YSR020 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 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 Here's a snap from the HKS site; Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/273748-genuine-hks-t51r-spl-bb-turbo-new/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

YSR020 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 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; http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r268/itstok/IMG_1498.jpg You will note the numbers are VERY close to the T51R in this thread; http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/65324-hks-t51r-spl-bb.html Here's a pic of that turbo (also from the thread) http://www.raceinfo.no/temp/turbo2.jpg Hope that helps...if you have any queries by all means let me know...nothing to hide here.

Cheers, Chris 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.
