(Not my car) Boost curve will depend on what kind of boost control you have. For more results trawl though the RB25 turbo upgrade section at the top of this page. A number of people post with non-upgraded turbos...post-20742-1143423396.jpg

I was picking on your weird English.  Marvelling <> wondering.

But to answer the question....What are you trying to do?  If you are just asking about putting an OP6 housing onto an R33 turbo, and doing nothing else, then don't waste your time.  There's no point doing ANYTHING to stock turbos.

If you're talking about using an OP6 housing to build a highflow from.....then given that the only two parts that are kept when highflowing an RB's turbo are the comp and turbine housings, then what you're really asking is "what is the performance difference between an R33 and an R34 highflow?".  In which case there are a million bits of information available on here that already answer that question.  You should look at the Hypergear thread and his website to see what the difference is.

I think the most practical way to look at these OP6 Turbos is that the factory used them as part of a system to make better overall performance than the R33 RB25DET spec engine did . They made a completely new cylinder head and valve train , altered cam specs and changed the inlet manifold as well . Bore stroke and static compression ratio are the same . The bigger turbine housing they already had from the four cam single BB turbo VG30DET .

You should look up the standard power outputs for R33 and R34 spec RB25DETs and note the torque peaks but more importantly where they occur in the rev ranges . Don't quote me but I think with the R33 version the torque peak was up near 5000 revs where the R34 version was more like in the low 3000s . To me it looks like Nissan wanted more lowish and part throttle torque in the R34 engine and achieved that without a low turbo boost threshold or onset if you like . Things like higher air speeds through a slightly smaller runner diameter inlet manifold possibly with a smaller volume plenum chamber . Cams with a bit more lift and a bit less duration which would increase the cylinders trapping efficiencies .

When you can make more low end torque you can afford to raise the boost threshold with things like larger turbine housings - which have advantages higher up . You wouldn't achieve the same thing on an otherwise standard R33 spec RB25DET by only substituting the OP6 turbine housing or complete turbo . I imagine you would start to open a dip in the torque curve by having boost start later .

Nissan would have been looking for cleaner exhaust emissions for a late 90s car and I also think the R34 GTt may have been slightly heavier than the R33GTS25T .

Given a choice you would always start with an R34 engine but rebuilding an R33 with the R34 spec rods pistons and head should give the best of both . Staying with the R33 inlet means all the plumbing and most electricals can stay the same . From memory just need to rejig the CAS wiring and change cam solenoid plugs .

This is really only economically viable if your engine needs a rebuild or you can't quite justify an RB30 conversion .

Happy New Year!

Thanks for the input.

Background is that I have a new hybrid turbo with the 21U housing.

It's a prototype and for me to test.

 

Since I have an unused OP6 turbo I was 'marvelling' if there were any merits in changing the 21U for the OP6.

 

Picture one is Hybrid vs OP6

Picture two is OEM vs Hybrid

Hello,

I found the first dyno run I ever had with my (back then) standard GTST. Only mod was an installed boost controller to the standard turbo.

HP figure is at the engine. Torque max is at 3700rpm

So from what you're writing I understand that the OP6 exhibits more lag but this is offset by the different design of the head/runner/cams?

The current hybrid I have installed maxes out at 260RKW, I'm not sure but I suspect this is also due to the restrictive 21U housing?

(that's basically why I am looking at the OP6)

If you want a bolt on hybrid turbo Hypergear makes a number of great turbos. Have a read through his thread.

Yep, that's still an option ...thing is that I'm in the UK and postage/import duty would make things expensive.

At prices half that of some Garrett turbos freight and duties will mean they are still competitively priced and a lot of RB focused research has gone into them...

This time when he unbuttoned her dress he did it slowly, marvelling at the velvety finish of her skin. 

 

Personally I've never looked at a turbo that way...

OP6 is made for a Neo engine, and it has higher CPR, and more VCT cam angle.  Fitting that housing to a normal R33's high flow will result in an average of 500RPM worth of lag and increase HP by roughly 15kws.

PLUS....if that "hybrid" turbo is some sort of highflow, then the 21U housing should have been machined out to suit the larger turbine and there is no way you can fit the OP6 onto it without also machining it out.

PLUS, there is no such word as marvelling.

Yes, the housing would get machined to accommodate the larger wheel :)

Thanks Stao,

500rpm is a figure I can understand, not sure it's worth 15KW

From your experience what is the power limit for the 21U housing due to back pressure?

You don't have to convince me mate :)

I've been following Hypergear's developments for long.

Do you actually use it in that sense in the UK?  Because that's seriously f**ked if you do.  Marvelling (double L, because we can at least agree on the correct English spelling if we're not dealing with retarded Americans) implies that the thing you are looking at is a marvel, something weird, strange or otherwise non-comprehensible.  Like looking at a circus freak.  When you are trying to work out how to do something or how something works......that's wondering.  At least in the English usage that we use.  Is marvelling something that is used in your part of the UK?  Just your subculture?  The whole place?  Note that I'm not unfamiliar with the UK, I've spent a bit of time there.  Never heard it used in that way.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
