hi guys, i blew my turbo last night, and was looking at buying a replacement, roughly same size hopefully in a Ball Bearing setup.

My questions are as follows,

what is my flange type ?

what is my turbo housing dimentions ?

what is my compressor housing dimentions ?

( p.s - i was running a stock r33 s2 turbo no mods)

if someone can give me these details it would be greatly appreciated so i know what to look for when buying another.

S.

T3 flange, not sure what the exact specs are exhaust housing and compressor housing wise on the stock turbo.

Same size wise there isnt too much available, but then again if you are spending the money wouldn't you rather get something a decent size bigger? Your call.

Closest thing a little bit bigger is something like a 2530 or similar, just go something in a T28 series range if you want the same response as the stock turbo but atleast you'll have a bit more head room.

and the hard part is i dont want it to cost me an arm and a leg :S

i want it to be responsive and be a straight bolt on kit, so i dont have to do much fcucking around with lines oil hoses water etc.

tr43 is a good price/power upgrade.... but thats just it.... for me to upgrade to a tr43 I also had to get bigger injectors, afm and fuel pump... but then again.. I want to make more power..so I got parts that will help me in the future and allow for the turbo to make more power...

if you want to keep it still stockish and dont plan to make much over 200ish rwkw you could chuck it on and keep the stock supporting mods.

or... to be completely safe you could just get another stock s2 turbo (depending on quality) for between 300-500?

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
