The turbo is not a T3 it is a T28

The difference between series 1 and 2 turbos is series 2 have a plastic wheel, and series 1 have a ceramic wheel (i thing thats the exhaust wheel).

The standard cooler are CRAP

DOCTOR is correct.

The skyline turbo's (SKYLINE GTST anyway.. not the GTR) is a T3.

As for the wheels inside the turbo.

R32 GTST = T3, Steel blades on inlet, Ceramic blades on exhaust

R33 GTST series 1 = T3, Steel blades on inlet, Ceramic blades on exhaust.

R33 GTST series 2 = T3, Plastic blades on inlet, Ceramic blades on exhaust.

GTR's use 2 T28's.. don't know about the specs of the blades of the turbo.

Even though the R32 and R33 uses a T3 turbo housing the specs of the blades and the AR is different. You can usually make more power out of the T3 from the R33 engines..

Also, a lot of people don't like the idea of having a plastic wheel on the inlet side of the turbo as it is on the series 2 R33's.

The intercooler on the R33 is pretty useless if you start modifying.

I would say that once you do exhaust and filter on the R33's (or R32's for that matter), the intercooler is going to be on it's limit. And in Summer you are going to suffer a bit.

Did I miss anything?

GTR's use T25's, except for the 34, the 400R and N1's.

Are you sure the turbo's are T3's? Wouldn't make for much of an upgrade putting a T3 on then would it? And I know of 25t's that have done this.

Also, the spec2 turbo is stronger by virtue of the compressor being bonded to the shaft, not fitted.

There are different versions of T3's

Take the T3 from a VL turbo commodore for instance.. It can support more power than the T3 stuck to the RB20DET.

Or the T3 from the Ford Sierra's...

T3 only refers to the turbo housing.. it could have different blades on the inlet and exhaust side to produce more power.

So getting a T3 from a different car and having it on the RB25DET COULD be worth while.

Like alot of people do the upgrade of getting the T3 off the nissan VG30DET (old 300zx with the single turbo) and puting it on the RB20DET cause THAT T3 flows much better than the T3 on the Stock RB20DET.

If they werent T3 they would be an upgrade for a silvia etc but they are totally different and dont fit.

Doc

That could have something to do with the flange patterns being different.

Do you mean that the only turbo's that RB25 and RB20's can have, has to have a T3 exhaust?

Not at all, I've got a larger turbo than that... If you do decide to go larger, you just have to look at fabricating a new exhaust manifold, or have an adapter plate made so that you can fit the new manifold flange.

You'll also find that the dump and intake sides are both different too, so new piping will probably need to be made up on either side.

    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
    • Here's Logans Silvia with R32 Drivetrain, mine will be slightly lower (more angle). He was constantly blowing the RH axles at around 16deg. I want to avoid this.    
    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.
