Hi guys,

As above I have a turbocharger that is a little overkill for my new application and as such it is up for sale.

It is a brand new, genuine HKS T51R SPL turbo, ball bearing turbocharger with the 1.00 exhaust housing. Turbo has sat in display cabinet for a few years but is in as new condition.

I have taken the turbo to Rotomaster distribution in Melbourne (http://www.rotomaster.com.au/) who went over the turbo for my peace of mind. They confirmed the above specs and it being in perfect, unused condition.

You will notice it is visually slightly different to a typical T51R (smooth compressor cover, silver nut) and I am advised this is due to it being an earlier version of the T51R, with no detriment to its performance. I actually prefer the smoother look but each to their own.

The compressor cover has recently been professionally mirror polished.

I have added as much info here as possible, but if you have any additional queries or comments please PM me.

HKS Japan sell these for 383,000Y, which at the current exchange rate is;

383,000.00 JPY = 4,877.50 AUD

Japan Yen Australia Dollars

1 JPY = 0.0127350 AUD 1 AUD = 78.5238 JPY

I am asking for $3650ono.

I think I've said enough...oh, I am in Melbourne, as is the turbo. Happy to post at buyers expense to anywhere in the world.

Cheers,

Chris

It hard not to get annoyed when people make ill-informed accusations. Especially if they have no interest to purchase.

Firstly you will note the housings (especially exhaust) are specifically HKS designs.

The verification core is stamped by Garrett...here's a pic;

You will note the numbers are VERY close to the T51R in this thread;

Here's a pic of that turbo (also from the thread)

Chris, i said it "looks" not it is...i have a very genuine interest in this item. I have a buyer for it...its for a VL ive been working on. Ill run the numbers past a few in the know. It does not have made in Japan on the compressor cover front tag...ive never seen one like that before could be very early version. Also the rear flange is 4 bolt which tells me it must be very early as the later ones are v-band.

thanks for posting up tag.

ill get back to you as soon as i can.

    • 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.
