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????

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

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 :P

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

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

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 :rofl:

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
