Anyone know what a reasonable ballpark figure I'd be looking at to get two stockie 32 gtr turbos converted to steel exhaust turbines...?

I can buy some blown turbos but last quote I got for a rebuild (from an anonymous source) wanted $1250 per turbo.... for that price I can possibly get a pair of proper N1's....

MTQ and ATS get mentioned a bit, I haven't called them (usually because whenever I'm thinking about turbos its night time and theyre closed)... have any of ya'll had this done? How much did it cost you?

-D

I got quoted $1k each from place in Sydney..Find that its not worth it :D

Get yourself a pair of R34 N1s :(

i was gonna bring that up dan but i knew you'd mention it..

haha thanks Ryan, just dont wanna see or hear of someone getting ripped off like i did........

if u want a responsive turbo on a gtst then go something like Ryan used to have before he upgraded but if u wanna pull over 270rwkw dont go anything smaller than a gt30/40 or a gt35/40 preferbly a external gate...a BIG hit of boost is what i prefer, well thats my opinion

Wow 1k EACH?! Is it because of the labour involved in removing them, etc? I've heard it's pretty hard to remove/install the turbo's on a RB26 low mount setup...

Actually... I might be up for this soon. I'm still running the ceramics! Been meaning to get them steel wheeled + possibly high-flowed.

Pretty sure the seals are shot on them, too... getting the (very) occasional blue smoke under boost :D yet the engine/rings/everything else is healthy.

Although, the turbo's themselves are really only designed to last 100,000k's until they need a rebuild.

hrm, group buy on stock 32 turbo rebuilds in south oz? could such a thing happen? I know I'm starting to get wary, those turbos are 18 years old - theres only so long that ceramics going to last before it goes byebye... and I want to boost to 18-20 psi... main thing I want tho is having it in a std housing so it'll pass regency

-D

Same boat as me, Ben. I wouldn't dare boost my current turbos... I'm so worried, I've still kept in the stock boost restriction lol.

It's not a matter of if they'll go, it's a matter of when!

Yeah. I dunno how they can charge $1200 ea when I'll have the housings already removed and give them turbos.... put them back in thru someone else.... if i get this pair of blown gtr turbos and steel wheel em, it'll be regency friendly, but i cant be stuffed paying $1200 ea when I can get 2860-7's from ISC for around that price NEW

after fitting Chads -5's, you would be VERY LUCKY to be able to pick them. I personally wouldn't spend so much on refurbished standard turbos when you can sell them, and fit bolt on (although be careful, not as bolt on as they imply) garretts or 2530s etc. Much more hp potential for less $$.

Had a quick look at RB26 results: try this

18psi with high flowed steel wheels = 280 odd kws

18psi with -5s = 316kws .........

Only had a quick look - maybe there are others making more power on high flow steel wheels?? Post em up if you find them.....

+2!!

2530-5s are the goods and sames as R34 N1's Very responsive turbos and make good power

Would -7's give similar power to stock or closer to the -5 ? -5 = quicker spoolup, is that correct?

Cheers

Yep -5s are still smallish turbo can handle up to 350kws and nice and responsive ( Thats what I was reccomended cause that's the power range I wanted to reach without getting LAG) I HATE LAG!!!! I was looking around for some 2nd hand R34 N1s..

I would put some drop in cams with the -5s and off you go :P

-7s are lagger but put some cams with them and it helps.

-10s are even bigger and lagger again. Same as GTRSS

Yeah I hate lag too. 350kw is bloody heaps for what I use the car for (daily) and would def get cam gears and cams.

Just depends on if I can find 34 N1's cheaper than the brand new garretts - and even then it might just be worth paying the difference to have brand new turbos... so I'm guessing -5's are what I should start saving for...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
