SOLD

I fitted this turbo to my RB20 and it is a bit too laggy for my liking. It has been recently built, has no shat play and is in excellent condition.

All I am able to tell you about it is this…

It has an RB25 Exhaust Housing with very large steel wheel, quite a large Garrett compressor housing with a large wheel. It is a straight bolt up to an RB20 and RB25.

Fitted to my car (only for a week now), it starts to spool at about 3-3500rpm and hit full boost at around 5000rpm. Pulls strong!

I have only run it at 14psi but from the look of it, it should be good for 18-20psi and would expect it to be rated at around 220-230rwkw.

This would suit an RB25 to a tea or something bigger than an RB20 (unless you like a bit of lag!)

I will happily do a direct swap for a series 2 R33 turbo!

I am selling for $600ono or $500 firm.

Hey mate,

I remember in the thread you started about this turbo you mentioned there was a squeel at low rpms, or something similar?

I would be quite interested in swapping.

Would you know when full boost would be on a rb25?

Don't want anything too laggy....but if its on full boost by 4k should be alrite....

Thanks

Stel

Hey Stel, I had the car at the mechanics yesterday and it was the gasket between the turbo and manifold has rooted itself!!

I fixed it up with some goop last night and it was running smooth and sweet this morning for about 10mins on the way to work before it gave in. What I figure is if I am to replace the gasket, may aswel replace the turbo at the same time!

I woud expect that it would reach full boost by 4k on an RB25 but I am no pro, I am not sure if anyone here could be a little more certian?

What turbo do you have?

Cheers,

Todd

I have the standard SII turbo....or so i think its standard....my car made 210rwkw with 11psi of boost with just cooler, safc & xhaust....

i'd prob be looking to be somewhere around the 250rwkw mark (with supporting mods of course)

If anyone on here can give some advice on this turbo it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Stel

Turbo is SOLD!

Have a GCG RB25 turbo that has only done 1500ks since new. $AUD1,500.00 if you want it.

Its at - ummm - Rosevears I think, but can be view in Lonny if you're interested.

Ah, you didn't like the lag. You only want a standard one. Can send you a dyno sheet with boost (think I kept em)

TT

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
