hey guys i was really interested to know if anyone can double check for me if turbos from auto r33 gtst's are/look different to manua r33l gtst's?

i bought one and it looks like this.

now can someone tell me if this is an r32 gtst turbo or possibly an "auto r33 gtst" turbo.

i have heard this in a couple of cases where the auto r33 turbos look different to manuals but looks similar to r32 turbos but with bigger compressors or something along those lines? do series 1 or 2 matter also?

can anyone confirm?

fyi

the turbocharger on the auto and manual GTST (of the same model) is identical

ie nissan did not make different turbocharger models for auto and manual

they did, however, use a different actuator spring on the auto turbocharger

this is because the AUTO gtst runs less boost than manual from factory

from paulr33.com

ECR33 manual is 385mmhg which is 7.4446 psi

ECR33 auto is 270mmhg which is 5.220 psi

ah fair enough thanks for that paul. so this is no doubt a r32 gtst turbo?

here are some pics of the rear housing. bigger compressor then normal?

sorry about the crappy pics lol.

Ah awesome. Thanks for tht stao...its actually going on a rb20 so should be good. Thanks heaps...looks like I got bargain lol

you can, if you can drill out the oil restrictor on the hollow screw and the benjo. not recommended.

Thats what I have done, been running fine for over 3 years. You just have to be careful of how much you drill into the banjo, as it doesnt like too much or too little oil, esp if its journal bearing.

@paulr33 I beg to differ about the boost levels between the r33 auto and manual. I drive a auto, and before I put a boost controller on, it was boosting to around 7psi in high boost mode. Which should be just over halfway on the stock gauge.

I drive a auto, and before I put a boost controller on, it was boosting to around 7psi in high boost mode.

Says it all. High boost Mode would've had the stock solenoid hooked up which gives 2psi extra.

My car was auto from factory but converted to manual, boost was 5 & 7psi and 7psi with high boost mode.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
