Was going to get it looked at to confirm if it needed a rebuilt but now I want bigger so I haven't done so..asking price is $1100 Ono.(considering it may need a rebuild). Inspection welcome

are you serious mate 1100 for a turbo that possibly needs a rebuild that you can buy brand new for $1300 . BAAAAA HAAAA AHAAAAA

Your actually right-probably shoulda researched this a little better before taking other's advice on what it's worth..I clearly paid too much for this...cheers for the comment dude

Offers on turbs....

actually no you cant for a garrett

however i do think the price is a bit high for one that needs a rebuild

U can get second handys close to 1300, brand new Im not 100% on price-my understanding is they are 1800-2000 range from what I've been told, if someone knows what they are brand new pm me I'd be interested to know..

Offers anyways,no hurry to sell,may end up keeping and getting sent in for inspection-use until I get what I want

Have taken to adelaide turbo service and bill inspected it. He said it does not require a rebuild and is in good condition for a second hand turbo. It Is a hks 25/30 not Garrett as I previous mentioned..the hks use a Garrett front on The 2530. It was previously on another car making 250rwk, but best suits rb20. These normally sell for 1300 second hand and bill also advised that is what mine is worth. So asking price remains $1100 firm.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
