hey all, my turbo is starting to get a bit of shaft play and puffs out smoke every now and then.

now my question is, is there a rebuild kit or core replacement?

i dont want a hi flow turbo, its cheaper to buy a new garrett than getting it high flowed anyways. so no interest

i want my turbo to stay stock. i dont mind getting a core with steel wheels either if that is an only option.

if anyone knows where to get one from or part numbers, i would greatly appreciate it.

i prefer not to buy a 2nd hand one, because the same thing will happen again sooner or later.

so recap, stock turbo rebuild kit. that is all

cheers

Jean

Don't know if there is a rebuild kit for stock turbo.

You're better off buy hi-flow or new Garrett turbo really. I know it isn't what you want but there is a reason for no rebuild kit for this sort of turbo (limited market I'd imagine).

ok, just a random update, ive found somebody who claim they offer new cores for the R34 turbos, with 360 thrust bearings or 270 bearings.

but on another side note, i just replaced my stock turbo with another stock turbo, both OP6 turbos, so from a neo engine.

the one turbo i got from a r34gtt had a black front compressor wheel and when i took the cover off, felt kind of like plastic, so i was thinking that flimsy plastic ceramic crap that people claim the turbos have.

NOW the interesting part, when i swapped for my other turbo, came off my "stock" stagea, i took the front housing off that turbo and to my surprise, its a steel wheel!

R34gtt turbo= plastic wheel, fins bend under a bit of pressure

Stagea neo turbo= steel wheel no flex what so ever when putting pressure on the fins

So my question is, where there any revisions in the op6 turbos? from ceramic to steel wheel??

the stagea turbo just had major shaft play from being over boosted accidentally, (17psi) that why the replacement.

both turbo wheels and dimensions are the exact same, no highflows or rebuilds!

im very confused.....

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
