i suppose you could reuse it if its in ok condition, i just that you can pick up a new one for around $20 so why not change it, it would be a real pain if you had to pull it all off again to change it out if it doesn't seal up properly. the nuts should be up tighter than that, but they do work themselves loose over time (and by time i mean years) with the heat, thats why the locking tabs are on there.

how did you go removing it all, easy enough?

To remove the turbo was ,very easy,much easier than installing the SS.dump pipe ,the six bolts that hold the dump are going to be replaced (10.85 for 4 bolts and 2 studs with nut)I will need to retap one of the threads of the turbo ;easy to do ,24 mm. water lines were easy so I think the hardest part was all the pieces I took ...so yep excited to put the turbo back and see the increase in boost( Tao at Hypergear hiflowed it :ermm: )so after that need to save money and get the timing belt change done(hard to save money thinking all the mods that can help the new turbo)Tao told me that with the right mods it can run 250Kw. to the wheels...tempting very tempting (where do I sell a kidney?)

  • 2 weeks later...

After a week of driving the car,it feels a bit slugghier than it use to be(bigger steel alloy turbine)so I need to change my way of drive .

Now the interesting bit, this morning took a bloke that works with me for a spin around the block where I work,the stag was in auto ....pedal to the metal ,it took of 1 to 1.5 secs after, got in boost and SPINNED THE WHEELS :) , man this is going insane never imagined to burn rubber on the stag (and only on 12 psi with basic mods...).

Very happy with the power figures of the Hiflowed turbo...

Now I want MORE....

(a very special thanks to stao from Hypergear) :P

I know what you mean about having to change your driving style. no more trying to quickly pull out onto the road or around a corner in busy traffic, got to take the lag into account lol

What ecu are you running Freddy?

I 'm runing stock ecu,installed and SAFC2 couple of months ago(never tuned),now it feelslike "why in the name of...I didn't buy a nistune in the group buy?????" but,never wanted to hi flow /upgrade turbo...until stock failed,so I had two roads,buy a second hand stock one or hi flow decided on hi flow because they gave me one year warranty(you never know about second hand turbos...)

and just to clarify QW32, the current mods are:HDI boost controller @12 psi , Xforce 3" dump/front pipe, Catco cat ,Fujitsubo legalis catback and Apexi pod filter...

Mine is a 1999 RS4V so it's single turbo RB25DET NEO engine de only stagea with twins is the 260RS wich has a RB26DETT engine...

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
