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?

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
    • 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.
