hi guys, i blew my turbo last night, and was looking at buying a replacement, roughly same size hopefully in a Ball Bearing setup.

My questions are as follows,

what is my flange type ?

what is my turbo housing dimentions ?

what is my compressor housing dimentions ?

( p.s - i was running a stock r33 s2 turbo no mods)

if someone can give me these details it would be greatly appreciated so i know what to look for when buying another.

S.

T3 flange, not sure what the exact specs are exhaust housing and compressor housing wise on the stock turbo.

Same size wise there isnt too much available, but then again if you are spending the money wouldn't you rather get something a decent size bigger? Your call.

Closest thing a little bit bigger is something like a 2530 or similar, just go something in a T28 series range if you want the same response as the stock turbo but atleast you'll have a bit more head room.

and the hard part is i dont want it to cost me an arm and a leg :S

i want it to be responsive and be a straight bolt on kit, so i dont have to do much fcucking around with lines oil hoses water etc.

tr43 is a good price/power upgrade.... but thats just it.... for me to upgrade to a tr43 I also had to get bigger injectors, afm and fuel pump... but then again.. I want to make more power..so I got parts that will help me in the future and allow for the turbo to make more power...

if you want to keep it still stockish and dont plan to make much over 200ish rwkw you could chuck it on and keep the stock supporting mods.

or... to be completely safe you could just get another stock s2 turbo (depending on quality) for between 300-500?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
