your options are;

1. get the current busted turbo highflowed - around $2k for a ball bearing unit

2. get a 2nd hand aftermarket turbo (hks 2530, hks 2535, trust td05, apexi ax)

3. get a new aftermarket turbo (hks gt-rs, hks 2835)

being in nsw ask the guys in the NSW area for a list of workshops, theres probably a list already

CRD and UAS are two workshops that come to mind in NSW , no idea where they are from blacktown

good concise answer but i think you forgot one more option:

4. buy a second hand one for only around $200-$300 and have it put on......if moneys tight...perfectly viable option

ah yeah sorry forgot 2nd hand stocker jobbie

Yeah Thats What I'm Trying To Do So I Don't Have To Worry About It Turning Into A Ball Of Fire (Exagerated I Know)

Just Finding One Is The Hard Bit, At Least Till I Got the Money For The Original To Get Rebuilt.

Just Don't Wanna Have To Get Stuff Fabricated..

Not A Fan Of Making Things Fit Just Want Them To, I Bought A E-bay t04e With All The Extra Fittings,

And It Still Wont Fit So I'm Selling It On E-bay For $300 Just To Make Back Some Of The Money...

Thanks Guys If You Know Someone With A Stocker Could You Drop us A Line It's A Series II Nylon Wheel Turbo

Thanks Again :laugh:

seriously throw the to4e in the bin

its not worth the hassles, costs and pain and its crap `1960s technology

get your stocker hiflowed (will last another 100,00kms) or buy a 2nd hand stocker for $300

a 2nd hand stocker will be better than an ebay to4e

hi nic

when a turbo is "old" the bearings and seals become worn

the actual wheels themselves are reasonalby ok

so when they highflow a turbo they rip out the bearing kit (known as CHRA) and replace it with a new ball bearing pack

they replace the wheels with steel wheelies (gets rid of ceramic and plastic wheels), balance it, and service the lines (oil and water)

the only parts that are "retained" when highflowing are the housings and compressors cover as they don't "wear out"

they even bore out the exhaust snout to get more "flow" out of it - hence the name highflowing

the only difference between servicing a turbo at its scheduled 100,000km interval and hiflowing is

they fit bigger/better wheels and bore out the snout exhaust hole to get more flow out of it

ok That clears it all up... your a wealth of knowledge for someone in distress, thanks paul

no worries

the main issue with fitting another 2nd hand jobbie is - its age and likelyness to fail

its going to be a 10+ year old plus turbocharger with cermamic wheels etc

and theres a chance (minor) that when it fails , it takes the engine down with it, need a full rebuild

so sometimes its better to just bite the bullet and pay for a highflow

but on the other end of the scale i have my rb25t with 185,000 on it and std turbo

with std specs and no highflow / rebuild etc so its 85,000 overdue for a 'overhaul' - the turbo is

so i guess you could say its likely to fail - i run 12psi and trash it

but i dont "think" it will take down the engine too when it fails - so i dont justify the $ in rebuild the turbo

sounds much like myself, the only reason this tubo blew out was because the cheap SH!TE boost controller that came with it loosened and ran 20 psi before my eyes... (Imagine eyes 3 inches out of my head)

they wont be able to tune it without a working turbo, and if it is still running, they will have to retune when you replace it

Thought so... Is It Possible To Just Fix The Oil Seal on My Turbo... NO Hiflow Or Comp Wheel Changes?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
