ok so I just finally got my car running sweet just got the new exhaust on and driving it home and the turbine wheel exploded. It's a rb25 turbo was ment to be high flowed not the case as it seems. My biggest worry now is it was high mounted could the bits of wheel go back into the block and cause damage? Also I'm now in need of a new turbo any suggestions and I want it to highmount as iv already got everything set up that way and yes I have read the rb20 forum but would still like suggestions/ advice.

My mods are

3 inch exhaust

35 mm turbosmart external gate

Stainless highmount

32 gtr cooler 2.5 inch piping

Tommi fpr

Walbro fuel pump

New hd clutch

And replaced every gasket on the motor and sensors

Will be putting in 550 injectors

And I'm getting a nistune once this is sorted

Help would be very apriciated

Thanks in advance

Hi or lo mount won't make much difference as to whether any turbine fragments made it back inside. That's all due to the random acts of gas flow and whether any blades were released in the direction of the manifold flange.

Looking at the Hipergear thread, you'd be hard pressed to go past getting one of his. You'd probably be smart to try to get hold of another turbo with an OP6 housing on it, but they could hiflow yours quite successfully. ~$900 for mucho boost+flow.

I already have one welded up to suite wastegate I might check that out then sounds good I'm only chasing 220 to 240 kw anywhere close and I'll be happy. I might just take the manifold off to be safe. What about a gt30r heard these are good for a 20 or even a td05 or 6 I was leaning more towards that option Thanks for the help

Hi flowed RB25 turbo is perfect for this. They are good for 240-250rwkw.

Yep good idea

Well you could... But your only chasing 240kw. The high flow will be cheaper, As said, $900 or so.

I was just thinking about leaving some more head room incase I get over the 250 mark. I don't want to have to buy a turbo again to make more power I would like to install cams and gears later down the track to get a bit more out. I have my waste gate set to 17 psi and was thinking with a td05 I would get good power still and not loose to much response I'm not worried about lag its a 20 need lag to get good power. Also the rb turbos don't seen to suite the highmount to well very close to engine because of the flange. I would rather just do it right the first time and have it done then all I need is boost. I'm no expert I'm a metal fabricator not a mechanic so what would be my best option if I wanted to push 240 and up and please don't say buy a rb25 because it's not a option

I pulled the turbo off today and stripped it the wheel has caused exssive damage to the op6 housing gouges and dints everywhere there was a lot of burnt oil in there as well so I'm thinking a big chunk can through and that's what caused this problem as it was only on 8 psi. Can the rear housing be re machined and used as a high flow so I can sell it? Compressor wheel is fine. Iv also put in a injury for a td05H-16g6 with a 8 cm housing t3 flanged would this be a good option for both response and power?

Ok thanks for the Help mate I also did a serch on the td06l2-20g and it seems that the only difference is the turbine wheel is a few mm smaller but compressor is that same would the results be similar I'm guessing it wound run out of puff faster that's all

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
