Factory R34 RB25DET Neo Turbo with metal compressor wheel!

The turbo is from a later model GTT (early ones have plastic compressor wheels) which was swapped onto my car (98 GTT) by its Japanese owner before sent off to Australia.

Perfect condition as you can see from the pictures.

An excellent upgrade for R32 GTST. Will make 200rwkw reliably.

Asking $500 SOLD

Isn't the metal wheel slower at spooling?

i dont think you can feel much difference in power delivery(still same housing) while the advantage being stronger and more reliable.

Edited by Forged
is the front pipe ganador or JIC? Sorry for the noob question but does one end bolt on to the turbo housing and the other end to the cat?

You are right it is JIC! I've mistaken it with my Ganador catback system, thought they were the same :)

Anyways, yes its a direct replacement for your factory front pipe, one end bolt on to the dump pipe(which is shown in one fo the pictures), other end bolt on to your existing cat.

cheers

How negotiable are you on the prices?

And, is the dump pipe included or is it just the front pipe?

You can give me an offer on price. yes dump pipe included if you want it.

cheers

how many km's has the turbo done? How confident are you that it is actually the steel wheel version?

well, its not the steel wheel version. from what i can gather, its a series 2 gtt turbo with aluminium compressor and ceramic turbine wheel.

it could be highflowed but im not sure(im not a turbo expert) maybe you can tell from the pictures. if its indeed highflowed then you are getting a bargain. but either way im sure its has a metal compressor wheel not plastic.

It is not a highflow. Definitely not. The compressor housing still has the groove in it. At the end of the day, metal or bakelite, it's the same thing. the comressor wheel never goes. It's always the exhaust wheel that dies.

The bakelite ocmpressor wheel is actually better. It has faster spool.

Well, each have they own advantages. I dont think you could feel the relative difference in "spool" time. Nissan quoted both cars with 280ps and their peak power/torque rpms are very similar if not exactly same, from what I can remember.

There are reasons that Nissan decided to upgrade series 2 GTTs with metal compressor wheels, maybe there have been reliability issues with series one turbos, I dont know for certain, maybe there were other faults. But anyone would trust Nissan's decision to upgrade were for the better, I dont think Nissan would go backwards by offering a worse turbo than the previous generation.

Thats why, the series 2 turbo that I'm selling is better than the plastic wheeled series 1 version. Also, being a newer turbo it is more reliable in the long run too.

I'm not asking double the price over a series 1 and I'm always open to reasonable offers. However, I will not sell it to you for $350 just because you are an uni student and you saw a series 1 sold for that much. If you like bakelite compressors better then I'm sure you could find one elsewhere and buy it, why even pay $350 for a "lesser" turbo?

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
