davecgtr Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hi, I was just wondering if the front and rear turbos on the R32 GTR can be interchanged? I have blown a rear turbo and know somebody who has the twin turbos but has also blown his rear turbo. Wanting to know if I can use his front turbo for my rear. Thanks for any help.

davecgtr Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thank you Just wasn't sure and thought it would be a good idea before I started pulling them apart.

GTRgeoff Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Wouldn't the fact you have each blown a stock turbo not make you consider what a time bomb these are? If a turbine blows chances are you will need an engine rebuild as well. Is it worth it?

wrxhoon Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 If you think your engine is still good do a compression and leakdown test, you maybe surpised with the results.

R31Nismoid Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 This is not the for sale/advertise my wares section. anyway, i would rent a car if i had too. Putting stock cermic turbos back on there potential, and more often than not will cost you a motor. Thats upwards of 5K Its your choice, people give you good advice.

davecgtr Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 So are you recommanding putting aftermarket turbos on there or saying the motor is likely to pop either way. And definantly appriecate the advice and am taking it all on board.

If as you say your engine still has perfect compression ( i still think if you do a leakdown test you will find the 3 cyl of the blown turbo will have higher leakdown and some scoremarks in the bore), i wouldnt risk old ceramic turbos again. Next time you may not be so lucky . If you want a turbo i have one, you can have it for $100, including actuator.

mazgtr Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 The 2 ceramic turbo's on the GTR do have a tendency to both go within a short time of each other. Id be terrorfied of fitting another ceramic turbo, only to have the other original go within a few 100 km's. The stock ceramic turbo's are old and well behind the times now, save yourself more money down the track and invest in some aftermarket turbos now. Even N1's would be a great upgrade...
