best turbo to upgrade with on a budget (r33 gts-t s2)

[DirtyDezza]

hey ppl i recently had my motor die on me.... uterly dead and i am looking at doing a few upgrades along with the rebuild....

my current mds include a 3" turbo bak zorst, fmic, bleed valve, safc2 and a pod filter....

am getting forged pistons and gtr rods put in, now all i am wondering about is wat do ppl think would be the best turbo my car is an auto, and i like the power lower down for better acceleration othr than massive top speed

Dude, I'm getting my HKS GT2535 properly tuned on Monday - keep an eye out for the results

even after fitting it, I can feel a marked improvement in down-low power

what kind of budget ?

this one looks tasty , internally gated gt30 flanged for rb20/25s . Its pretty new though so I havent heard any experiences with it

apart from that gcg do rebuilds of your stock turbo up to 450hp , full ball bearing , steel wheels .

i JUST fitted a GCG high flow, and can say that while the response is slightly down the mid range power when it does come on is awesome....

this is all before a tune as well, so am keeping it to a respectable .9 bar

not really that cheap tho ... but excellent plus factor that you dont have to stuff around with anything else to make it fit as its externally identical !

yeh gcg is best value for money and will make good power if everything else is up to it

what was totall cost tango? and what got done?

[tang0]

total cost was $1950 the price of the tubby ... plus a fwe $ for gaskets and copper washers ..

i also changed the oil at teh same time, was about time to do it ...

when i took off the water lines, basically the content of the rad pissed out, so replaced all the coolent as well ..

i already have 3" turbo back, walbro pump, hks pod, evc 4, and a pfc and malpassi fpr, and 480cc injectors waiting to be installed....

tang0, some nice mods there what power you making?

I'd go with the GCG Hi-Flow for stealth and I've heard nothing but good news about it.

[tang0]

thx, i have no idea what power its making ... not had it on the dyno ... am waiting till i have everything right until it gets the pfc and a tune ...

i'd recommend the gcg, only took me half a day to install it !!!
