What Turbo Is This?

I was lead to beleive this was a VG30 turbo, I had plans to use the turbine housing to ad to my hi-flow of my stock RB25 turbo.

I didn't know exactly what the VG30 was supposed to look like but if someones selling an apple you'd think it would actually be an apple, right?

I thought the VG30 was supposed to have a larger turbine housing so I sent photos to GCG in Sydney for a discription on what I had just bought.

They came back saying it's an SR20/CA18 Garrett T25 turbo and asked (quote) "Who the hell told you thats a VG30?"

So my question is - Is it a VG30 or a Garrett T25?

If GCG (with their experience in turbochargers) are wrong about this one (as one person thinks) and it is in fact a VG30 then I will personally give the turbo back to the seller (he can keep my money as the turbo is useless to me) and he will have a true honest apology!

Thanks..

would be easier if you could give us the numbers on the plate between the housings would make it easier!!

Ok Sweet.. the turbo is at work so I'll post up the numbers tomorrow.

It's pretty filthy of oil and stuff but when I had to give it a whipe back I noticed the GARRETT logo on it and then I could just barely see A/R .45 or .48. Thats when I thought hang on - I'll ask GCG before I send this up to them asking to hi-flow this for my RB25.

I was told by discopotato awhile back that RB20/RB25/VG30 are all nissan turbos manufactured by Hitachi and not to confuse them with anything to Garrett. The only vague similarity are the T3 flanges - which this turb doesn't have.

** I can post up photos of the flange if necessary.

Don't believe me? Here's another

I guess your "boys" at GCG need to reconsider there occupation and maybe do the logical thing and go off the serial numbers :)

Apology?

:O

it was never stated as being a VG30DET turbo, it clearly stated that it was off a VG30DETT..

Actually the OP has it as 'VG30' and it is clear that some don't understand that there is quite a difference between a VG30DET turbo and a VG30DETT turbo. It is also clear from the first post that he was after a VG30DET turbo, but has actually bought a VG30DETT turbo.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
