Hi :(

I know at least a couple of people have HKS GT-RS turbos on their R33 Skylines, and have seen some dyno results from people using them - but there are a couple of questions which have I've had that I haven't found answered yet:

What boost level is the actuator that comes with the turbo set to?

Do people use the factory fuel system - or upgrade the pump? Injectors?

What kind of 1/4 mile times have people with them on R33s achieved?

Any input would be appreciated :(

Cheers

hi mate i think they upgrade the fuel system with the turbo.It makes allot of scence.

P.S. Allot of people say that the hks actuators are set at 1bar permanent but i belive that this is not the case as how can people not have a lower seting of boost for their given application.

I think that it is the recomended pressure that they run best at most efficiently for heat created spoolup,response and peak hold psi.IMO not many others i think though.

Not sure what boost level the actuator comes set at but the minimum boost I can run is 0.9 although it still seems to sit at 15psi anyway, max boost is 1.2 with stock internals.

I have a bosch 044 fuel pump and 555cc nismo injectors.

Have not taken it to drags yet but got 270rwkw and not to much lag so should be in the 12s depending on tires?

This is what I found on google

Direct bolt-on to stock manifold. Includes 0.9kg Actuator, Gaskets and other Hardware. S13 requires custom or modified oil/coolant lines.

52T / A/R 0.64 / T25 Inlet / Internal Wastegate

Awesome - thanks a lot :P That pretty much covers what I was looking for.

So it drives fairly well like a pretty standard R33 when not giving it some??

Reedy, Wat rpm range does it spool up and create full boost by i am looking at putting one on my rb20 soon but i havent been able to find out wat rough area it will spool up by i've got the stock rb25 series 1 turbo on my car at the moment and i dont get full boost untill around 4000rpm lil bit after running 14psi lil bit before running 10psi.. so yer any info on spool of GTRS would be helpful thanks :D

On WWW.HKS-POWER.CO.JP (warning... in japanese) you can go to the turbos menu, and there is a section called "RB20-25" or something like that, which has a section on the GT-RS and GT2530Kai kits for R32 and R33 GTSt Skylines. It shows boost plots and dyno plots comparing between a stock R33 turbo and a GTRS or GT2530Kai to get an idea of comparative power/torque/spool performance.

The GT-RS at least on paper looks SLIGHTLY laggier than the R33 turbo, maybe ~300-400rpm later at most to reach the same boost level on an Rb25. The 2530Kai looks like its better right through the rev range than the R33 turbo. From what I've seen around the place, the 2530Kai looks like what I'd consider the perfect turbo for a "street tune" R32 GTSt with an RB20DET. Slightly better down low, and much better up high and with higher boost levels than the R33 unit.

I'm just looking for what realistcally I'd have to expect in terms of set up and general driving with one :D I have no doubt I'll like the full throttle performance of a GT-RS.

My mods are;

-Full 3 inch exhaust

-FMIC

-Bosch 044 fuel pump

-Spitfire ignition coils

-Power FC and boost kit

-Adjustable exhaust cam gear

-Nismo 555cc injectors

-HKS GT-RS turbo kit

-Z32 AFM

-Xtreme billet lightened flywheel

-UAS sports clutch kit

-Tein super street coilovers

-Whiteline front and rear swaybars

-JIC tension rods, front negative upper link, rear adjustable upper link

ahh k so not really all that much difference but yer i think i might go one of these GTRS's on the rb20 put a set of pon cams in to reduce a little bit of lag.. nice setup :rofl:

thats pretty much what i hope to do in the near future :)

;)

What I had hoped I'd be able to get away with is getting a decent fuel pump , a PFC, FMIC and a GT-RS kit and get it tuned on the minimum boost setting - is it fair to say that even if I wanted to run the "minimum" I'd still need the bigger injectors?

    • This has clearly gone off on quite a tangent but the suggestion was "go standalone because you probably aren't going to stop at just exhaust + a mild tune and manual boost controller", not "buy a standalone purely for a boost controller". If the scope does in fact stop creeping at an EBC then sure, buy an EVC7 or Profec or whatever else people like to run and stop there. And I have yet to see any kind of aftermarket boost control that is more complicated than a PID controller with some accounting for edge cases. Control system theory is an incredibly vast field yet somehow we always end up back at some variant of a PID controller, maybe with some work done to linearize things. I have done quite a lot, but I don't care to indulge in those pissing matches, hence posting primary sources. I deal with people quite frequently that scream and shout about how their opinion matters more because they've shipped more x or y, it doesn't change the reality of the data they're trying to disagree with. Arguing that the source material is wrong is an entirely separate point and while my experience obviously doesn't matter here I've rarely seen factory service manuals be incorrect about something. It's not some random poorly documented internal software tool that is constantly being patched to barely work. It's also not that hard to just read the Japanese and double check translations either. Especially in automotive parts most of it is loanwords anyways.
    • If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.
    • Hi there I have a r33 gts with 4 stud small brakes, I'm going to convert to 5 stud but keep the small brakes, what size rotor would I need?
    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
