Gtrs / R33(4) Turbo Hybrid


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I've got the oppurtunity of purchasing a GTRS turbine housing (.64)

I want to know if it would bolt up to the standard r33 / r34 turbo core

this is to save me looking for an r34 OP6 .63 turbo and rear housing.

reason for doing this is i'm wanting to high flow an r34 turbo for my r33.

so i want a hybrid turbo using a HKS GTRS .64 turbine housing, r33 core and compressor housing high flowed.

CAN IT BE DONE??

thanks guys

You will need to make sure the GTRS housing is going to suit the wheel size you will be using in the highflow. If not, then it could foul or have too much clearance. If you are going to highflow the turbo anyway, there is no point getting a different housing. The one on there is going to flow the same as a GTRS anyway, possibly more.

And is it a GTRS T25 flange or T3 flange?

Not sure? is there any way to visually tell?

its got a 4 bolt pattern with rectangle opening.

T3 is 4 bolts, rectangle opening?, t25 is 3 bolts, circular opening?

I'll have a R34 OP6 0.63 turbo up for sale probably next week if you can wait.

Im in Auckland, NZ :)

No, T3 and T25 are both 4 bolts, rectangular. T25 is smaller. The turbo on your R33 and R34 are both T3 flange. A GT-RS is usually T25 but you can opt for a T3 flange from HKS when buying them.

If you are buying it second hand, then measure the centre-of-hole to centre-of-hole dimensions and I can tell you which one it is

The turbines are a different profile in Hitachi (R34GTt) and Garrett GT28 NS111 (GTRS) .

The Hitachi cartridge is bulkier than the Garrett one so I'm not sure if the Hitachi one could be made to fit a Garrett housing .

Just for the record 0.64 A/R is the smaller of two housing sizes Garrett make for that GT28 turbine , the larger one is 0.86 A/R .

HKS had their own turbine housings made but only in the 0.64 A/R size , Garrett don't do either in "T3" flange size .

If anyone wants to sell one for sane money I'm looking for an OP6 Hitachi turbine housing/R34 turbo in good condition .

BTW to make a Skyline spec GTRS turbo aside from the HKS turbine housing all you need is a Garrett GT2871R 52T cartridge and some machining mods to a T04B comp housing . Get a big snout one and convert it to a ported shroud inlet and thats about it .

I have uses for the T3 flanged HKS turbine housing and a Hitachi OP6 one ATM .

Trying not to be greedy , cheers A .

    • Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?
    • OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.
    • Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset. 
    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update
