Hey all, just after some advice with a turbo centre ive aquired. im changing my turbo on my rb20 in my r32 from the kkr style turbo thats in it now to something more responsive. I have already purchased an r34 gtt turbo with the op6 housing that i will be using in the mean time, however i have a garrett centre part number, 466541-4. or more commonly know as a gt2560r/gt28r. anyone know what housing i need for this centre? is it possible to use the housings on the r34 turbo? maybe another housing? any help will be much appriciated as im new to playing with turbos.

cheers, sam

We can machine your OP6 housings to suit a Garrett GT2860RS Disco core which makes it very similar to a HKS2530. Would max around 220rwkws with plenty of response on road. Since its a .63 rear you also might want to use a 52T GT2871R CHRA, which gives that little bit of extra power and torque.

Most people find the BB VG30 turbo laggy on RB20's mainly because its turbine housing is intended for an engine half as big again and its not like your going to rev an RB20 50% higher .

Also note that Nissan used that larger Hitachi turbine housing on RB25 Neo's but they had a more sophisticated variable cam drive system (than R33s) to help keep the dynamic compression ratio up at low revs .

As far as I know RB20s didn't get VCT so using a large turbine housing is going to make the turbo pretty lazy on them .

As I mentioned elsewhere I think a re-machined Hitach RB25's turbine housing , which is a little larger internally than the RB20s one would give a bit more flow area and allow you to make a bit more power without excessive turbo lag .

BTW I KNOW the 25 housing is a little larger than a 20's one because I have all three sizes here and measured them internally .

They don't look a whole lot different but they are and I know it to be fact .

RB25 turbo bits are common and cheap so I'd use an RB25 housing as a first try . Its the next size up from what you have and has the best chance of not being a laggy pig on a two liter six cylinder .

Your call , cheers A .

so with all this in mind, if i was to send my rb25 op6 housings to be machined to fit the 466541-4 would it be a worthwhile upgrade for my rb20 or would i be better off keeping with just the standard rb25 turbo. my main concern is that ive been told that the rb25 turbo still has the ceramic turbine wheel. sorry for all the questions.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
