I'm returning my car to stock to trade it in, so the turbo is coming off also.

GCG hiflow, which costs over $2000 for gcg to carry out the work. plus you have to supply the stock turbo for them.

I checked it about 1000-2000kms ago and there was no shaft play or leaking seals. It's never blown smoke etc.

can easily be boosted to 20psi+, but never seen over 1 bar.

Price is $1600 for the turbo, or $1300 plus good cond. stock turbo.

located in melbourne.

if sold before next sunday, i'll have some time to do both turbo removal and installs. (for a bit extra of course)

theres some pics from when i checked it, they were the only ones i got on my phone.

price now $1200 with swap, or $1400 without.

i'd say 20-30,000kms on the turbo. max boost this things seen is 1 bar, which is a walk in the park for this thing. i just never got the injectors n afm to go any higher.

not sure exactly what rpm i saw 10psi, but this thing felt like it had the same lag as stock. from just watching the boost gauge and the revs, it seemed like it hit 1 bar at approx 3000rpm. its still on the car so i can take you for a spin if you want and you can feel it for yourself.

just saw your in nsw so maybe the spin option will be a bit difficult. lol

Yeah, if only I was in Melbourne it would be so easy... I'm keen on the turbo, but can't be without my current turbo for a few weeks waiting for yours to arrive (as I need the car on the road)

my numbers 0423 366 118. call me when you find out to give me some notice. It's currently running 10psi on a stock computer, but it's still quicker than my mates r34 gtt running 1 bar.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
