Hey i am looking at upgrading my turbo and have a few questions. atm i have full exhaust, filter, and front mount.

I have been thinking about getting a r33 or r34 turbo and getting it hiflowed and put a steel wheel in it. (i think that is possible not sure)

Would this be a good upgrade turbo? and any idea on prices for hiflow job? there reason i want to get ones of these turbo's and hiflow it is that it would be more inexspensive than getting some aftermarket turbo as with them i would more than likely need custom oil lines and may have to get custom intake, dump pipe etc. Which mean a lot more money.

If i did get one of these hi flow turbo would gtr injectors and a good fuel pump be sufficent to run them? and if so what fuel pump do i need and appart from the injectors and a tune what else would i need?

Also any idea on the sorta power output or quater mile time you could pull with this sorta setup?

and lastly any more suggestions on turbo upgrade if ppl think this is a bad idea.

thanks

www.gcg.com.au - These guys Hi flow turbos and have a list of prices on their website. A good upgrade for an RB20 would be the RB25 turbo (off an R33 or R34) and hiflow it. I think from memory they can push up to 22PSI, i might be wrong.

If you upgrade your injectors you will need an aftermarket ECU, a good one that everybody uses is the Apexi PowerFC. If your gonna do that and run more boost you will prob have to upgrade your Air Flow Meter as well. a Z32 AFM is used most of the time.

For 1/4 ile times, with a hiflow, FMIC, egzorst and Air filter you should be able to get to a low 14 at least! Mabye even a high to mid 13 if your lucky.

Hope this helps mate!

after looking on that site i figure this turbo sounds like the best upgrade

XTRGTST-S1

The factory Turbocharger on a Nissan Skyline R32/33 GTS-T is a Ball Bearing, T3 sized unit, with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit, GCG replace the ball bearing pack with a new one, while replacing the Turbine wheel and Compressor wheel with larger steel wheels, making the Turbocharger Hi-Flowed. The upgrade Turbocharger bolts directly back on the manifold with no modifications required, using the factory oil and water lines. After the Upgrade, the Turbocharger is rated 450hp.

Turnaround: 2-3 days.

Price: $1950.00

would this be a good idea and would it get me good quater mile times as that is what i am after. or are there better cheaper turbo's out there

obviously ill get gtr injectors fuel pump and ecu remap to suit.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
