Boyz and girlz of all ages, I have a quick question...

The Stock turbo on a R33 Skyline.. how good is it really.

How much boost can be reached threw it at a safe level and what steps are needed to do that?

a T3 turbo, is it a stright bolt on to the RB25DET?

the other day I turned the boost slightly up to 10psi.

sometime when i give it, the car sergues?? anyone knows whats up?

Thankx guys :cheers:

The stock turbo is prone to lamination on the exhaust wheel and can disintergrate but sayin that I dont know how many have done this or when it will occur.

With a stock intercooler 10psi is pushing the intercooler's flow rate and could/most probably be why your are getting surges.

To run high boost pressures you will have to upgrade the intercooler at least, if not your fuel system as well and a engine management system to do it properly. the last two struggle to run your engine at above standard settings and can result in detonation due to lean running.

As to the T3 I dont know but am interested to find out as I am looking for a bolt on higher flowing turbo.

search...

but yes t3 is the same size (same flange)

as for boost level have said this a few times now. A lot of us have been running 12psi for ages on stock turbo.

I have been running mine on 12 for 2 years.

r33, remapped 32 comp, exst, fmic, no idea of any internals, stock turbo

216wrkw last dyno. (tuning tool only)

Dont do it with stock everything else other wise you will get boost cut.

i got a Front mount cooler, just need to install it. I'm thinkin about a piggy back computer? apexi AVCR or a SAFC, will these help wit the mapin go the fule and air??

The safc will help with your fuel and air mix when tuned properly. See a reputable tuner. The AVCR will not map air and fuel it is a boost controller.

the fuel pump and injectors will do nothing, as it will be a waste of money.

Fuel pump if you are going to push more than 180rwkw out of it.

The surge will be it boost cutting. You'll find that even though you are running 10psi of boost, it'll either have a restriction somewhere, or you'll be spiking and hitting the boost cut (which hits at 12psi) and doing to good old rich and retard.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
