4828,s pictured with expreme manifolds someone was intending on bolting on a rb26........

seen this picture before, is it from a for sale thread lmaybe ?

Anyways, I bet they are not since I wasnt able to find any info about them on a skyline/rb platform.

7675 comp covers.

gt42 style vs hp.

different surge porting.

different outlet.

is the 42 really worth an extra $700?

im assuming they would have the same comp wheels.

anyone had a play with them?

Was leaning toward the EFR 83/74.. but my mechanic told me th journal bearing shouldn't be any laggier/sluggish than the same turbo with DBB. what,s your take on this for a 6262 ? With the journal worth 1100$, its a 1100$ +tax/duties saving over an EFR, it's worth considering haha :)

Its a matter of you get what you pay for.. Most guys in here are using the DBB option and paying over $2000 a turbo. I think it would be naive to a degree to expect to obtain the same results with a turbo half the price. Whilst I have no doubt their Journal Bearing option will still be ok, If i purchased one I wouldnt expect the same results as the DBB ones.

This is what I though too, but since I have high regards for my mechanic and some drift driver sponsored/great deal by PTE use his mechanic service so I thought his opinion about PTE turbos should be right. so MAYBE... journal bearing improved a lot in the last few years... I don't know lol.. this got me confused, but tbh, if I'm going to pay 2000$ for a PTE DBB, I might as wel bite the bullet on the efr I think :)

You are over-thinking it, the turbocharger should be sized appropriately (using a compressor map) to your engine... bearing type should be one of the last considerations.

Put it this way, I bought a Borg Warner S366 which has very similar size and design turbine and compressor wheels as a EFR9180 but is journal bearing and doesn't have the fancy material compressor wheel, wanky & ugly (IMO) BOV in the compressor housing. Cost me all of $750.00, flows the air that I need at the required pressure ratio.

It's twin scroll divided housing vs open. GT42 style also has a larger comp cover, that's the difference.

can get both with a t4 divided rear.

gt42 with 0.96, 1.12, 1.22 options.

hp with 0.81 and 0.96 options.

the exhaust outlet is bigger on the gt.

gt42 is obviously a larger front cover.

but, considering the same rear housing (0.96), would there be any difference to spool time or outlet temps?

has anyone done back to back testing?

I know an awesome tuner that now loves bolting precisions onto RB's and adding some E85 and some other magic and numbers happen :yes:

Hi Noy

Been waiting to see what the end result was. Any updates or did I miss it?

I am having PT6262 CEA SP installed this week

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
