Have a chipped exhaust turbine with scoring to housing. Found when pulled off the dump.

Anyone got a second hand OEM turbo for sale? Price?

Car is in Sydney at the moment so other option is hiflow / kit out? Can anyone let me know where in Sydney I could get this done and what they paid please?

No spare turbo but.. I went with Precision Turbo (John 9756 5757) to rebuild my turbo.

I had it rebuilt as what is called a Sierra Stage 1.

this basically means Journal bearing, metal impella and slightly bigger inlet and exhaust.

Net result, a little more lag (boost is starting around 2700 and on full boost are 3000), but comes on strong above 3000rpm. Makes the car a little more comfortable to drive in traffic and when you want the power it is there above 3000rpm.

I gained around 15% more power just from the turbo change (comparative Power Score from my Informeter). :banana:

The other important thing to note is that with this turbo at redline I am at 98% duty cycle on the injectors.

So if you go for a bigger turbo bare in mind you will need to look at bigger injectors or risk running the car too lean.

98% duty cycle with no mods other than high flow turbo still running factory boost?? that doesnt sound right!

How many CCs are the factory units?

I never said no other mods.... :whistling:

Mods are:

HDI FMIC

3 inch dump pipe

3 inch exhaust

Runner spacer

3 inch inlet pipe

Impul ECU

+ turbo

There are endless wheel options, it would depend on your power goals, and how happy you will be with the lag. The stock turbo is good for around 200awkw with steel wheels, highflow can make over 250awkw, (300 on ethanol) anything above that you should be looking at one of the new garrett GTX turbos and building a custom manifold. Big bux.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
