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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
