Well, I have just heard my turbo go pop the other day and needed to know what my options are for getting it fixed.

My car is an r33 gtst and I was looking at one of the following:

1. hi flow / rebuild my turbo (machine housing, steel wheels etc) - $800

2. reconditioned VG30 turbo - $1400

3. aftermarket turbo - $2000 +

I was looking at going for a hi-flow / rebuild of my turbo to fix it as this is a fairly reasonable price. Is this a good option? Is there anything I should look out for?

Is there anything i need to know before I do this? Do I hav to tell them any spec's I want?

In the end I was hoping to have something that will give me around 200 - 220 rwkw's with an SAFC, exhaust and r34 gtt intercooler.

No way will you get a ball bearing turbo rebuilt for 800 with new wheels, core and associated balancing, machining etc. If it was a plain bearing turbo it'd be a good price.

Closer to 1800 unless you know someone I don't :cool:

Second hand r33 turbo will set you back 5-600 if you can find one for private sale.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
