I have a Gtr r33 and looking to install the Garrett-5's. Installed already is the air intake and 3inch exhaust with a sports cat. What I will be installing with the turbos are: 1125cc Bosch injectors, tomei cams and camshaft, tomei dump pipes. My question is what the max spool on these turbos with the mentioned mods? (What RMP when full boost kicks in?)

What I would like to know if anyone has installed these on their Gtr r33 and their thoughts on this?

Wanting to use this on the street and track...

Thanks.

The fuel will be premium fuel (98). Boost level is unsure of at the moment. If possible 1.5 bar. I've looked through forums but most talk about kw at the wheels. Not to concerned on that. I expect to produce somewhere between 300-350 kw at all wheels. Current set up is producing 240kw at the wheels.

I just want to ensure the right turbo is use for and not too much lag. If full boost is around 3500rpms this would be fine.

On stock engine and cams, -5 max spools at around 5000 rpm, with bigger intercooler, dumps etc max spool at 4500 rpm, unsure about cams(depends which one). I think it would be hard to get max spool at 3500 rpm with -5 on rb26, maybe able to bring it down to 4000 rpm if you get hard pipes everything and bigger exhaust like piggaz said.

For 300-350 kw atw better off going with -9 and e85, it will be less laggy than -5. With -5 you will eventually need to go to 400kw to make sense.

Your never going to see full boost at 3500 with -5s it doesn't matter what you do

To get the best out of them tho

-Big exhaust and dumps (twin 3in into 3.5 minimum)

-Cam gears (no cams they send you backwards)

-Bigger and better intercooler (not an eBay Chinese special)

-E85 (makes a huge difference)

*increase your capacity (stroker or etc)

*vcam or the otomoto veriable cam system

The ones with the - should be on your list no matter what the * are if you can afford it, but a car with the entire list would be a weapon

but this is a better idea, my car with the stock engine and -7s makes 348kw on e85 and has fantastic response

R32-25t, my concern with e85 is the availability of petrol stations around. Are you from melb and if so have you found it difficult for filling up for weekend drives?

Originally I opted for the -7, from what you have mentioned may relook at the -7's.

Looking at the specs on the intercooler on the GTR R33's is rated up to 450kw? Would you still change them?

ive still got the standard one in mine but we have seen proven gains right through the rev range from changing them

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well

      Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well.

      Need help/advice with bearing taper clearance, eccentricity and arp studs.

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard

      Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
