Turbo Replacement Without A Turbo

[skidlineTodd]

What turbos can I put into my r33 series 2 without a tune ? Is there any aftermarket turbo of a simular size ?

I don't really trust stock 33 turbos anymore lol..

Cheers

None. Maybe a VL turbo. But....ick.

Hmmm greaaaaaat, so all or nothing then hhey saw on a thread somewhere that someone was making 200kws with a hks something, I have ... or had 187 with stock turbo so I thought I could get away with something without a tune? Surely you wouldn't tune for 13 kws ?

highflow turbo. low boost

Might

highflow turbo. low boost

Might as well just run the std turbo at 10 psi. Likelihood of it blowing at that level is low. Likelihood of it taking out the engine if it does blow is also low (unlike on RB26s where it seems to be near certain). Makes more sense than paying for upgraded turbo that will have more lag and make no more power because you're limiting yourself to no tune.

Depending on what the high flowed profile is.

We can highflow it to run on 10 to 22psi reliabily with factory alike response and drive ability on standard ecu.

Highflowed turbocharger is capable of supporting a maximum of 270rwkws on pump 98 and had customers making 320rwkws on e85 With supporting mods.

Good condition NEO6 turbo with RB20 actuator (running the gate pressure).

Why don't you trust your 33 turbo?

Did it betray you?

Trust is a big part of a relationship.

This could be read as it is safe to run 22psi on the stock ecu with a highflow, which is very wrong.

Please fix your post so we keep everything accurate.

What is the correct maximum amount of boost you have safely run on a stock ECU with a highflow?

[skidlineTodd]

yes i have massive trust issues with the r33 stock turbo, as it went and the motor ate the compressor wheel and it apparently didnt taste good.
so looks like high flow or nothing at this stage, estimated price to high flow a 33 turbo

also can anyone give me more info on the 34 turbo?

also my 33 turbo went while i was running 9psi, hasnt run anything more in the time that ive owned it either ...

[Ben C34]

Well I understand your distrust!

Get in touch with hypergear . I think it's around 900 for high flow.

how would the car perform with the highflow turbo and no tune?
I will post a photo of my turbo for more understanding haha

Worse than stock. As I posted above. More lag, no more boost (in fact less boost).

Alright, it might not be that bad, it might even be slightly better. But why f**k about? Just put a bloody ECU in it.

[skidlineTodd]

yeah that would have been the plan if i didnt do some serious motor damage when the turbo went, so now im up for mass coin
thats why hiflow would be good if i got the same or some performance? then later on i can get an ecu, injectors etc and make good power without changing the turbo again

Your ECU wont allow you to make more power with a highflow, it will hit R&R and make the engine hesitate.

What you are after is a standard highflow getting rid of the ceramic wheel. It wont make more power but will live as long as you will own the car.

Will also give you the option of running more boost in the future once you obtain a tune-able ECU.

Or slap in a highflow and get in touch with Toshi (forums sponsor) for an off the shelf remap using your stock afm, stock injectors, etc. so you can up the boost without falling off the map with your stock tune.

[hypergear]

i meant stock drive ability when used on factory ecu under 10psi.

Do not run any thing above unless supporting mods are available.

Inb4 bolts a new turbo up and destroys engine because doesn't want to spend the $500 on a nistune.

[Leroy Peterson]

Old turbo died and took out motor... coin spent on new motor, ideally wants more power, but doesnt want to spend more money... hmmmmmmm

I would rather spend $900 on a cheap nistune + tune than getting a different turbo for "reliability".

This sounds like good advice.

[skidlineTodd]

more power isnt really an issue i just dont want another stock turbo to shit itself and dont want to spend even more money on a tune

p.s where can you get a 500 dollar nistune?!?!??!? a friend of mine pain 1200?

also how much would just changing the rear wheel cost ?
