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

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
