Hi all

I've finally got around to installing my hks gtrs turbo on my GTT and I'm unsure of which ports in it are oil feed and water feed and drain. Could anyone please confirm which ports these are?

Also if anyone could confirm which ports are oil and water feed on my engine block/bay that would also be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers

Hmm.

I'll be nice.

There are 2 water ports.

There is one drain.

There is one oil inlet.

The drain is larger than the inlet. You can even look at your old turbo as they are the same oil and water setup.

Good luck.

Sorry I'm fully aware that there's both a water feed and drain and oil feed and drain (I'm not that dumb). It's obvious which one the oil drain is but I'm not 100% sure which the other 3 are as there are no markings or diagrams I can find on the internet. Just asking on here for clarification as I don't want to destroy a hks turbo from getting the oil and water feeds mixed up. I posted that at 1:30 in the morning so sorry for not making myself clear

Looking at the turbo again on the top and bottom are 2 thicker lines

And on the sides are 1 smaller line and the oil drain

Safe to assume the smaller one is the oil feed and the thicker line at the top is water feed ?

It gonna sound harsh but if you cant figure that out you should think twice about your ability to fit it properly... anyone can bolt things together but if you dont understand why it often runs into issues later on.

Sorry I posted this asking for confirmation as I thought someone would know. Would like to be 100 % sure about something before I do it to my car, not. 99%. I've figured out the oil feed and just want to makes sure I don't mix up the water ones

Also I'm referring to the positioning of the inlets in respect to the pictures that I uploaded. When I say top I'm referring to the inlet at the top of the photo etc. thought what I was saying was pretty straight forward ..

Was just trying to sort out which is the inlet and outlet for water as I thought it had to go in a specific way but it's all sorted now. Found out it's dependent on the angle of the turbo and nothing to do with the internals or anything

It's not really even dependent on the angle of the turbo. Given that the oil definitely has a top and a bottom (ie, drain on the bottom) that means that the water definitely is located on each side. Sure, if the turbo is cocked over on an angle then one water connection will be higher than the other.....but there's little enough difference in that height to justify saying that one or the other must be the inlet. A hot turbo will thermosiphon forwards or backwards just as happily once the engine is shut off, and it hardly matters if the water is going the normal direction or the opposite direction under those circumstances.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
