Ok i got a 1993 Series 1 R33 Skyline, RB25DET. So far ive got POD with CAI, Hybrid front mount intercooler kit, cat back 3" exhaust & soon Splitfire DI coil packs.

I want this turbo T3 T04E

Specs:

57 trim front wheel in .60A/R compressor cover housing.

.64A/R rear exhaust housing that requires a external gate.

I have a standard manifold etc, i want to know what i need to change, i was talking to someone and he mentioned cause it was externally wastegated i would need new manifold, intercooler piping, dump pipe & of course a external wastegate.

I want to know what exactly i will need to bolt this onto my car and what size wastegate i will need etc.

why is there an actuator on that first shot? Is it Journal or ball bearing? Oil or water cooled?

I'll try and help you out with what you need.

manifold with wastegate connector. Pipe to connect intercooler plumbing to the turbo. Wastegate. Split dump pipe, probably custommade. Oil lines, water lines if water cooled, gastkets and some kind of elctronic management. Then there might be the other supporting mods you need like fuel pump, bigger injectors and maybe a fuel pressure regulator.

The turbo looks like one of those that you can add an integral gate to. maybe this is a cheaper option

^^^what cameron datto said, you can get an internal gate hks turbo that bolts on and will be of better quality.

theres lots of supporting information on the forums regarding old school t3 to4 turbochargers and the modifications you will need to make it work, its not just as simple as plonking it on and driving away. given its external gate you'll also need a suitable manifold and wastegate.

lets not forget

aftermarket ecu

aftermarket injectors

aftermarket airflow meter (z32 or q45)

3" split dump at the very least with 3" front pipe and 3" hiflow cat

some good tyre

some good suspension

heavy duty clutch

and then prepare for lag, as that wont make anything exciting until i would expect say 4000 rpm ?

Thats the Turbo i bought yesterday of ebay (top pic).. i got the one with internal wastegate ... if you can afford better id advise spend the extra and buy quality,

in my case its a fairly short term need as sounds like mine could be farked n i jus dun have a spare couple grand right now so its (hopefully) a bargain.

Ill post up when i recieve it and its fitted to let you all know what there like

Hmmm, I am looking at getting a new turbo for mine (got the stockie on still). Basically i want it so thaty i can safely pt the boost up to 12psi.

I want more power but not the lag associated. Ie boost @2500 - 3000

I have been told by some that t3t4 is the way to go but im sure this is wrong.

What type/brand turbo do u guys reckon is the way to go?

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
