hi all, I have a couple of questins regarding a hi flow turbo that i am considering buying (i have a lot to learn when it comes to turbo's), I only have a certain amount of information at this point about the turbo but the rest of the info will be made avalible to me as soon as i know what questions to ask.

here's some info on the turbo:car was taken to geebung drift king with blown turbo. they removed it and sent it off to Garrett to get it rebuilt. apparantly its a pretty custom jobby. 300zx turbo housing high flowed with steel wheel, rb25 compressor housing high flowed with steel wheel. (there are recipts for the work done on turbo)

would a a 300zx rear on it make it spool quicker ?

at this stage i am assuming it was origionally a R32 stock turbo at the begining, will this be a straight bolt up to my Rb25det?

will it be a better than my stock R33 turbo?

my stock turbo comes on nicely a 2000rpm and currently running 12-13psi daily

reason for buying this other turbo is so i can happily run it at 1bar daily,if and when i deciede to get it out on the track i will be happy to wind it up to 18psi and have my stock turbo laying around as a spare, i would appreciate any constructive input and answers if you have them, if you have any questions u think i should put forward to the owner please let me know, cheers Damo

shirt answer is YES. it will bolt on and be an upgrade.

Long answer would invole you answering more questions which you won't know the answers to as you are not the workshop who took it apart and measured bits.

that depends matey. The is it the 300zx twin turbo? or single turbo. The twin turbo one is no good.

Only the single turbo one - also known as the vg30det turbo - not the dett

I hope/believe it is the single turbo. why is the twin one turbo no good?? thanx in advance Damo

the twin turbo ones use a t25 flange (and are too small for your car), the single uses a t3 flange - same as your stocky.

If it has OP6 on the exhaust side and the usual R33 compressor housing it might just be an R34 turbo thats been rebuilt.. If hat has been hi flowed and rebuilt with steel wheels ur laughing. I recently bought a 34 turbo (stock) and it has the same VG30 rear housing from a Z31 3L single turbo V6 and same compressor housing as the R33. Basically the upgrade to an R33 RB25 turbo is it shoudln't run out of puf at the top. If urs is a hi flow u should see some good gains, bit more lag, more top end. Thats what it sounds like to me. A good indication of a hi flow turbo is the rear housing, If there rear wheel is large enough to come close to outlet maximum measurement its deffinately been enlarged.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
