The R34 housing is noticably bigger than the R33 one. I've had them side by side and photographed them for the forum but the pics have been lost in the migration.

That's why when you lot all started crapping on (:P) about VG30 turbos I pointed out that the R34 turbo also has a bigger exhaust housing which is why I got 228rwkw from an AUTO at 12.5 psi.

How do you know? And have you replaced it?

I am pretty sure because it has happened to other people before with R34's and I took notice. Then I spent an entire drag day deducing the problem. It was fine for one run but then do a second without 20-30 minute cooldown and the power loss was dramatic.

I have replaced it but not really tested because it doesn't really happen on the street. Only on the strip and down the straight on the track.

i managed to locate a vg30 single turbo and it is now down at gcg along with an r33 turbo getting the hybrid hiflow done. im interested to see what sort of power i can expect from it, im aiming for 250kw so will update when time comes.

got the turbo back now and it looks good,its amazing the difference in exhaust wheel size in the standard turbo to the hiflowed one.Much larger im eager to see how it drives and boosts so in afew weeks when i get my car running will let u all know

well i finally got the car going with this turbo setup although i have rebuilt the engine, got cams now etc so not just the turbo upgrade which makes it hard to note the difference in turbo response etc plus im still running the stock cooler and ecu at this stage as funds are not in my favour. Turbo duz feel nice although im only running stock boost and the car is definately faster that before with the stock turbo and running 13psi. just gotta eliminate stock cooler, ecu, dump pipe and injectors and i will be able to put a power figure down

it is IDENTICAL in every way shape and form.

I've had them both on my desk and measured every part of them and they are the same.

Don't go telling everyone and all the wreckers, or the prices will go through the roof again.

Are you hi-flowing your stock turbos with a VG-30 BB or a Garrett hi-flow.

I have these mods in my car now and which of these other mods do you think I should get or add first.

What I have now.

1: POD

2: TM duel boost control

3: Split Dump Pipe

4: Exhaust from Turbo 3" tip

5: A cheap FMIC

6 Apexi PFC W/HC

What do I need in addition first

1: Walbro fuel pump

2: Fuel reg

3: Z32 AFM

4: Injectors....which are the very best for a 1996 GTS-T SII?

5: cam and which kind and the benifit of them, exhaust and adjectable...why them and which brand is best?

I understand a lot of these questions may have been answered before but I have just arrived in Australia, so all your help is so much appreciated.

1: Walbro fuel pump I don't trust them. There are other options.

2: Fuel reg No.

3: Z32 AFM Yes.

4: Injectors....which are the very best for a 1996 GTS-T SII? Some Nismo 550cc ones will do.

5: cam and which kind and the benifit of them, exhaust and adjectable...why them and which brand is best? Adjectable? I recommend a pair of Tomei type b Poncams.

    • I would be looking at the tune mate. How do you know that you have such a low dynamic compression?  I had to dumb mine down because it was too jumpy when taking off (too much torque).  What ECU? Do you need help with the tune? 
    • Surely the cam timing is set to something stupid at low RPM?
    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product
