so besides those hks and other very expensive turbo's,there are no known others that are a direct fit?? why are brand new turbos so cheap on ebay?? and yes i know if i want a good one i should expect to pay good money but i am only after a new turbo rather than massive power,as long as its a little better than stock... :)

I recently bought myself a stage 2 hi flowed Slide turbo. Had intended to fit a cheap T3/T4 turbo, but it is quite large. Also the Slide turbo will have the power where I want it. So I no longer have a use for the T3/T4 turbo I purchased. :D

if around $1800 to $2200 is expensive for a direct bolt on is expensive then you have a problem. usually costs about $300 to swap turbos at most quality workshops. the HKS turbo option allows you to sell your standard turbo for $300-400. the GCG option means you either canibalise your existing turbo or better still you find a broken one suitable for hi-flowing.

some of the turbos you see on Ebay are name brand turbos BUT you then need oil and water lines, a new dump pipe, possibly spacer plates, intake piping modifications plus the cost of labour of these modifications. your $1500 turbo looks pretty pricey at the end of all this stuffing around.

back to the topic of JJR dump pipes

I called Daniel with the measurements of my existing s2 dump and pipe back to the cat

the dimensions I read him out matched the dump they list for the stagea- so fingers crossed thats right

back to chuckies comments- I think a lot has changed since he got his - so maybe things will fit easier now

I have been assured by JJ that it will fit..

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
