Hey there my ceramic turbo blew in my R32 at heathcote and needs to be replaced. I am unsure what to do at this stage your thoughts and suggestions?

Looking at buying a second hand RB20DET turbo and have that replaced by a mechanic. I would like to upgrade to something bigger and more powerful but I am under a budget and labour expenses is a problem

How much would a workshop charge to swap a turbo?

The car is drivable however drove it 2 hours home from heathcote sluggish but drivable

Thank you,

Thank you,

There is a stock turbo in the for sale section..

Its in QLD all he has to do is stickit in a box and you will have it the next day.

Its out of a 33 so Rb25 he has 350 on it offer him 300 or 350 if he sends it registed post

He says its in good condition with no play.. give him a buzz STOCK TURBO

Agreed rb25 turbo.

But be warned, these also have a ceramic turbine so can fail just like your current run did.

If you are on a budget, then i assume you don't have the cash for fuel pump, injectors, ecu, tunning, etc. If this is the case, just get a standard rb25 (and keep boost at 11psi) or buy another rb20 turbo. The rb25 turbo will be laggier than the stock turbo.

I am so embarrassed right now, serves me right though for running high boost

No need to be embarrassed buddy: You blew a turbo, that is prone to failure, i blew a motor, that is regarded as being very tuff, yet i am not concerned :yes:.

Shit happens, just need to fix it.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.
