Just A Quicky

[Roundcakes]

Hey guys, just a quick one. OK, well about 3 months ago, my engine was pissing out black smoke. I got it checked, turns out it was warn rings, valves, seals. New engines in, but it's running rough, and has a bad miss. The engineer's said the turbo off my old engine, was bigger then the turbo off the new engine. So they did a sap on the turbo as well.

OK so heres the question, i was told when buying the car that it had a bigger turbo, like a garret (or something). Ive seen this (larger turbo) and it has "nissan" printed on it. So basically, is there a larger turbo for a RB25 that you can buy, that is made by nissan? Also this skyline was running 1Bar when it was going, so I'm guessing it had an ok turbo.

Thanks guys!

Most likely a highflow.

I'm pretty new to engines; a highflow is a worked standard turbo is it?

Sounds like a modified stock turbo. It's called a hybrid turbo, as it has a Garrett CHRA (Centre Housing Rotating Assembly or centre part of turbo) + bigger compressor, exhaust wheels and machined stock compressor housing, stock exhaust housing to suit the bigger compressor, exhaust wheels. To most people it looks like a stock turbo, but look inside front of compressor housing and back of exhaust housing and you'll notice the compressor, exhaust wheels are bigger than stock. More noticeable if you have a stock turbo next to a hybrid turbo.
