hi guys, i'm in the process of choosing a turbo for my r33.

I'm 99% sure that it will be out of two, gt30 or gt2871r.

current mods are zorst, pod, pfc, hd clutch, bov, fmic.

injecters are on the way as is z32 afm.

i brushed off the idea of a hi-flow as in the future i may up-grade internals.

I'm aiming for 250atw or a bit more.

Is the gt30 going to be too laggy for my set-up?

Is the gt2871r in 440hp form going to be enough to get me to 250 without straining?

currently i have 200rwkw from my rb25.

I'm a bit confused after reading the dyno results threads... info overload!!

thanks simon

whats your target budget? how much do u plan on spending on tyres / suspension / diff changes to help get traction? do u want it come to come on like a bitch on heat or dont mind some lag? do u care how it looks in the engine bay?

hi, paulr33.... my budget is about 5g's. i don't really care how the engine bay looks but i'll try to keep it neat. My mate does power coating in melb so that adds a little colour.

I have 19/40/245 on all 4's and would like the car not to be too laggy. What do you suggest i do about the diff?

I thought pinapples and a hicas lock bar but havn't gotten around to doing those yet.

thanks for the help!

r31- thanks for the tip. I'm not sure if i read those or not it gets tiring after so much reading!

chaos- is the t78 water and oil cooled? I read that the garrett bb ones are and was choosing one because of reliability.

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
