GT2871 installation - DIY

[SoguRacing]

5-7-08
Hey guys! first off i'd like to introduce myself. My name is Daniel and i've owned my 240 with sr swap for about 3 years. Here is my installation of the GT2871 .64. Took about 10 hours from start till finish. still need a tune, oil change and a few other various things.

List of tools used:
3/8 rachet, 7mm socket, 10mm socket, 12mm socket, 13mm socket, 14mmsocket, 17mm socket, 18mm socket, 19mm socket
13mm open/box wrench, torque wrench, pliers (regular and extended 90degree types), thread lock, anti seize, various rachet extensions 3in 6in 10in, crescent wrench, swivel head 17mm socket to get the oil feed line banjo bolt out ,a 14 mm swivel head socket to get the manifold nuts off, there's more, just forgot :zzz:
This is the 14mm socket i used to take off the exhaust manifold nuts. It was the only one that i could find to get into those tight places without getting under the car. Also mind you that i have AC :) The 17mm socket looks the same only bigger when messing with the coolant return banjo bolt.

There's quite a difference in the size of the gt2871 .64 (left) and the stock T25 (right) *Take note that the compressor inlets are clocked differently.*

I opted for the divided iconnel exhaust housing but ended up mating up the stock t25 elbow with some modification to one of the elbow's bolt holes.

A box of goodies from my stock t25 setup that i just took off. I used the stock dump tube and exhaust manifold and some various nuts and bolts from the old setup. *I upgrade to the megan outlet*

Got started by installing some of the oil and coolant lines.
used some teflon tape on the threads to ensure no leaks.

I didn't take a pic of the t25 actuator but here is the difference in the hks actuator (left) and the gt28rs/gt2871 actuator (right).

Another picture of the turbo. Also just as a note: make sure to tighten all of the turbo bolts down snuggly. they usually come from the factory fairly loose.

Another picture of the turbo.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00545.jpg

I had to use the t28 adaptor plates in order to clock the turbo properly in the s13 bay for the s13 piping.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00547.jpg

The new oil drain unit. the rubber tube was a bit** to put on under car. probably a DIY newbie mistake to wait till last.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00548.jpg

Here is a pic of it installed.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00549.jpg

A pic with the manifold and inlet and outlet pipes on. As you can see they are clocked the correct way with the adaptor plates.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00550.jpg

I used new gaskets during assembly to ensure a proper seal.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00551.jpg
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00552.jpg

here's a pic of the new setup on the car. i used the 7 layer gasket and scraped away the old gasket being careful not to damage the aluminum bock/head.

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00554.jpg

Here's a pic of the underside of the car with the drain tube attached. Saved it for last as it was the toughest thing to put on snaking under the car. Also with the down pipe attached. used new gaskets.

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00557.jpg

here's a pic of my Home Depot special recirculation tube. cost around 5 bucks lol

And here's my final setup.

I'm also going to install a z32 maf within the next few days when i get the time to do it.

Thanks for looking!! +1 for all DIY'ers WE RULE!!!:rawk:

cont: 5-8-08
removing the stock elbow waiting for my megan elbow to arrive. used a 12mm socket and wrench to remove the nuts. there are 5 of them.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00563.jpg

elbow has been removed. used a 14mm socket to remove the 3 nuts holding the downpipe to the elbow.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00564.jpg

while i was at that i decided to remove my cat and put in a test pipe for now.

[Sileighty_85]

Looks good man

I can understand why you used the stock manifold but
Why oh why did you use the stock Dump pipe??
that probably one of the most restrictive pieces of the exhaust system, you could have at least gone with a Megan, its only 130 bucks.
plus with the less hassle of it being out already

[SoguRacing]

yea, i know. Just didn't feel the need to use it. a couple of hp loss isn't going to kill me. probably later when i upgrade the manifold.

[S14DB]

It's not a good idea to use Teflon tape on oil lines. Save it for your home plumbing.

Like said before you are going to loose a lot of HP with the stock outlet. It's not a couple. It's 15-20hp with the stock turbo.

[clark]

i like!

what else are you upgrading along with this turbo? i plan to go with the same turbo after i beat the piss out of my T25 for about a year.

[Sileighty_85]

you'd be surpirsed on the differance it would make especially on your turbo now
And for "spool up" time.

that 3 in exhaust doesnt help as much when the gases are still being pushed through a 1 3/4 - 2in (cant remember size) pipe especially when that waste gate opens up

You beat me to it! I was just going to do some scolding for using Teflon on the oil lines.

To the OP, the reason is that it could be possible to get a piece of the tape into the oil line while twisting it, and then if it clogs up your restrictor, your turbo takes a giant poop.

yeah unless its a tapered fitting...they recommend that you dont use teflon tape.

not too bad.....def. not the way i would of done things (the outlet...big mistake. that makes the biggest difference on any of the exhaust pieces) but....as long as you're happy.

[SR20n00b]

so the stock mani will work with the GT2871 .64?

+rep

[DirtyS14]

Awesome, thanks for this!!!

[SoguRacing]

Ok, I'll be upgrading the turbo elbow in a couple days. as for other mods. just getting some 740cc injectors and a fpr and install my walbro fuel pump. I think that's it. lmk on some other mods before i get this sucker tuned. and suggestions... thanks for the input. you can never get too much.

[FusionR240sx]

yea... using teflon tape is like using nothing...
it's just gona melt away and crumple up into the turbo.


that line going to the back was pretty fun i bet huh?
i fuccin hated that part.

[Sileighty_85]

Why does your valve cover look like it came off of a Blue Bird SR?

[DataXUnknown]

+1 for a good DIY thread. I will need this in the near future =)

[SoguRacing]

Why does your valve cover look like it came off of a Blue Bird SR?

Dont know lol. it came with the sr when it was purchased from my friend. i know it's not the original. been told that many times :bow:

[SoguRacing]

yea... using teflon tape is like using nothing...
it's just gona melt away and crumple up into the turbo.

i'm going to redo that tomorrow. you all got me worried. thanks for the advice

[jspaeth]

Just a simple correction.

You keep saying dump pipe, but a dump pipe is what comes off an external gate....

Usually it is called a turbo elbow, turbine outlet, etc.

[SoguRacing]

my bad, thanks for the correction.

[heyitzalan]

Diy Tune Would Be Awesome!!!

[SoguRacing]

haha, i'd have to get a wideband. not sure how that would go over. I've thought about it but I've heard too many people mess up their cars. It's still in the back of my mind tho i dont have much time for something like that. If i find a good deal out there on a Wideband i might just go for it

[mcdonne32004]

noticed your still running stock maf, I'd be taking that out asap before you max it out w/ the 2871. nice write up though

[usdm180sx]

Nice writeup! You should have went the extra mile and upgraded the elbow though. The 2871r needs it! You'll see what I mean when you replace the elbow. Again, nice write up :D

[rps13sr20det]

Great write up! i just finished the same setup except I used the Megan Turbo elbow! HOLY F*CK is the oil return a pain! i tried to use the T25 oil return. Even with bending and heating, it still wouldn't line up the same. I tried to fab a new line and it turned out worse! Good DIY! I would love to see a section on the Tech about all DIY installs

[PhAtXSuMo]

+1 for a awesome guy!!! i wish i can do stuff like that right now =( running stock KA =(

but this is something i can look at in the near future in like 2 years or so lmao

good job !! keep up the good work thanks for willing to help me out with my car problems as well!

[SoguRacing]

i think they have one in the Fabrication section. thanks. the diy isn't that in dept but just having everything laid out makes it that much easier. i'm switching elbows soon. haha. thanks for the rep

[Def]

Again with the teflon tape on a fitting that doesn't need it. Hope that stuff doesn't end up in your CHRA, or you'll smoke your new turbo...

[Flybert]

The part I'm confused about is how it took you 10 hours.

[xplicit240]

have you gotten a down pipe already?

[FRpilot]

It's not a good idea to use Teflon tape on oil lines. Save it for your home plumbing.


i was thinking the same thing.. actually, i was thinking, wouldn't the teflon tape just melt and leave a mess.

[NSR250]

nice write up. I did a similar 2871 upgrade

[S14DB]

no but the oil will soften it letting any inside the housing to leach clogging shit up like cholesterol.

[SoguRacing]

well said, i'm going to correct this problem today.:hsdance:

[((sr)) kelly]

i have a Greddy outlet that ill sell you once i get it off my car.. its in brand new shape

[surge s14]

nice write up man

but i never understood what the recirculation of the bov was all about...

+1 guy

[tt99ol]

nice write up man

but i never understood what the recirculation of the bov was all about...

+1 guy

so it wont stall
that looks to be a synchronic bov
they are fully open at idle
the car would not run if it were not recirculated

[SoguRacing]

the recirc has to do with the maf sensor and the bov releasing metered air after boosting. if it were to vent to atmosphere the car would run rich for a split second and bogg down or even stall. recirc keeps this from happening by allowing that metered air to enter back into the system keeping it closed loop instead of open to atmosphere.

by the way, i took off the oil line and cleansed it of the teflon tape. still haven't started car yet so everything is in check. also on the way is a megan elbow that will be installed shortly along with my test pipe.

so whats a safe method to seal properly....Loc tight, or just screw in snugly? :confused:

[S14DB]

so whats a safe method to seal properly....Loc tight, or just screw in snugly? :confused:

Tapered fittings use light oil. Straight cut use a liquid thread sealant or locker.

[Def]

so whats a safe method to seal properly....Loc tight, or just screw in snugly? :confused:

The parallel threads that go into the block(all the metric stuff) needs an o-ring or crush washer. Any flared fittings(inverted flare on GT series turbos and AN fittings) seal on the flare - don't use anything else on them.

[driftage240]

Go to any autozone and ask them for this hose S4572 it works wonderful when recirculating....
here's a pic of the hose
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa5/hondahater240sx/recirc.jpg

and how its suppose to look like after install

[SoguRacing]

Thanks man! looks much cleaner than recirculator haha.

[aNskY]

Looks good, how are you tuning it?

[SoguRacing]

i have a power fc which i will be getting tuned as soon as i drop in my new injectors and z32 maf.

[aznrib]

can you post up a video or a sound clip for the synapse bov?

[SoguRacing]

there videos on youtube where people have used the synapse bov. check it out. plus, my car isn't running yet.

[rps13sr20det]

I really wish I would have read this thread a week ago. Finally I had my turbo bolted up to find out later that the T25 oil return won't work...even with heating and bending. I need to get one ASAP in Canada

[SoguRacing]

you can buy the oil line separate and install it from under the car, its awkward but i did it with my t28 to get the teflon tape off. i just hope you dont have arthritis and just use a small mirror to look at the fitting. good luck. i think they're around 60 bucks.


by the way i added some stuff to the initial page :)

[aNskY]

i have a power fc which i will be getting tuned as soon as i drop in my new injectors and z32 maf.


very nice.. should be fun!

:2f2f:

[SoguRacing]

haha i hope. My car has been sitting in the driveway collecting dust for the past month. still need, oil change, and undented oil pan if anybody has one that is local. i have a s14 waterneck or a pulley set for the redtop if you want to trade. hit me up

Thanks aNskY

[drift into a curb]

+1 for Daniel. This rocks.

[SoguRacing]

thanks man, there's more to come. Have fun in asia!

[s14unimog]

nice work and good job on posting a lot of pictures. As for the teflon tape issue, its really not that big of a deal, your turbo will be fine. If you put the tape on correctly then it wouldn't be on the inside of the turbo and its sure as hell not going to work its way in there. But like everyone said its true you didn't need it.

Props on the turbo upgrade, I've still got my finger over the "buy now" button for mine. Somebody slap my hand!

[SoguRacing]

haha Just do it. Yea, i like to post pictures, helps me out and others too. I'll soon be getting my car tuned and i'll post the dyno. JUST CLICK IT!!!

[SoguRacing]

Ok guys!! i got everything installed today and started up and there is some smoking around the turbo/manifold area. can't locate where it is coming from but as soon as i saw it i shut off the car. do i need to somehow prime the turbo lines (oil and coolant)? any ideas? has this happened to any of you?

[Sileighty_85]

the smoking is from your greasy little hands touching every thing.

the heat is just burning it off it'll go away after awhile

well if ya wanted to prime it first ya should have pulled the CAS and turned it over for a little bit

[surge s14]

maybe a leak in one of the oil lines?

[SoguRacing]

maybe a leak in one of the oil lines?

there is only one line and its clean as a whistle. A clean whistle that is.

I suppose it could be from my dirty hands but the turbo was pretty clean when i installed it.

So this is normal for most peeps?

[slider2828]

HEY HEY!!! I dunno about you guys, but ALL GT Turbo write-ups should talk about the "OIL RESTRICTOR"!! Some poeple have em, some people don't, but put one in anyways and you are set and your turbo will be much happier....


You can get on from ATPTurbo.com... I ran for the longest time without one, didn't do too much I think..... (crossing my fingers) boosting at 18PSI, but I have one now.... also get new exh maifold locking plates please.....

Trust me its just burning off oil from touching it.
Mine did it for 15-20 mins

he right I forgot about that you should get one installed if you dont or you'll be risking blowing your oil seals out in your turbo.

Hes already got the Locking plates on them

[SoguRacing]

I have the restrictor installed. no worries there. i have the exhaust manifold locking plates and the locking nuts. :) i got those bases covered. thanks for the heads up!

[drift into a curb]

It's not burning off oil. It's the new gaskets setting in from the heat. Otherwise oil would might be visibly leaking and you would notice it, but if not, I'd say it's not oil.

[SoguRacing]

Update: my smoking situation went away after idling for about 20 min. Now i have a new problem. there seems to some sound of say BB's in my exhaust manifold when i rev the engine slightly. I was very careful not to drop anything in the inlet's/outlets but it's possible something got in. Any other suggestions?

[SoguRacing]

Update: problem solved. It seems that i didn't have the wastegate actuator tight enough so the flap was hitting the housing when i revved the engine causing a sound of metal BB's hitting metal. Another problem occurred while i was pulling out of my driveway. It turns out that there is some binding of the steering wheel. it feels notchy when i turn and almost feels like it will become stuck. do i need a rebuild? i looked under the hood the see if it was binding with anything and it wasn't. Suggestions are welcome.

I feel i will be installing new bushings and having my Rack and pinion rebuilt. Look here: http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=215877

[SoguRacing]

Update: Turns out that everything was fine with the steering rack. There ended up being some binding with the steering linkage and the oil exit c-clamp . I just flipped around the clamp and tightened it.

[surge s14]

awesome deal man just tune it and lets see some numbers.your install makes me all excited about mine

[xdumbxguyx]

note that it is a good idea to drain ur coolant

[SoguRacing]

I did what i could. it starts and runs fine now. well, its always wanted to stall but yea, its still got some issues i need to deal with.

[Sr20det>Ka24de]

any brand new exhaust part will smoke a bit after start-up companies will coat manifolds, turbos, especially cast metals with some type of oil based stuff just to give it a film to protect from corrosion. No worries as long as smoke disappears after an hour, usually wont take that long.

I am looking to upgrade to a T28, so you guys are saying that I need the stock T28 oil lines?

[xdumbxguyx]

I would recommend steel braided lines turbo lines while u change your turbo. It will make your life a lot easier when u put it on and if u ever remove your set up.

[slider2828]

I was just making sure since this is a DIY document so others that have no idea what they are doing don't screw themselves. hahaha sorry was on my cell phone...

[SoguRacing]

haha, more like DIM ( did it myself ) document. ^^^i dont think you finished your sentence. *no problem*

[SilviaNOW]

i dunno if i missed this, but what are you guys using for the return line off the turbo?

Stock T25?

[SoguRacing]

it's this piece right here. It's for a GT28 turbo. comes with new gasket and rubber thingy to put on the re-angled tube on the under side of the turbo.
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00548.jpg

[zaquanh]

can u run stock ecu with this turbo but have the z32 MAF and injectors tuned with the safc , or would it be pointless and i should just get the stand alone?

[SoguRacing]

can u run stock ecu with this turbo but have the z32 MAF and injectors tuned with the safc , or would it be pointless and i should just get the stand alone?

You can but it's not highly recommended. It would be best to get atleast an enthalpy tune or something of a similar sort. the safc can only tune at like 15 points while the PFC can be tuned at 400 points. tell me which is more precise. I think you'd be fine though i've never done it and other people on here have. You would also need to upgrade your injectors to atleast 550's

[zaquanh]

as far as tuned ecu there is j wolf and enthalpy , who else is there ? jw

[SoguRacing]

not sure, there are various programs out there. the two that you mentioned are legit and have a positive history with most of zilvia's users from what i know. I use a power fc. i'm actually setting up a tuning date as we speak.

[zaquanh]

this is probly a pretty nob question but what is the diffrent between this turbo and the 71R or is it just one is newer than the other .

[SoguRacing]

there are only 2 GT2871 turbos. the .64AR and .86AR versions.

[zaquanh]

what is then http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2871R_472560_15.htm

its exacly what u have but with a R idk my im nit picking but i want to clarify b4 i by sumthin that wont even work ,

[SuicidnS13]

Nice writeup and good luck on the project-

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/danielusami/DSC00548.jpg


Whats the difference?

[SoguRacing]

this is the stock t25 oil return line. notice that it's not as long and shaped the same way as the T28 oil return line. also, the t25 line will not bolt up to the T28 without modification. I just bought this one because it made it cleaner and no hassle.

[SilviaNOW]

will the T28 one work w/ my Gt3071R?

[SoguRacing]

will the T28 one work w/ my Gt3071R?

I dont know. make another thread and see who responds. be sure to use the picture I gave you of the T28 oil return line. I think it does fit but not 100 percent sure.

[tt99ol]

will the T28 one work w/ my Gt3071R?

it will work if you slot the holes
but you may need a longer rubber tube
its almost easy

[surge s14]

It's not a good idea to use Teflon tape on oil lines. Save it for your home plumbing.


what is it that you use to make sure it dost leak?

[S14DB]

what is it that you use to make sure it dost leak?

Thread sealant/locker OR oil depending on the fitting.

Not Tape or anything with PTFE in it.

[fromxtor]

Sogu you need to jump on the extrude hone GB, keeping your stock mani is a good idea.

[2forty]

there are only 2 GT2871 turbos. the .64AR and .86AR versions.

actually i believe there are 3. the .64 AR, a gt-rs style with a slightly smaller trim .64AR, and the .86.

[moses]

ok this is probably a :newbie: question but i am going to do this in a week or so and i need a couple of things cleared up.:confused:
first, about the oil drain tube. did you use an oil drain line from a t25? when i looked up that nissan part number it was for a t25 turbo.
second, is about the restrictor. Where does it go?
and last is about the intake pipe. can i just use a 90 degree coupler?
and now i guess im gettin a new turbine outlet. :ugh:so much money already used up. thanks a lot for all your help.

[SoguRacing]

it's the T28 turbo oil drain tube. it's longer and angled a bit differently. The restrictor goes between the oil-inlet on the turbo and the oil line. it will screw right into the turbo. as for the intake you can use whatever you want as long as it doesn't restrict flow.

[zaquanh]

juss a quick question but is this the right oil restrictor ?

-4 size Oil inlet fitting for GT28/30/35R with built-in restrictor: atpturbo.com (http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-OIL-021&Category_Code=BCS)

or this

-3 size Oil inlet fitting for GT28/30/35R with built-in restrictor: atpturbo.com (http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-OIL-036&Category_Code=BCS)

i'm not sure which one it is. the ones i got were from FRsport.com "Earls Lines" and it came with it. check it out with them.

Most oil lines are -3. Plenty of flow, considering how small the restrictor is.

Good writeup and great followup. Lots of nub questions but they're getting answered quickly and not taking over this thread.

Thumbs up to you, Sogu.

slotting the t25 oil drain tube works too but i think you need a longer rubber hose and make sure to get a new oil drain tube gasket. cheap insurance against a leak.

Nice thread, I'm currently doing the same swap on my s13. Where could I buy the adapter plate you used? Also, how did it run pre-tune? I'm wondering because the tune shop is a 1.5 hour drive, and need to know it would run decent enough to make it. Thanx

i'm not sure of the brand adapter plates i used on the turbo. just take your time with driving there. it should be fine. dont boost.
