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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
