Can I upgrade my T25 to A R33 GTR standard turbo? Is it a straight swap like a T28 or what would I need to make it fit? Has anyone done it?

i think the skyline turbos have ceramic blades which arent good for upping the boost as they can break. you'd be better with and s14 or pulsar one
Has anyone done it succesfully or would it just be a waste of time and effort?
They have different elbows so wouldn't mate up to your exhaust and you'd struggle to get much more that 210 or so bhp out of them. Much better to use a T28 IMO
Oh really, just wanted to know. T28 is the deal but never thought of GTR ones.
They're actually technically smaller turbo's so don't try to use one.

People hear skyline gtr and think" ooooooohhhh, they must be able to make 100000 bhp each at 23 bar "
2.6L engine, 2 turbos => each turbo works on a 1.3L engine witch is smaller then our 1.8L engine...correct

RB20DET runs only one Turbo on 2L - should work on ca18det too
That's a ceramic unit too, however.
I was under the impression the GTR turbos flowed slightly more than the T25, but not enough to be worth bothering with (we were looking at a pair for the VG30, but decided it wasn't worth it). I'm probably wrong as it was only a brief bit of research
the nur spec turbos flow more
But try finding them for under 500 quid and your doing well
I once saw a GTR turbo in the flesh and its easy to see why its no use. The internal size of the turbine and compressor, expecially on the turbine is tiny. Only half of the port size compared to a T2.
Yes, but it runs out of puff fairly quickly at the top end and isn't suitable for anything over 0.9bar really
It's a different size to the GTR turbo also
In summary, Skyline turbos are a different mani to turbo flange, different exhaust outlet and different orientation - pretty tough to get to fit and probably not worth the effort
