$500 for the cart, then $200 for assembly/balancing/labour.

You MUST get it done by a professional, it's not something you can do in your backyard. So $1500 is about right once you add in the other costs... It's not just a case of a cartridge and you are done.

Who knows!??!?! :laugh: The fact that its a performance application means i would want to be sure it has 360 thrust bearings etc unlike some of the cheaper std prod car 270deg stuff. I suppose there is only one way to find out....but its a risk. The billet turbo guys claims to be able to re do the Greddy turbos with water cooler, ball bearing centres. I have a spare TD06-20G that was ear marked to have this done.

the rebuild price you have been quoted seems a bit on the high side for 2 plain bearing turbos to me but not far off the mark. I would expect around 12-1300 if the wheels are ok. If you are in sydney try fred at turbologic (port kembla) as he has a lot of experience with the mitsu gear. Also precision at wetherill park is worth a go.

That 2-300 is worth paying as you have local warranty/support.

If you had a shagged comp or turbine it may be worth looking at the ebay turbo. It'll be equivalent to something like hypergear over here except using mitsubishi catalogue bits. For some reason we pay a ridiculous premium on mitsu turbo bits over here.

Not sure what nismoids getting at. buy a cart, it's already balanced, swap on turbine and comp housing (in your back yard even). If you had to pay someone to put the housings on i'd be pretty cheap ~50 a turbo as it really is a 20 minute job.

be careful with these i have had a few customers through (done by large well known performance turbo reman guys) and the cars were never able to match the old numbers.... We had them pulled down and it seem they also used garret wheels (whole garret core) and machined the housing to suit. In these instances the turbos where inferior...... just made a cool spool down noise on shut down :P

I wouldn't trust an unknown company... so i would be getting it rebalanced/checked over here anyway TBH.

Too many people buy stuff over ebay and it comes poorly balanced and so on.

And then x2 that... just to risky for me personally.

Hi,

it comes with MHI bearing housing, compressor wheel, turbine wheel and KAMAK performance thrust bearing kit the strongest kit in the world.

we assembled this CHRA on our Schenck 110 VSR machine.

It is stronger than Greddy one

thats what they said about the item above on ebay?

Being a Mitsu turbo, it should be cheap to get them done, considering you can pick up new CHRA's for under $1000. $500 to fit housings sounds like bollocks to me....

I've had dealings with MTQ and them seem pretty well priced for what I've had.

Also keep in mind that most shops won't give an accurate qoute without eyeballing the turbo.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
