New Turbo!

[Daboss]

Just wanted to know if this is the right flange pattern for my r33 gts-t. Need to retain stock pattern as I have a down pipe that fits that pattern and don't want to have to buy another. Also wanted to know if there are any other options or advice people on the forum can offer as I am finding it hard to get a turbo with the stock flange pattern. Thanks in advance.

heres the stock flange pattern, unfortunately it's different.. 3 studs down each side:

Ok thanks man will save for future reference. Do you kno of any turbo that has the same flange and is an upgrade for the stock?

Yeah you could get a hi-flowed R33 turbo, although the prices for them are quite steep. GCG sell them if you're interested www.gcg.com.au or you could get lucky and find one for sale on the trader forums

HKS have turbo kits available for RB25, some are designed to directly replace the std turbo; thus retaining all other add-ons you currently have connected to the turbo.

I have used a HKS GTRS kit and personally think it's the best turbo kit for the 25. Perfect compromise between lag, response, peak power, etc.

I take it these kits come with dump and front pipe? Thats what I would need as my dump and front pipe is one piece Thats why I am so determined to get a turbo with the factory dump flange.

no the hks grts kit is a direct swap with the factory turbo...so you use the same dump/front pipes.

What ever bolts on to your std turbo will bolt directly onto the HKS kit; except for water/oil lines, which are provided in the kit and replace your standard lines.

The turbo manual shows the GTRS turbo fitted to the std airbox, std SMIC, std manifold and even the std exhaust. I assume you have already replaced the std exhaust and the SMIC with a FMIC, to fit the std turbo; so these parts will fit the GTRS.
