Hey guys, got my new car last week, its a 93 r32 gts-t. At the moment its running a 4inch catback and 13psi, everything else appears stock. The guy i bought it off claims that it was running 190rwkws with fmic,13psi and full exhaust. He also claims that the turbo is off a GTR, so that would be a t28 right?I have searched the forums with no luck on info for this upgrade. I spoke to one guy who rekns that he's seen in done before, makes it boost earliar than stock turbo and runs a hell of a lot more efficient..Apparently without the full exhaust and fmic it still ran 161rwkws on the morpowa dyno in adelaide.

Can anyone tell me if this would be possible for me to have this turbo or not?Its the first time iv heard of it done.

Cheers

It isn't an upgradge, it's a downgrade, because the gtr turbo is smaller. Also, it doesn't even bolt up. it would require lots of mods to put it on.

Unless if the car was from antarctica or somewhere where there are no gtst spares, i highly doubt that it's running a gtr turbo. Even if I lived in antarctica, i'd still buy one from overseas and get it sihpped.

You can use a T3 compressor cover on a CA/SR/GTR turbo however you cannot use a T3 turbine housing on a T28 turbo.

If it has a T28 turbine housing on it someone wasted alot of time.

lol so true no one smart would fit one of those its definetly a downgrade, i think a single gtr turbo is rated only at 150rwkw, which it probably would boost earlier as its smaller

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
