Hey guys. Don't know if there's already a thread on this. But just wondering if I could get a bit of advice. I've had many mixed opinions about this topic.

I currently have and R32 RB20 (4 Door) with just the right amount of mods. I've done what I can without taking that next big step... Turbo choice!

I'm think I'm tossing up between a GT28 RS or maybe a GT2530 or or somthing similar from the Apex-i series or the TD- series. All proper precautions have been made.

Just after some feedback, thanks guys.

Sava.

True that. GTRS huh? That's what I was thinking. I mean, I'm not after massive amounts of power just something a little more punchier than waht I've got, something that will light them up with ease.

Although I've heard that the TD-05 could a likely contender. Might be a little easier on the pocket as well.

Anyone have one on their Skylines or know anyone who has?

Any info... Cheers.

Does the TD-06 have T3 flange though?

Why don't you try one of the Garrett range. They a much, much cheaper than the HKS alterantive and every bit as good in their function and their quality. Try www.turbobygarrett.com for a starter. There are a large number of retailers, a search on this forum will give you a start. There is also an interview with their manager/director in this month issue of Zoom.

I've been told to have a look at The GT2860R, could be a goer, but not sure if I'm after something that big, I can't really find a mid-way point with any of the GT series. That's why I thought somehing from the TD range.

I think you mean the RS - just pays to be careful with the nomenclature. The GT28-60R is for the RB26 (You need two for that motor - part number 707160-5 or 7). But have a look at their comparison sheet for the medium sized units. Address should :D work http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...rison_sheet.htm

Then dig out the compressor maps to find out how the airflow matches in with your requirements. Don't just pick a turbo based on it's descirption of 300hp or 500hp or whatever hp.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
