Hi guys,

does anyone know much about these turbos? The only info i have found so far are from the turbo comparison chart located at driftcentral.com, that it rates the turbp at 380hp for a sr20.

Does anyone think thois turbo could make over 260rwks, and how much boost do u think i would need to run to make this.

Thanks guys.

Dean

if i put a thicker headgasket on my 33, which has otherwise standard engine, maybe cams, will my engine survie?

What im gettin at is, say i have chosen 2 turbo setups, 1 makes 270rwkw at 1.1 bar, and the other makes 270rwkw at 1.5bar.

Does this effect the engine? Will a headgasket be enough to sustain a decent life out of my engine?

thanks.

From my readings the AX53B70 P25 Apexi Turbo is basically an IHI equivelant to the HKS 2530/2540, The compressor is a little larger, it is reated at a few more PS, but how much do aerodynamics etc count?!?!?!?!?

Though Apexi offer it with some different sized exhaust housings so it may not be affected by the boost taper at high rpm

From http://www.driftcentral.com/content_turboi...hp?tinfo=ttable ...thanks to Bu5ter :)

Its not to say its a bad turbo, its just that it may not be that well suited to a std engine wanting to run 260rwkws

yeh :), well my td06-25g fell thru :) so im on the lookout for a new turbo. this one came up, and it looked all right, however i assumed to make big power, i would of needed to run high boost, somethin i dont want to do.

I think ill keep on looking for somethin bigger then,

Thanks for help guys, as always ;)

Im keeping mine now so not trying to sell you mine...but if you are after 260rwkws (at around 1.3bar) then id grab a 2nd hand TD06-20G. Will make that power and from what two ppl tell me when on an RB25 they are a nice and punchy street turbo.

But as i said before if you want more power at a later date then id start off with a bigger turbo, or consider scrapping around for a 25G compressor and cover and high flowing your TD06-20G when you are bored of the power.

There are so many ways of getting the power your after...high flow with cams, 2535 with cams, kind dyno operator :) , 2835, 3037, kind dyno operator :) , TD06-25G, T67, RX6 plus so many locally sourced Garret.

If Steve is selling his car then id buy that...quickest / easiest way, and from what i read he modded the car in a nice and balanced manner and it sure makes some numbers :)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
