I wouldn't say its a bolt on turbo unless the snout has been modified.

Basically the VG30 snout (compressed ait outlet) is dead straight. The RB20/25's require that the snout first go straight then do a 90degree bend, it then attaches to the IC piping. I poped down to AAA exhaust and had them make up a 90degree 2.5" bend. You are unable to use the RB20/25 turbo snout as it is smaller in diamater. I can't remember if it bolts up or not though. I bought mine for $600, went through 2 turbo's from the same jap importers. Both were stuffed. :rofl: Something to do with how they spray the crates hence moisture gets in to the bearings and rusts them.

ALso.. the VG30 Ball bearing turbo's came from the Infinity/Leopard VG30DET that made 190kw at the flywheel. Not the VG30ET from the old 300zx. Those turbo's are non-BB.

I took the turbo to two places, honeywell garret and j.c diesel which also repair turbos. Both comp-anys told me it was in good working order and it is a ball bearing item. In standard form is only good for 1bar maximum. Before i bought this turbo i rang at least 12 different places and only 2 places had one in stock. I got quoted $550 at one place and $770 at another. Some guy from this forum was going to sell me one for $900. As for documentation does it realy matter? it is a second hand item im selling and i have had it checked out by two different places. Price still stands at $500

GTST,

The oil & water lines don't have to be modifed IF the turbo is Ball Bearing.

There is one oil line that feeds in from the top of the turbo and a water line that feeds in to the turbo from the side of which the block is (its a bastard to do up as well).

Use the lines from your old RB turbo. Bolt up perfectly. As I said before the 'only' thing that has to be modified is the compressor's outlet so that it mates up with the IC piping.

Is there any chance of a pic from above to view the core? (inbetween compressor & exhaust wheel)

$500 is around the price peoples.

I had a look at the turbo and it does have an oil feed from the top etc. I know the series 1 rb25 turbo has 45v2 on the front cover. The main advantage of this turbo over the standard rb25 is that it has a slightly bigger ration on the exhaust housing, the guy at garret confirmed that for me. Thank you very much Joel for backing me up on price.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
