/4 inch tip

frontmount intercooler

frontmount oil cooler

oversized radiator

bosh electronic fuel pump (rated to 650hp)

bigger injectors (not sure which ones)

Greddy e-01 boost management

4" pod filter

Z32 AFM

Hicas lock bar

Splitfire coilpacks

Lightened flighwheel

Heavy Duty Clutch

Front strut bar

Slotted and cross drilled front disks w/ ultimate pads

after ive chosen which turbo to upgrade to I'm also going to install a nistune chip on the z32 ecu.

So guys what do you think is my best bet for a new turbo. looking to spend about $800-$1000 not much more.

Also one of the guys on here have offered me a T04E for $750 with dump pipe and external gate. Is this any good? and is it a good price for a used turbo?

Thanks guys.

    • Yes, it's similar length. 
    • Is the CD009 similar length from bell to shifter?    car will just be for the street with the odd track day. It’s RB30det, and weighs about 1000kg
    • The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.
    • VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
