Hey all - am chasing the names of companies that can rebuild my turbo. The only one I know of is Turbotech. Any others that you would recommend or have experience with? PM me if you feel your comments aren't appropriate for the forum. :thumbsup:

Thanks...

MIQ which is in Victoria road Malaga.9209 1677

Used to be the old Dynamic Turbos operation and is now run by a guy called Eric.

Knows his stuff but can be depressing to talk to :thumbsup:

If you have spoken to him you'll know what I mean. Did my 581's and rebuilds most of Maximums Subaru rally ones.

cheers

Cam,

Any truck or boat tech shop will be able to do it. I had the problem with the old Supra before anyone knew about Jap Imports, just find one of those places, if it is just seals, or trhe mill or the bearing, they will build it and replace component and preasuree test it and all..................

TurboTech charge arm and a leg.........................

They think they are the only gusy in the City, ehehehhehe, but in fact lot more people know the turbo components........

al

The good thing about those places they can find parts for them without you having to buy entire kit for the turbo...............

Any diesel engine shop, might be able to help......if you are finding parts as stand alone or got the turbo out and can do it yourself.........

My sisters huby did it for me :(

Thanks for the info guys.. I ended up saving my pennies for now and sourcing a 2nd hand stock unit.. The upgrade will be comming after my Euro trip this year (which is why I'm trying to save $)...

Again - thanks guys.. I think I'll be getting a VL unit in October. :(

Hmm - fitting the turbo is turning into more than just a re-bolt on. Have found some problems as a direct result of bad workmanship by *** performance (in wangara - you work it out) who fitted the dump - missing bolts and flange holes not lining up by a mile. You wouldn't think the fabrication of a flange would be so hard...

Anyways - on inspecting the compressor wheel on my old turbo vs my new one, I found that the new one has dual vanes while the old one has single? Any ideas? I'll post up comparative pics tonight.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
