I sort of burned myself recently getting a hybrid Garrett GT BB turbo made up for the old dinosaur Subie daily - mainly because of something I didn't previously know .

In the past there has been confusion over what the differences were between GT25xxR turbos and GT28xxR ones .

How it works is that the GT25 turbine based ones use an older style 53mm major diameter 11 bladed 62 trim turbine .

The GT28 ones use a 53.8mm major diameter 9 bladed turbine in either 62 or 76 trim . For some obscure reason I'd always thought the 53.8mm 62T one was just a slightly enlarged version of the GT25's 53mm 62T one but that's not the case . I will find out later today but ATM I think the GT28 62T turbine may be a smaller trim version of the 76T NS111 turbine and most likely why the 28's small trim turbine has higher efficiency numbers than the same trim GT25 turbine .

Now this GT28 62T turbine I believe is std in the GT2854R and GT2859R/GTSS and the GT2860R-7 . What I had built was a GT2554R with the GT28 76T turbine fitted and its proving laggy on yon dinosaur flatulence four . I'd say its got a bit too much turbine for my engines exhaust gas flow so its not spinning the compressor wheel fast enough to make boost where I need it engine speed wise .

Anyhow I found a few pics of the bum end of a GT2860R-7 and a GTR spec GTSS/GT2859R so you'll know what this GT28 62T turbine looks like . Highly unlikely but if anyone has a trashed one with a usable turbine let me know .

Added two right hand pics of the old style GT25 62T 11 bladed turbines , note they can have hex head or three point stars on their centers for tightening/stripping .

Cheers A .

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
