Yep sent to him. Sadly in Canberra though...

It's pretty close to, if not, a 3076 from what I was told. Unsure of exact specs but will chase it up for future reference.

must be a stage 2 sierra? perhaps you might wanna open up that wastegate.

im joking mate. should be fine with the bigger wastegate.

mine blew up twice due to oil starvation

is boost creeping due to unsatisfactory wastegate and stronger spring

etc.

if i end up having to do it again. im going with craigs turbo.

FYP

Lol at the simple dude

Hopefully not. Been supplied a new oil line and were going to ensure the feed is 3mm all the way to the turbo. Wastegate actuator has been modified by Scotty so should hopefully hold ok.

I'm gonna get a boost gauge though so I can keep a more accurate eye on it me thinks..

lol i couldnt remember it while i was typing.

once its all fixed up you shouldnt have ny over boosting issues. it should hold a flat 15-16 psi with that spring,,

The good news - from the 5min drive I did have it felt pretty strong, especially in the midrange. Cnsidering it's about $400 cheaper than the precision turbo rebuild I'd consider it a good option. That being said, if I had my time again id firstly pull the engine and go for a precision turbo rebuild, for ease of installation.

Anyway, another week and a half or so and it'll be back on the road

Big thanks to Jetwreck, massive effort so far...

So what is a a second removal and Install of the turbo going to cost you?

I would have thought that is at least 8 hours extra work at what every rate you have agreed with Jetwreck.

I would call that a terrible build for our car if there is even the slightest possibility that it would require additional work around the turbo that you have now seen is stupidly tight.

I still have nightmares about my turbo change.... :woot: seems to always conjure images of half naked girls and orgies... (that is a whole different story... lol )

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
