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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
