Picking up my new. well not so new 1993 R33 GTS 5 speed manual Tomorrow

and then going to be picking up a mates R33 gtst Engine. to use all the bits and pieces of that for my build

Thinking of putting the RB25det Head on my rb25de this way till have the bigger injectors and what not for the Turbo. ill then be mounting the turbo(Undecided yet) up the back of the car located either behind the diff or somewhere else. i will research and think of a good place for it.

Ill then be designing the piping for the intake on the turbo. compressed air piping run up back to the engine bay into the bottom of the air box and ran into the manifold. making the engine bay appear normal. I will then run the oil feed and return liens down to the back of the engine. but on the return line i will have a Scavenger pump pumping oil to the sump to prevent back up in the turbo and keep it all flowing nicely.

Im going to be taking alot of pictures and getting ideas ready for this project to get underway within the next few weeks.


ECU wise. i need an opinion. im getting the r33 gtst ecu. would i be able to just simply swap that ecu instead of mine then be able to run stock boost.(ill be taking it to a tuner) would it be safe to run until i got it tuned or would it need a tune asap once ive got it all installed. as im goign to build all the mounts and piping over a few months. get it all ready then put it all together over one weekend.

FEEDback will eb much appreciated thanks

Please no hate i got the cash to do it and am on Ps for another 3 years so dont say its a stupid idea. and dont say the turbo will be laggy as f**k. ive researched this. before you judge do some research on the rear mounts. :)

​Il also post pictures of my skyline :)

Has to be a troll... Is it school holidays again lol?

It is a stupid idea and let me tell you why. Use your brain here buddy.

Even if police dont see it, if you crash your car ALL OF your insurance is void. Every last bit of it. Have fun paying for all the damage to the cars or people involved. If someone looses an arm, a leg or dies, youre going to be paying that off for life.

Just putting a 25det on a 25de block doesnt work that way...

Sounds like you have done no research and are just talking crap lol.

The only room for a rear mount would be at the rear muffler too, have fun hiding that. Remember these are low cars. Feeding another set of piping back for the return pipe will not be easy. It would have to be a high car.

The only reason anyone would want to do this is to hide it, but thats what P platers dont get. Even if you can hide it, all it takes is one crash or one half smart police officer to realise what you have done and boom youre over.

Save your money till you're older. Take it from me, I had all these wild ideas when I was younger too. In two weeks I get off my P's.

sounds like a cool build, just put the turbo on the roof, that way you'll get some awesome cold air and more power, will pull like a train!! im following this build man!!

can you imagine how loud the "dose" will be? fuarkkk

I see pigeons, pigeons eveywhere

Yeh Owen, 280kw at around 12psi I think, running United e85. Lag is non existent with the .82 rear GT35. Quite a different car to drive now. lol.

The carpet is back in the boot, engine bay is stock. Very stealth.

I'll just put this here... Works well. Stealth as faurk.

Dooeeet. :P

That's pretty faarking awsome..!!!.

Where the intake?

It would be very tempting to weld up a slip jointed closed exhaust tube to run from the engine pipe to the muffler- just to hide the pipe work going into the boot.

... how hot does the carpet get?

Love it!

Not much warmer in there than it was stock on a warm day, it gets good ventilation, I was going to cut more vents and perhaps get a small fan or two but there was no need. The carpet barely gets warm due to the heat shield I made, and all the wrapping/beanie.

The turbo doesn't get very hot anyway as it's 4M from the engine, even on the dyno...

That was what he wanted Owen, but I told him it is instant defect, and there is no way to get decent pipes through past the motor, unless you want to ditch aircon etc. A lot of thought and design work went into it before we decided on this setup, believe me.

Yep, I fitted a scavenge pump off the drain and fed the oil from the engine oil pressure switch. The only issue was, being a gt35, it needed two restrictors to lower the oil pressure, and stop blowing oil out the turbo seals.

The water was fed from the engine too, to the turbo and gate. The water lines needed to be large as otherwise not much water would flow. It was just easier than running dedicated rear mount water and oil setups with separate pumps and coolers. Looking back I probably should have gone with an oil cooled ceramic bearing Precision turbo.

    • 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.
