Standard or A/M???

if it's standard, i'd be buying another secondhand one... or an A/M one..

But if u want to fix it, u probably could... but it looks like a bit of work and if it goes through to the face, it'll need to be machined when finished... so it would be cheaper to get another just from the machining cost...

also where it is you wouldn't be able to bolt it down properly and it could warp...

Hope it helps...

Theres no crack on the face of the flange or the inside of the turbine housing. Just the crack around the outside

Got it from Greeenline, don't like my chances of taking it back because its probably my fault.

I'm am not answering the question you told me not to answer.

a turbo should not crack like that just from doing it up, no matter how tight you do it.

if you were going to get it welded up it will probably have to be done by someone in the know, as i'm pretty sure the turbine housing will have to be ground out where the crack is, then heated slowly up over 200 degrees c, welded then cooled down slowly to prevent it from cracking again right next to where it is welded. special cast welding rods will have to be used also.

thats no good! what ex housing size is it? should be under warranty. id send greenline a picture..

0.68, Internal

I'll see what Greenline have to say about the warranty, otherwise I'm off to the turbo repairer.

Seeing as its not craked right through, it could be braise welded with success, I have braised vices that have cracked and they work fine. You would still have to preheat and most important post cooldown in a heat blanket.

^^^ yes, wouldnt hurt to get the manifold machined. If i were you send GCG a email or give them a call, explain your situation. they would have the gear/know how and have the correct gear to machine it

I've got to send the turbo to HKS and see what they say. They want to see if I dropped the turbo or over tighten the nuts. Don't know how they could prove/disprove either.

I'm not exaclty the worlds stongest man, hell I'm not even fat, skinny as stick, so I doubt I over tightened the nuts. I definatley did not drop the turbo.

Greenline have been good, but they're only the middle man.

WISH ME LUCK

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
