T3 Turbo....

[DJ984]

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.

T28????

I know it's a T3 flange, so I don't think it could be a T28.

[DJ984]

I don't know eh.... can someone help?

[ScarifieR]

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

[nitemare5]

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]

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?

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.

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]

11-12secs = lots of money..... just look at how much RNZ-11S has spent

[stimps]

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]

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.

[unwritten law]

i thought the s13's have a t25g? (for a sr20det)

[TrevR32GTS-T]

You might be right. My friend had t28 on his homemade sileighty.

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.

[DJ984]

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?

[DJ984]

T04?

[Revhead]

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

[DJ984]

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]

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.
