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.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
