I´ve used the search function, but haven´t found what I´m looking for.

I´m new to Perth (and Australia) and I´ve bought myself a Skyline a couple of months ago.

I´m looking for a shop/company that rebuilds turbos, mine has started to whine quite a bit, and I don´t want to buy a second hand turbo.

Looked through the consolidated work shop thread as well, but didn´t find anything there?

Perth is a pretty big city, someone have to be able to rebuild a turbo?

+1 for Turbotech.

Turbotech and MTQ are the two sole authorised distributors of Garrett trubos in WA. They both rebuilds tons of turbos.

a gasket leak will either be a tick or a puffy type noise depending on where it is, a whine will be from your turbo developing shaft play (worn out bearing), thats assuming that the whine has been correctly diagnosed to be comming from the turbo area

+1 for perf4manz, they did the turbo on my s14a before i bought it, very reliable turbo but i dont know what work they do at the moment

+2 for mtq, they actually have a bolt on turbo for rb25's that using the gt3076 core and machined out stock housings, i have ordered one for a friends car, theres abit of a wait on these though

I know that there´s no leak, it´s definatily the turbo which is whining.

I´ve scrapped a couple of turbos before back in the days when I had Saabs :/

Never scrapped one on the Cosworth though... better quality perhaps :)

Can you post up any quote/pricing you get plz? Would be good to know.

The Cossie :/

I´ve emailed them for a quote, I know that they probably can´t give me a firm price without having a look at it first, but hopefully they will be able to give me an idea of what type of coin we´re talking about...

I´ll post it when I here back from them....

The Cossie :P

1600 + GST for an original stock RB25 Turbo...

2200 + GST for an upgrade which would almost be equivalent to a GT30BB 100% bolt on with all the necessary fittings.

Who was that quote from?

Was the original stock RB25 turbo, just repairing it? or was that giving it a steel wheel of same size as the ceramic ones?

The quote was from Turbotech, and that was for a original turbo with the ceramic wheel.

Ouch, u can buy 2nd RB25DET turbos for 300$ on SAU. Why would u pay anymore for a turbo that is ceramic. Anything over 1000$ should be steel and preferably be ball bearing. So get a hiflo RB25 turbo for 2000$ or a GTRS for 3000$ in a kit

I've heard mixed reviews about high flow turbos. You might want to surf the forums to check out why. IMO, go for a GTRS kit, if you can't afford it now, buy a cheap replacement 2nd hand, and save up till you have enough for the GTRS.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
