hi all ,I recently purchased a hks gt2835 pro s of a SAU member,

ive noticed it has some side play which is a little more than i would like but seems like it would still be ok,

the thing i`m not too sure about is front to back movement.applying forward pressure to the turbine shaft then counter on the comp end i get (without

measuring properly) movement forward and back.enough to clearly see and feel..from what ive read the desired end float is zero,

so my question is ...Is there a ok amount of end float or is it likey in need of a rebuild ?

i dont have a dial guage or the like ,is there another way to measure it ? cheers.

when I had this turbo check by a workshop they did say the movement I was worried about was normal for BB turbo and that once it had oil floating the bearings it would be fine....

they said I was worried about nothing and I took their word for it... it seems once I started searching BB turbos do have some movement in them...

hey cheers,I did consider oil pressure coming in to play,

but with my limited experience with turbos wanted to be sure b4 fitting it up,

"can you take a guess as to how much end to end movement?" At a guess not much more than 1mm or so,its hard to say though.

After what 75coupe said I feel much better about going ahead :cheers:

Thanks guys for your help.

my brand new garrett had .5 of a mm, had it off the car about a month ago (after about 10,000kms), still had .5mm... (or there about, something so small I can only just feel it when I push the blades in - think you'll find it will be quite normal )

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.

      Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
