do s13 sr20 turbos fit a gtr

[fatz]

after removing the rear blades from my gtr turbos after only 700 km at 1 bar

thought that maybe a pair of s13 sr20 turbos(they supplly 170 rwkw pretty easy easch) ... which are cheap and have the same manifold pattern should go onto a gtr motor..

has anyone done it or are they too big for the gtr motor to spin

is it just a waste of time in the end???

and does anyone have a sr20 turbo floating around to see if it fits????

Would they be much better than your stock GTR turbo's.. I think the early SR20DET uses T25 turbo's.. so they probably do fit.

You can get your stock GTR turbo's rebuilt to the same specs. I would recommend buying decent turbo's though.

[fatz]

yea might just rebuild my ones

although im getting very good at changing them now so might give it a try anyway

[RS500]

a friend has a set of N1 turbos for sale if you're intereted.......

[fatz]

just looking at some decent singles and thay might be an option

td06 20g sounds nice!!!!

i only really want 250 rwkw should make me happy

[Busky2k]

Yep they should fit! Im not so sure about the positioning of the oil/water lines however. What would be interesting is a pair of S15 BB turbos...

[N I B]

the front turbo hangs to low to clear the engine mount but with mods it does go on.

[PSIKO]

The dump pipe bolts are different between a t25g and gtr turbo, also t25g's aren't good at all

in fact they shit

and for the extra lag you'll receive from running 2L turbos on an effectively 1.3L pumpage, it's not worth the time and money

DO IT FATZ!!!

You know you want these to go with these

The thing would be a weapon, and looking at the power and response these made on Doug Dinans old R33 GTR i think they would be just the thing for a man with your appetite...Or not :Oops:

[fatz]

lol roy they sound a bit dodgy!!!!

and would be more hassle than going big single

lol

i think the car will be off the road for a month while i save up anyway... shit

Is your engine actually alright?

I mean, in most cases I have seen where a GTR turbo has blown the ceramic wheel.. there are signs of ceramic in the bore.

Need to get the mini camera out and check it before planning anything alse.. full rebuild may have you saving a bit more

[fatz]

exhaust wheel not front wheel

but will give it a ful compression test ect

[Ronin 09]

I read somewhere in these forums that the ceramic exh wheel, when busted, can get sucked back into the cylinder through the exhaust valve... I think this is what GTR-Ben is referring to

[Roy]

How can it get sucked back in thru the exhaust valve. When the exhaust valve is open the piston is moving up the bore diplacing the burnt gases. When the inlet valves are open the piston is moving down the bore suckling in the fuel/air mix.

So i doubt that something in the exhaust will get sucked into the engine...could be wrong though

[Ronin 09]

don't know mate... the more i think about something, the more I can convince myself that this may be the case lol...

I don't know if this is the case, but with intake / exhaust cam overlap, a small amount of exhaust could be 'sucked' back in?? Therfore, if turbo goes kaput, part of ceramic wheel could be sucked back in?

I don't know - like I said someone on the forums said this and I was sceptical as well

[predator]

what were the turbos held on with when it left japan ? sticky tape?

[Ronin 09]

What are you talking about gordo!?! :confused:

Hi guys, I have seen 8 X RB's with ceramic turbine failure, 2 X GTR's, 3 X R33 GTST's, 2 X R32 GTST's and 1 X R34 GTT and none of them had any ceramic anywhere other than in the cat. There wasn't any in the turbine cover or in the dump or in the engine pipe, it was all in the front of the cat. Blown there by ~200 cubic metres per second of ~600 degrees celsius exhaust gas, that's better than my Stihl leaf blower. :wassup:

Maybe if you were spinning at the time and the engine turned backwards, you might get some sucked up into the manifold. Of if you where starting the engine at exactly the time the ceramic failed and it coughed and ran backwards. :headspin:

I don't think so, Tim

[fatz]

sope i will find out when i pull them off hey but the engine was running fine after the incident
