my mate has an R33 Skyline GTR 2.6 twin turbo, So if i was to get the Garrett Gt28R what type of minor mods would be required? is the flange the same? And are the oil/water lines the same? And would the dump pipe of the GTR bolt straight up to the GT28R

cheers guys

Ive spent hours searching this site for specific technical data about all sorts of things. I spend more time using search than I do reading, its bloody anoying...

To answer the question the answer is no it wont bolt on. The T25 flanges are diferent. The distance between the bolt holes on the long side of the rectangle on the GT28R is longer than the GT2860R-5/7 turbo's.

The T25 flanges are exactly the same the difference between the -5's and -7's is the actualy inlet hole size in the exhaust housing -7's and -5's have a hole of 38mmx 45mm

the GT28R run 38mmx49mm

the flange bolt pattern on both is 73mmx40mm

they will bolt on to your manifolds so to speak.. however the dump pipe flange is different

water lines and oil lines would bolt up.. however i dont think the 28r has the 2 bolts on the compressor housing to match up with the factory water and oil line that loops around the core to make things easier(apprently)

you'd be much better getting a pair of -5's or -7's as they do bolt up with all the factory gear.. only thing that needs modifying is the oil drain as the holes are closer together from memory however the oil drain issue would be the same with the gt28r

dont think ive missed anything..

I was pretty sure that the GT28R is actually called GT2560R by Garrett. This is the turbo the was the factory turbo on S15's and is also know as a T28BB.

The GT2860RS is the disco potato and is an upgrade to the GT28R.

You GTR boys might call your turbo's by different generic names than us Silvia boys.

From my understanding -7 and -5 are the last digits in the part numbers and are both gt2860r. Disco Potato was basically the first turbo in the GT series which was created because of the success of this turbo. Also I dont believe that an S15 turbo could be a gt series turbo because GT series did not even come out until after s15 had been in production at least a few years. I am pretty sure the s15 turbo is just a strait ball bearing T series.

T series = old tech.

GT series = new tech.

As far as whether the GT28r's will bolt up I would say yes with the reservation that you may need to swap in a couple R34 oil drain fittings. On garretts website it says the 2860s (-5 and -7) will bolt directly onto an R34 gtr. As far as the inlet on the compressor side they do have the same 2 bolt threaded holes as a 33. I think that rb26s13 is refering to gt2871r's and gt2876r's when he says they do not have the threaded holes because they do not

One thing is that the 2860s are the only gt28r's that do bolt up. the 2871s and 2876s will not bolt up. From my understanding 2860s are essentially N1 turbos using slightly newer technology.

Here is a link to the -5 on garretts website.

Hmm....is that true??

im not reffering to the 2871r's and 2876's

GT series turbos have been around for quite a while now however recently majority of the turbos got name changes and wat not.. i'll reply a bit better later if someone else doesnt clear up wat im getting at before than..

The JDM S15 100% had a GT2560R turbo that the layman calls a T28BB and GT28R. It's the domestic market that had the plain bearing T28.

Here's a quote directly from the Garrett website;

Turbochargers > GT25 Family > GT2560R - 466541 - 1

* Ball bearing turbocharger

* Oil & Water-cooled bearing system

* Internally wastegated turbine housing

* OEM turbocharger on Nissan SR20DET engine

* Upgrade turbocharger for 471171-3; outline interchangeable except compressor inlet

* T25 turbine inlet flange

* Great size for applications w/ packaging constraints

* Ideal for smaller displacement engines making up to 330 hp

As for the the GT2871R they have the same housings as the turbo mentioned above and only the wheels are different so i can't see that they won't bolt up because externally they are identical. I personally have just changed my turbo from a GT28R (GT2560R) to a GT2871R 52T and they are 100% identical from the outside.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
