Hey guys...

I am under the impression that R32 GTS-t runs a T28?

If so, would a T3 be a straight bolt on?

If so, how much boost can a T3 safely run?...

How much am I looking at for a T3?

How much for the conversion? Any other parts i need to plan for straight up?

Are there people on this forum that can help me do the conversion ourselves (safely and for a small fee ofcourse)...?

If none of the above can someone fill me in?

Thanks heaps...

Dave.

Dont go looking to get a turbo to run a certain boost figure, look for a turbo that supports the sort of cfm/power you are after.

Simply running 19ps doesnt equate to a quick car, with the wrong turbo it could easily equate to high inlet temps and a cooked engine.

So perhaps a better way of going about it is deciding the power you are after, and then what turbo best suits that level using the lowest possible boost, whilst still providing good response.

I run 14 psi and its a 12 second car. 19psi means nothing. Its the flow and effeciency that counts.

The turbo from a R33 is not a T28

but its niether a T3, yet its a T3 bolt pattern!

confusing? it gets better, Nissan bought about 5 different series of these turbochargers, from garrett, but they are all ceramic, and Ball bearing (even the GTR ones) and all the R33 ones can have on the cover, 45v1, 45v2, or 45v3 or 45v4, and I have ever heard of 45v5. What that means? Dunno...

So the best way to refer to these turbos (by the way they are the biggest factory nissan turbo you can get, and pretty damn good performance too) is "a RB25DET turbo"....theres simply no better way to avoid problems.

I went to get a turbo from someone once and found myself looking at a T28 from a S14. I wasnt impressed heheh:P

My car is a VL with a RB25det with two of these turbos on custom manifolds. Boost hits like a mac truck at 3800rpm and gives awesome power delievery. I run 1 bar boost (approx, its actually set atm on 1.05kg/cm) and there is no problems with the ceramic wheels.

R32 has a t3 turbo (fast spool up)

r33 has a t25 turbo (slow spool up)

s13, s14, and s15 has a t28 turbo (go up to 1.1 bar on a stock silvia.

You can use a t28 (uses a t3 flange). you have to get a differant outlet and mod the inlet, also add tap on the outlet to the intercooler. cheep upgrade.

Hi stimps, well said, boost is irrelevant, air flow makes power, boost is a measurement of restriction to airflow. So more boost can mean that the engine is inefficient, not that it makes more power.

Only one correction on the Nissan turbos, Nissan owned the tooling and Garret made the turbos. But around R34 time Nissan tendered their turbo supply out for turbos to be made using the Nissan owned tooling. Hitachi won the tender, so the later turbos are actually made by Hitachi using Nissan tooling originally made for Nissan by Garrett.

Confusing, huh?

I bolted up a T3 to my 33's stock exhaust manifold etc. It's not quite a bolt-in affair, but it's about as close as you're going to get without buying a 'kit' for your car.

Yeah I know you said 32, but the only step-by-step I have is for my R33, so that's what you get :P

I thought the RB20 exhaust manifold was the same as the RB25 one? The turbo and space to the strut tower etc is no doubt different but similar rules should apply.

You should be able to run 12s with the stocker if it's well tuned. 4Doorz on here has a FMIC and home-tuned PFC on his 33 and he broke into the 12s, I image with less torque but also less weight with a 32 you could do something similar. That said, a bigger turbo will make it far more easy :)

Yeah... and the turbo's getting old too.... although i know it's still running perfect, it can't hurt to upgrade to a new one when i save some funds....

SO how much would i be looking at for a T04? then how much to install?...

who should i talk to? ADVAN?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
