Just blew my turbo, i need some help on what to do next. I have taken the original turbo off and found that the exhaust wheel is still attached and there is no shaft play. But it does make a grinding sound when it spins. The car is a r33 s2 auto. The mods to the car so far are a fmic,splitfire coils,eboost 2 boost controller,microtech lt2 & turbo back x force exhaust.

Im not sure if i should get the stock turbo hiflowed or should go done the path of a turbo from kkr or some other type of company.

I am not trying to get a madly powered car just one the has a bit of go about it and reliability.

Any ideas would be very helpful.

you can buy a brand new garrett turbo but youll have lil to choose from, because if you pick something to big your gonna have to change the exhaust manifold and a bunch of other crap.

your lookn at $1000+

you can highflow your turbo or you can highflow a r34 turbo which is even bigger. and youd be lookna t 220-260rwkw

im selling mine for 150bux..... pm me if interested.

If your car is an auto then don't get carried away with power over 220kws as gearbox will set you beck more than any turbo. Even 220kws is too much, look at the auto threads and see if I'm wrong. Then again, go the 3076 internal gate for a $3000 setup and get the box built to suit and you will have any manual for breakfast at any traffic light duel.

Otherwise buy my GCG hi-flow for $350 or my 32,000k standard R33 turbo for $300.

That turbo from guilt toy looks good, especially for an auto. Remember though, might mean a quick end to your box. But if you were to keep the boost down till you can beef the box up then that would be a great investment for the future. Just a matter of how much comes with the turbo,ie: lines, dump, inlet, etc. Hi-flow would be easier but 250kws is where it starts to be fun so I know which one would be better.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
