this may sound like a very noob question but looking at turbo in cars eg: a 1996 R33 Series 2 M-Spec pic here seen from another thread http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/6976/rbdetfi6.jpg and a 1997 Series 2 gtst pic here http://users.bigpond.net.au/vel83/s2.jpg . Where is the turbo located in the 1997 skyline? I can see the 1996 turbo in the front but it cannot be seen in the 1997 one?

BWAHAHAHA

i've said this before and i'll say it again, anyone that doesnt know the BASICS about how/what a turbo does/is and the same for a motor go to www.howstuffworks.com and look it up. "Theres no such thing a stupid question, just stupid people"

the stock turbo is just on the left under the engine. if you look hard enough , you can see the ceramic bearings.

no offence mate but what the hell are you on?? Facing the front of the car the turbo is on the right hand side of the engine and ceramic bearings?? Show me how to look that hard that i will see ceramic bearings you've totally lost me...

The turbo is hidden by a heatshield, unless its been removed.

To see your turbo you can put your head under the car and look at it from there. Pretty easy to find, just follow your exhaust :unsure:

theres a difference between someone that doesnt know alot about cars and asking a simple questions to someone whos strong point obviously doesnt include engines/turbos and trying to answer a question with no knowledge.

I'm all for people asking simple questions, but theres no point someone replying to a question if they dont know the basics, thats how stupidity is spread...

Buy magazines like Fast fours/HPI/Speed etc and learn, they will have heaps of stuff showing you turbo's and FMIC's etc then you will know. Don't worry about ppl dissing you, they all get/got it in the neck when they started out as well. They just forget how hard it can be. The import/turbo car is a world of difference to the domestic V8, sometimes you'd think we are talking a new language when topics with lag, spikes, boost, ebc, fmic, hks, jun, hicas, etc etc are happening. But we all look and listen.

I mean look what happened here with your question, other ppl answered [trying to be helpful] and they got it wrong as well, so your not alone. In fact I'd reckon 95% of Australia has SFA of an idea about imports so your just part of the vast majority BUT at least your willing to learn and change that.

PS Sometimes - if the question is a bit simple or embarassing - its better to PM somebody and get a private message back with an answer, that way you find out and nobody else knows you asked.

By the way, there is a really good section on the turbobygarrett web site 101, 102 and 103. They will tell you heaps about turbo's and how they work etc.

Stupidity spreading is true though.

When i FIRST had my car, someone popped the hood (who knew squat) and pointed to the charcoal filter thingy near the air box and went WOW! you;ve got an aftermarket BOV !

I believed him cause i thought he knew more than me, said it to another 'line owner and they sure gave me a funny look !

Hahaha at myself :domokun:

But yes you have to learn.

I've since looked up how to do an oil change and done it. (so stupid thinking back, but hey i didn't know and someone was kind enough to post a thread)

And soon afterwards was the sparkies.

and zen, installed my own FMIC, injectors, EBC, Z32 and i think these are worthy successes :)

Yeh, I can remember seeing my first ABS and thinking what a dumb place to locate the injector pump [ah la deisel].

Since then I've got a shed full of tools, spanners, welders, air compressors, and do everything I can myself - in the middle of a turbo upgrade atm, only problem is juggling life, bikes, and cars, but I'll get it finished soon now.

But like ^^^^Birnie, done heaps of my own mods and still doing them - but we all started somewhere!!!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
