hey guys well i have 2 turbos at home a r33 higflow and a garret 2876r. .86 housing.

now i had the garret in and was laggy but would have been good with supporting mods z32, injecters etc.

so some mates say put the highflow some say put the garret.

its a daily/drifter i am looking for 220-240kw with all suporting mods.

so tell me your expirences and what you would put on.

and is cams stage 1? nessacry i think yes for the garret.

please help me choose

with the garret just get cam gears mate and get everything else up to perfect running order, great spark, everything heat wrapped what not. Garret will always be able to support more later..

high flows are fine but not really much of an upgrade..

Pm sent

yeah i am leaning towards the garret more but not too sure atm. really hard choice.

i want the highflow but i want the garret too lol arhhhh.

i will get stage 1 cams, cam gears, spitfires, z32, injectors, fuel reg. and i have the other supporting mods.

im doing 230/240kws with a hypergear highflow...... runs mad!!

thats rb25 right?

rb20 differnt situation..

if i had a rb25 i would put the garret on for sure. better response and wouldnt be as laggy on rb20.

We can machine your R33 turbine housing to suit your GT2876RS. So you have a GT2876R that boltons on to your R32. Due to the small size of its rear turbine housing this turbo would be super responsive working with your engine.

sorry but what does that mean? so will i use the r33 turbo or the garret loz . bit confused.

are you saying use the highflow housing on the garret turbo?

the garret fits fine on rb20.

Sorry I must mis understood. I thought you wanted to install a GT2876Rs to a Rb20 engine.

anyway, If the high flow was done to the R33 is using its standard 2IU rear housing then that turbo would be more responsive then the GT2876R . 86 rear. and still get you around 230rwkws

But the GT2876R .86 would definitly make lot more power.

How does the garret fit fine on the rb20, when they have different flanges?Are you sure its a 2876?

I have a 2876 and IMO they are a mismatch of wheels Who know why garret fitted a comp wheel capable of over 320rwkw to a small turbine wheel and housing which struggle to make the shaft torque to spin said comp wheel while giving high exhaust backpressure.

If the rb25 highflow will make 240rwkw on an rb25 then it will make almost the same on an rb20, just require more revs to do it.

GT2876R is made for a V6 engine (I can't remember the word for it lol). IE. 3cyc goes into the turbo and force feed all 6 cycs. it will make abit more power then GT2871R in .86 rears not responsive.

ADRIANO: yes i am sure its a 2876 and yes it does fit as i installed it on my rb20 for several months. was a bitch to install but i did it.

and no if the higflow makes 240kw on a rb25 it will only make 220kw on a rb even less.

iam now heading towards the highflow, only if it was ball bearing. being bush bearing i dont no.

ok guys i have decided iam keeping the highflow and selling the garret so if anyone wants a big power turbo for there r32 or better r33 pm me and ill send you pics and info on it i have the manifold to suit this turbo you will need the manifold as the turbo wont bolt onto a stock manifold. i want $1200 or nearest offer pm me guys also have one piece dump/front pipe extra $$

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
