Rebuilding Factory Turbos With Steel Fins

[staticc]

Hey guys.

Im new to all this, and a few of weeks ago took prise possesion of a R32 GTR. I love this car to bits, but after owning a VX SS with 260kws at the wheels I have desided to make a list of upgrades to make the GTR a bit quicker then it is (its quite standard)

After trailing though this brillant forum, I have desided on getting a power fc and a tune. But doing some reseach, I thought I would like to keep it Twin Turbo, but get the turbos rebuilt with some sort of kit on top of the power fc and tune.

Im just wondering if anyone has gone down this path, or has any comments on where i should look?

Cheers people

It's hardly worth rebuilding the stock units with the price of new turbos from Garrett

can be done, but much better idea is to get some Garrett 2860-9's straight bolt on factory replacement and will be morjust as responsiveas the rebuilt/hi flowed standard turbos.

There was a mob on ebay selling direct replacement steel wheels for GTR turbos, but I never heard of any good results with them.

A rebuild on the standard turbos will be similar money to the -9's anyway, which are good for around 320rwks on pump 98

any way I hope I havent confused you

Keep it Local - Scooby has a set of -7s going for $1700 and their ceramic coated. Good for 300+awkws.

Less than 5000kms on them.

Twin Turbo's

Cheers guys.

I am a newbie when it comes to turbo cars. Having Falcons and Commodores and working for Holden at one stage as a mechanic, I know them very well and they are easy to mod.

So silly questions might still turn up here until i get a better understanding.

^^ good option for ~500 cheaper than brand new
