Guys / Gals,

I am looking at getting some more power out of the old girl, what sort of Turbos should I be looking at????? I would like maybe a size or two bigger than the T25's / T28's the GTR comes with......Would like the car to remain street mannered, but am looking for more of a track set up than a drag weapon....

Engine Mods are.

N1 Oil Pump

N1 Water Pump

Jun Sump Baffle

HKS Front Pipes

3" Exhaust From Cat Back.

28 Row Oil Cooler

Running .61 Bar

Nismo Clutch

Brakes and Suspension are all taken care of.

I'm running 2530's on mine with decent results .made 370rwhp@4500rpms 1.2bar boost on a 2wd dyno dynamics dyno the other day we didn't go any further cause it showed the car leaning out but this was later to be proved wrong. Willl be replacing the stock dump pipes in the coming week and looking to move up to 1.3 bar . I've traped 115mph with the current setup on a 30deg night will be looking to trap 120mph+ by the middel of the year with the same turbs.

wrxhoon on here has N1 turbo's on his r33 GTR at 1.2bar running PFC (tuned by Ben at Bel performance) stock fuel system and even air box ran 11.7@120mph on a nice cool night last year . The n1's are a good bang for your buck turbo and are pretty easy to come by these days you can't go wrong .

Also like you mentioned for circuit racing and street driving you can't go wrong with either the N1's or 2530's they have the same response as stock turbo's but don't run out of puff up high . If you really want to spend the moneu though you can go for the HKS GT-RS's which are better then both mentioned at everything .

Dont ask here.. everyone has a different expirence and a different car. your just gonna get a thousand different answers.

Find a tuner, speak to them about what you want to do and get them to recomend something in your price range and that will get you the power and response that you want.

HKS GT-SS, R34 N1, GT2530s... They're all much of a muchness. You'll get about 340-360awkw from them all on a safe circuit racing tune. The GT2530s will be about 500rpm laggier than the other two, but make a bit more power.

They're all good choices, and you can't go wrong.

Despite 7heavn's advice, don't go for GT-RS unless you're going to stroke the motor out to 2.8 or 3.0 litres.

I kind of agree with Andrew on the GT-RS thing. The fact that some of the quickest street and open class GTRs around Tsukuba still use 2530s tells me that for a near stock capacity GTR circuit car, they are good shit.

We have a full kit of low klm HKS 2530s coming avail soon, currently on our race car making 405AWKW. This is the full kit (stainless manifolds and dump pipes, wastegate actuators and all inlet and intercooler piping and all bolts pipes and associated equip) let us know if you are interested.

how much do you want for the complet set up?

    • 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.
