Title: RE: What Turbo????

RB25DET (R33 skyline):

  • Same size as the VG30DET unit above
  • Ceramic exhaust turbine wheel
  • Carbon composite compressor wheel
  • Roller bearing centre
  • this is text regarding bolting it on a CA
  • This is quite an advanced piece of equipment. It was designed to give the fastest transient response possible. On its original fitment it makes its entire boost by 1900rpm. It's undersized for its intended purpose but makes an excellent fitment on the CA. The biggest issue here is the Carbon composite compressor wheel, which is basically plastic. I have heard stories of the compressor wheel flying apart at anything over about 15psi on a large engine. I limit this unit to 14psi. Very high quality filtration is also a must. These turbos aren't exactly bolt-ons and require fabricated plumbing, new dump pipe and modified manifold. But given the cost, the fact that they are reasonably available and the end result, they are pretty good value.

    They are water cooled, ceramic, ball bearing T3's.  I am not sure when nissan started using ball bearing turbos, but I am pretty sure that all R33's got them.
