MTQ Engine systems are the largest GT dealer in the country. Try them also

As for your problem, I would say very characteristic of valve stem seals in the cylinder head.

that was my mechanics first thought a few months bak, and since then i have completely rebuily the head - new valves,guides,stem seals everything :yes: so now it just leaves the turbo, unless theres ne other issues that we may be looking over?

Pull it out, strip its housings and check the conditions of its wheels. Turbo is suitable for rebuild only if your wheels are in ok condition with out too much of shaft play. Unfortunately most BB turbos would require a new CHRA for overhaul.

Yes the HKS GT3037 Pro S turbos use the same cartridge as Garretts GT3076R turbo .

The cartridge number is 700177-5007 so you can shop around for the best price on one of them .

Anyone who can remove the compressor jamb nut and the oil inlet ferrule (without bending anything) should be able to strip the cartridge and assess it for you . The advantage of a ball bearing center section is that aside from the turbine end piston ring type exhaust gas seal nothing actually rubs against the bearing housing so unless its had some mechanical failing or the wheels are damaged it may be reusable . It really depends on what the turbo shop has in the way of spare parts .

Like the guys said, depends where you take it. Since i live in Perth i got Grant from http://www.per4manz.com/ to rebuild my HKS GT2835 PRO S.

The rear bearing race had collapsed resulting in the wheels JUST touching the comp housing. He repacked the cartridge/ balanced at a fraction the cost of a new core. Still going strong.

    • Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...
    • I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
