sorry, I bought it for $1200.00

won't sell and less then $1050, never used since purchase. If I don't get what I want, then why lose all the money? I will just use it myself or a mate has made offers for his 180sx

Is the turbo water and oil cooled, as i could only spot the oil inlet and outlet holes.

If it is only oil cooled, the turbo was originally manufactured for use in truck engines and would slowly disentagrate on a car engine, as it will be over-spinning and getting extremely hot.

How do you know it flows 500hp if you don't have any specs? The AR is 0.5, which is pretty small. My turbo is 0.6 and reportedly good for only 450hp (T04).

Alright guys. Looks like no one wants to pay as much as I am asking for this turbo. I am suffering the consequenes for buying something I knew nothing about.

I am not thinking about upgrading the turbo no this car till next year atleast (paying it off first).

make some offers but I would like to see them on the other side of $600. if out of state you pay the shipping

thanx guys

Not necassarily true, some of the older HKS/Apexi/ Garret turbos do not use water cooled bearings, and all of the Trust range do without it. Admittedly water cooled ball bearing turbos are typically better, but then again a GT3 Porsche is better then my car, but my car still gets the job done.

I think of more importance is if its a plain bush turbo that it has 360 degree thrust bearings and is in good condition.

I think you should spend the $50-80 and pay someone like Precision Turbochargers/GCG/Allied Signal to have a look at the turbo and give you some info to assist ppl when enquiring.

Alrighty guys, I am doing a brake upgrade soon as I have discovered I need new discs and want the extra money.

asking price now is HALF of what I paid, so I have learnt my lesson in not to buy stuff you aren't using straight away

asking price is now $600.00

$600 is pretty bloody cheap. Have you considered trying Ebay? I reckon you'd get over $600 for it easy. There's a limited amount of people here who would need a turbo like that for their Skyline, but there's probably a lot more people on Ebay looking for one for their VR4 :P

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
