hey guys i was really interested to know if anyone can double check for me if turbos from auto r33 gtst's are/look different to manua r33l gtst's?

i bought one and it looks like this.

now can someone tell me if this is an r32 gtst turbo or possibly an "auto r33 gtst" turbo.

i have heard this in a couple of cases where the auto r33 turbos look different to manuals but looks similar to r32 turbos but with bigger compressors or something along those lines? do series 1 or 2 matter also?

can anyone confirm?

fyi

the turbocharger on the auto and manual GTST (of the same model) is identical

ie nissan did not make different turbocharger models for auto and manual

they did, however, use a different actuator spring on the auto turbocharger

this is because the AUTO gtst runs less boost than manual from factory

from paulr33.com

ECR33 manual is 385mmhg which is 7.4446 psi

ECR33 auto is 270mmhg which is 5.220 psi

you can, if you can drill out the oil restrictor on the hollow screw and the benjo. not recommended.

Thats what I have done, been running fine for over 3 years. You just have to be careful of how much you drill into the banjo, as it doesnt like too much or too little oil, esp if its journal bearing.

@paulr33 I beg to differ about the boost levels between the r33 auto and manual. I drive a auto, and before I put a boost controller on, it was boosting to around 7psi in high boost mode. Which should be just over halfway on the stock gauge.

Says it all. High boost Mode would've had the stock solenoid hooked up which gives 2psi extra.

My car was auto from factory but converted to manual, boost was 5 & 7psi and 7psi with high boost mode.

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
