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.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
