im thinking of getting a hks gtrs turbo, problem is its t25 off a sr20

would this be much of a mission to fit to a stockish rb20?

i would assume a t25 to t3 adapter would do the trick? are they any good? any recomendations please.

what about the actuator bracket? cause i would need to rotate the comp housing how hard would it be to get that to work?

any other issues? i know i have to sort the dump & inlet but thats easy

thanks

why dont u just buy the turbo u where originaly guna buy and get sum $100 lines made up.

buying your turbo was allways dependent on what was included (this has suddenly changed to my surprise) & an inspecton (ie, me looking at it, which i did today), so do you really want me to answer that here?

adapter plate on the manifold, custom dump to suit the turbine outlet flange, custom lines, compressor outlet flange adapter to suit the 3 bolt outlet, compressor inlet flange adapter to suit the 2 bolt inlet, custom piping to suit, oil drain will need work.

The problem is that they were made to bolt up to an sr. There are no comparable fittings on the rb, even the oil drain sizes are different between sr's and rb's.

You have the potential for compressor surge on top of that as the rb specific gtrs has the anti surge mod where the sr one doesn't....

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
