Garrett T3 turbo

[GTL05T]

Would this fit in a RB25DET R33 Skyline?

I dont know the specs

Just wanted to know if anyone knows about this turbo cos i am thinking of buying it.

I dont know jack about turbos. is this externally waste gated or the stock waste gate would do?

what mods do i need to fit this in my RB25DET engine

any thoughts would be much appreciated.

cheers.

PS: Can any one give specs to the stock R33 turbo?

If it has a T3 flange it will bolt on. if it is externaly gated then you will need to buy a wastegate cos your stock turbo is internaly gated.

That turbo already has an integral waste gate .

Thanks for the reply guys....do you think this turbo would suite the R33 gtst RB25DET engine? Cos i wanna replace my stock turbo with this....wise move or leave it as it is? :confused:

what mods do you currently have? what is your power target? what do u want to do with the car and how much money do you have? the turbo is generally the last thing to upgrade on a stock skyline

[paulr33]

hang on, its an a/r of 0.42 its the same size a gtr turbo. your stock turbo is bigger dude, it would be a step backwards putting this on

GTR SUSPENSION

Umm i thinks thats about it for the engine & suspension

Would it make a power difference if i fit this turbo in?

I have no power goal yet but i need abit more power than what i have now...

i think i need to dyno this to get readings :confused:

well your mods are okay, you would most likely benefit a lot from an aftermarket ecu. however the turbo is 0.42 a/r well thats what the casting says, if my knowledge is correct the stock r33 turbo is 0.50 a/r which means the turbo you are going to put on is smaller in size, meaning it will flow less airflow, hence it will be a power downgrade. where did u find this advertised? does it say what car it came off? does it say what its suited for?

[GTL05T]

This came off an intergra Type r

My mates mate selling this...i just have no idea the specs of skyline turbo.

You got the full details/specs of an R33 Gts-t turbo?

PS:engine pic above

tried searching to find the stock a/r but its not marked and couldn't find it anywhere. someone may know the specs exactly. search for "hitachi 45v2" to get some info on the stock turbo.

I wouldn't consider it an upgrade. Not worthwhile anyway, when you have to factor in the cost of a new dump/engine pipe to bolt up and modify the compressor outlet piping to suit that turbo.

Without seeing it, my guess is its a non-ballbearing turbo as well, looking at the design of it.

Invest your money in another turbo would be a better choice.
