hi all im new to sau hopefully this is in the right section,

ill get straight to the point,

i bought a r33 which has been fully rebuilt 2000ks ago forged internals, plenum, high mount manifold, hybrid or garrett turbo cant remember what it is, apexi fc, hybrid fmic, coilovers, fuel reg, 044 pump, been told by the owner it had a GTR oil pump fitted when rebuilt, now i bought the car without hearing it as the owner pulled the head off, yes i know stupid thing to do but i got this r33 cheap... cheaper then buying a 6boost plenum and high mount manifold...

now the old owner said reason why he pulled the head off is because he started to low oil pressure (cluster gauge) took it to the engine builder not sure if he checked it over but anyways told the owner the cluster gauges always stuff out common problem anyways, the old owner said that the car lost all power like it wasnt making boost...

now nothing has been said about a drive collar been put on the crank for the GTR oil pump do you believe the pump has shit its self and thats why it had no oil pressure and now stuffed the motor?

i have spoken to the engine builder and he hasnt said boo about a drive collar fitted...

old owner story always changed he was also on rev limiter when it f**ked out... my guess is oil pump shit it self

i will be pulling the motor apart to inspect just thought ill throw this up

Why a GTR pump fitted to a to a RB25 crankshaft, sounds pretty stupid.

They are the same factory pump anyway.

I'm guessing he means N1

A quick search is all that's required to know to stay the hell away from those pieces of shit.

Thanks guys, so hopefully it has a "GTR" oil pump in it like the engine builder says it does therefore likely hood of it f**king out like the N1 is pretty slim, engine builder said the gtr pump cost $1000 so I'm not sure if it a n1 oil pump guess I gotta wait to pull it apart fingers crossed bottom end is fine

Anyways I do believe its a n1 oil pump as he said it was a upgrade from a standard pump and seeing as n1 pumps are high flow... So guess the crank doesn't have a collar and now has scored the bearings and crank

Thank you, so my tale on this engine is that, oil pump has fail due to engine builder not doing what is required with fitting a n1 pump which has now (guessing) f**ked the bottom end

You wont really know for sure until you rip it apart, which I recommend is the next thing you do.

If you pull it all apart you might find some simple issues and can salvage the remainder of the built motor.

If you make an assumption that the problem is X Y or Z and try to fix that you could just be in for more headaches and lose the rest of the goodies the motor has to offer.

Thanks for your advise, I am deff stripping the motor down to find out what went wrong, head is already off just gotta strip the block now

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
