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 havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
