hey again...

Ok i've been doin some research and i've learnt that the r33 gtst's

came out with a medium sized t25/t3 turbo? i assume thats correct?

Also i've read that the t28 turbo which i pressume is a larger more powerful turbo

came out on the silvias from s14 up???

From the info i've read, i gather that the t28 has the same 5 bolt exhaust housing as that

on the rb25 turbo. Aswell as a t3 flange??? Can someone confirm?

Therefore, if i was to get a high flow turbo for my r33 gtst, would i be better off using the

t28 over the standard r33 turbo? has anyone done this etc?

does it just bolt straight in?

Im well aware that theres probably heaps of threads on this already, but when i run searches

the results dont show much in the way of posts that answer this questions.

If someone could confirm that would be fantastic.

Thanks

Guesty.

Do you know whats involved in hi-flowing a turbo?

The housings are machined out... and quite a bit.

So the actual "size" is changed quite substancially.

Use the R33 GTS-t turbo for hi-flowing

only ask cause i was offered a high flowed t28

wanted 2 know whether 2 get it cheaper

or just high flow mine

SR20's manifold flange run a different flange to the RB25s.

So... you would need to change rear housing, and then have your rear housing (if it was actually bolt on, and im unsure of this) machined to suit

or have an adaptor flange plate laser cut so it would bolt to the R33 manifold.

Lot of rooting around for a second hand turbo

I can't remember the actual compressor housing size of a t28 as compared to a rb20 turbo housing but one thing is for sure...it can handle more boost than the shitty ceramic dinosaur rb20 turbos and will make more power too...

if your gonna go a t28 get one off an s15, they r newer and they r ball bearing s14 ones are not ball bearing it only a small thing but very noticeable

On the contrary...only jap spec s14 and s15 t28s are bb...the aussie delivered s15s and s14 t28s are bush bearing...

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
