DJ984 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 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.

ed Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 T28???? I know it's a T3 flange, so I don't think it could be a T28. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33365-t3-turbo/#findComment-669127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarifieR Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 its just a small T3 flanged turbo bigger turbos to put on are these cheapies R33 and VG30 turbos expensive best 1's hks2530 or 2540 or td06 but all in all it depends what u wanna use it for Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33365-t3-turbo/#findComment-669205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitemare5 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 i dont why you would bother with the T3, they are old technology turbos. turbos of good choice for quick spool up are what scar said, the hks 2530's or a cheaper alternative the r33 turbo.

DJ984 Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Alright... I wanna run about 19PSI in the future.... which i'm guessing means injectors, fuel pump, etc etc.... just though a T3 would be a good bolt on application.... so how much am i looking at for a bolt on turbo to suit over 19PSI?

Roy Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 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.

DJ984 Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Roy: I thought of this right after i'd posted and saw someone's sig with low 1/4's at 13PSI... I wanna get 11-12 sec 1/4s... what should i be looking for? How much should i be saving?

Sumo Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 11-12secs = lots of money..... just look at how much RNZ-11S has spent Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33365-t3-turbo/#findComment-669562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimps Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 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.

TrevR32GTS-T Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 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.

TrevR32GTS-T Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 You might be right. My friend had t28 on his homemade sileighty. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33365-t3-turbo/#findComment-669824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneykid Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 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?

Revhead Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Try here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=30556 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.

DJ984 Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hey guys... i said R32.... not 33. So, what i understand so far is: I already have a T3 on my R32 GTS-t (Trev). so what's a good upgrade then? or can i pull 12's with the stock?

Revhead Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yeah I know you said 32, but the only step-by-step I have is for my R33, so that's what you get 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33365-t3-turbo/#findComment-670636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ984 Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 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?

Morgs Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 T04E / Manifold / External Gate TD06-(20G) / Manifold / Extenral Gate HKS GT2530 VG30 T3 + Highflow They're all the options i'd be looking at. Each have their merits. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33365-t3-turbo/#findComment-670706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
