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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
