Yeah with steel wheels instead of ceramic...

umm, no.

the SR20 exhaust housings have a different flange. (they are T25, GTRs are T3).

aslo, how will swapping housings affect what wheel is on there? the exhaust wheel and compressor wheel are FIXED to a common shaft. replaceing the housings wont do f**k all about that. the ceramic wheel is bonded to the shaft and would be hard to remove in your back yard without the right tools and know how. then once you've done that and want to put your new wheel on you then have to somehow be able to spin it up to 100 000rpm (or some such) so you can balance it.

bottom line? not feasible. sorry.

better and probably cheaper to go to somewhere like GCG and have them rebuild your GTR turbos with steel wheels.

GTR's are not T3.

I am wanting to keep the GTR exhaust housing and mate it to the SR20 carriage and front half. So yes swapping the housing will fix the problem as I'm basically using an SR20 turbo with a GTR exhaust housing.

A bit clearer?

hmm, it seems i am as stupid as I look.

I read it the other way around.

yeah, should work ok. just gotta find 2 S15 turbos then.

BTW, I wasn't trying to say that GTR turbos are T3s I was saying that they flanges are a T3 type flange. maybe I got the number wrong but point is turbos for SR20 and turbos for GTR have different flanges where they bolt to the manifold. won't affect your plan though as you are going to use GTR exhaust housing.

go for it.

And I am saying that they are not. RB20/25/30 are all T3 Flange, GTR's are different. GTR's have the T25/28 exhaust flange.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
