Turbo Change

[niran]

hey guys.

Currently i have a stock r32 gts-t that is running the standard turbo. However its nearly on its way out and it is screaming, i was told that the vg30 was a good upgrade (the ball bearing one). Just wanted to know if anyone else on sky aus has used this before in this car and if so what does it perform like and is it any good? Also after i buy the turbo i will also install a front mount to go with it.

any advice or help appreciated

thanks niran

First up you need to tell us if you mind a little lag. If you don't then go for the vg housing with RB25 turbo. If you find one the owner will probably ask too much for it so your better off looking for a 2532hks or similar. For the money I'd go hks. Without knowing your goals how can we advise ? How much do you want to spend ?

should be looking around 180-250 for an rb25 turbo depending on the condition etc..

ok hey guys. yer true i could try that one. ok by lag how much lag would i be expecting?.. and um the price for the turbo he is a friend of mine, so he said he will sell it for $350.00 for the ball bearing one with the steal shafts. is that worth it?, it has no shaft play ither.

thanks for all the help guys let us know what you think

Im running a VG30/RB25 turbo on my 33.

Its a VG30 rear housing and wheel on an RB25 turbz, I find it is pretty responsive still, and it comes on boost harder than the stocker.

I just paid $300 for mine, but I don't know the condition of it and if its steel wheeled. So its probably not too bad a price. Mates rates I'd say would be $300 knowing it was in good condition

[jivlah]

how much does high flowing a rb25 turbo cost? coz is it really worth doing that over getting a vg30 for that price?
