I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo.

Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.

 

Thanks you in advance!

A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead. 

If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/

If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration. 

If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade. 

No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.

300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish).

If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile :)

Wasn't there some discussion of how the Hypergear high flow actually has different dimensions so it's not a true bolt-on replacement? Honestly if that's the case I would consider just going true twin scroll and go down a massive rabbit hole of getting all that to package as close to stock as possible.

Yeah - the Hitachi core is huge (long) and the core Tao uses is quite short, so the compressor housing moves backwards.

But I wouldn't let that stop me. In fact, I didn't.

But I imagine that the correct thing to do is to go for the latest G series on an Artec manifold. In V band. And f**k the twin scroll, because short short Artec manifold runners + easy install/removal/adjustment outweigh the small loss in spool.

Yeah, but twin scroll is the OEM thing and I love pain.

There's no twin scroll on the OEM turbos. On the manifold, kinda, yes. Not on the turbos.

Rather it's the OEM thing these days. I don't think I see single turbo monoscroll on any I6. Obviously back then twin scroll turbos weren't readily available so I saw a lot of "twin entry" designs which had a divider on the manifold but nothing on the turbo.

And that alone was a huge improvement to single merge collector.

Those early "experts", used to grind down the divider for "flow" and lost response.

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
