Yes it's available in the T3 and if you buy the kit, it will bolt on to your existing T3 flang and front/dump pipe (whichever it is)

Comes with ALL lines gaskets, the works

If you're familiar with what you are doing, a one day job easy.

Why do people always think it's only T25?

"GT-RS" is the fancy HKS name for a Garrett GT2871R 52T - only with a HKS turbine housing in T25/28 or T3 flange . The one in that picture is the version with Garretts T25/28 flanged GT28 turbine housing .

The confusion with GT25/GT28 exists because what was once called a "GT25" turbine is now called a GT28 turbine or more specifically that 54mm 76T NS111 turbine . In todayspeak a GT2530 would be called a GT2830 , in fact the "GT2530" and GT-RS/GT2871R use the same identical turbine .

The "GT-RS" comes in two distinct versions like the GT2530 does - one for T28 flange apps ie CA18/SR20DET and another for RB20/25DET . The RB specific GT-RS has a custom port shrouded compressor housing because HKS knows they'll surge without it on an I6 .

The bottom line is if you want a conversion kit that goes bolt you'll need the HKS RB specific version . The reason is mainly because Garret have not manufactured an integral gate T3 flanged GT28 turbine housing let alone one with the RB dump flange pattern .

Some here have had their RB25 turbos housings reprofiled to suit a GT2871R and at least doing it this way the thing bolts back between the std manifild and dump flanges . You need custom oil and water fittings/lines then because Garretts GT BB turbos use different (smaller) ones than the Nissan/Hitachi turbos do .

There are a couple of other locally made turbine housings but I think the HKS one is the pick - given a choice .

Cheers A .

So to get a garrett gtrs onto my manifold and dump would be an expensive ordeal? Was only really looking at the garrett for the 1650 price tag. The hks version is over 2k and kinda more than i wanna spend.

Looks like i may be in for a gcg hiflow or even a slide...

The kit comes with every thing you need to convert from the stock turbo, water and oil lines to the GTRS turbo and ss water/oil lines.

Dont forget the kit comes with the Uprated adjustable acuator. Just shorten the shaft and once you get the psi you want your set. So no need for a boot controller.

Took me a bit over half a day to do the conversion myself and I am not a real fast worker when it comes to mechanical stuff.

The kit is a very ood bang for buck if you ask me.

Cheers mate!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
