G'day guys,

I'm after some info on the 2876r. yes i know it is a shit turbo, its not good for anything and all the rest.

but i have it and its sitting in the shed (yes most ppl well say leave it there). it has the t25 housing on it and seeing if it is possible to fit a standard skyline R33 turbo housing on to it?? as i wanted to bolt it up to my 33. reason i wanted to use the standard housing is because i have a CES dump/front pipe i wanted to keep.

Cheers Phil.

my bro just upgraded to a SS2 hypergear and used to have a 2876 with 0.64 HKS rear, although most will say its a shit turbo, it went pretty hard from my experience, he ran it on 12psi and was

doing consistent flat 13sec quarters with a HKS hi power silent exhaust, id estimate 230kw, started pulling at 3500rpm and got a bit crazy 6000-7000rpm, not

great I know, but it was fun.

It went harder than my 2871 hiflow in stock housings, suprising but was surging like crazy and eventually started smoking which led to the upgrade to SS2, with an antisurge

comp housing I wondered wether it could of lasted longer but in comparison to a stock turbo I think it was a decent turbo but not ideal, just my observation.

Cheers for the replies but still don't help me. lol i know a hiflow or a 3071/76 would be better. but i don't have either of them. I'm not looking at spending much money on this thing as it is my daily. have the 2867 with the t25 housing as it was on my 180. and it was a lag monster didn't make full boost till 5200. lol my cams didn't help it either have 264's in it.

i didn't want to take my standard turbo off if the housing won't fit the 76 i believe it should as they are both t28.

cheers again.

Surely by the time you send the the POS to be disassembled, machined, reassembled, shipped back, installed you might as well find the $800 for a hiflow that will urinate all over what you are proposing.

If you can't afford to buy a half way decent turbo then why bother? Keeping the stock turbo on there makes more sense.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
