Hi guys,

It has been a while :P Life is busy...

Anyway, I need to replace the turbo on my Stag - the original is whining like a jet about to take off. Unfortunately, the cash is just not there for a serious upgrade, so I am looking to replace the turbo with something pretty stock, that will involve nothing more than bolting in and fitting up. I don't want to have to worry about wrong intake/outlet diameters etc, so can anyone tell me what the specs are that MUST be right to make this as simple as possible? And any idea what I should get? I just enjoy driving my Stag, I ain't a mechanic or a fanatic, so I really have very little idea.

TIA, and, it's good to be back, even if it is for the wrong reason...

Hey Sk0pe,

if you can't get a healthy standard used turbo (the s1 Stagea uses the s2 R33-spec turbo), then I believe the best replacement is a Garrett GT28RS, which AFAIK is a direct replacement.

Your best bet is to give a workshop a call and check with them, or speak to GCG who sell and rebuild turbos for Garrett.

Here's a few places in Sydney:

GCG Turbochargers: 1300-TURBOS (or 1300-887-267)

Unique Autosports: 9620-9000

Hills Motorsports: 9899-9962

Good luck!

T3 flange, with rb20/25 exhaust housing

Either R33 or R34 "Neo" turbo are bolt on standard turbo's

an R32 turbo would be a backwards step - small exhaust housing

scour the for sale ads for a high flow turbo

or take your shagged turbo in for a rebuild, where they bore out the intake and exhaust and use new core and new bigger steel wheels

(and compare the highflow quoted prices against the GT28RS)

search ebay, sometimes a R33/34 turbo comes up for sale

how would a gt28rs compare to a highflow? a mate is selling one cheap, brand new, as he decided not to fit it.

Not sure, but this is something I'd like to know as well.

Almost forgot about Just Jap - they have a good selection of turbos too. http://www.justjap.com

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
