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.

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
