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 .

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
