Hi guys;

So long story short, I thought i blew my turbo up - turns out the sound was my power steering or something (still not sure, taking it to the mechanic next week). Went through ALOT of hassle to put on an rb25 turbo and then cranked the car up to find out the noise that I suspected was the turbo was still there LOL! I actually thought the wheels were touching the housing etc which was all in my frikkin head. Mechanic had a look at my turbo after and said the amount of vertical shaft play is 100% perfect for a bush bearing turbo - ZERO horizontal movement and wheels spin free as anything. So here I am now :P (good for a laugh i guess).

I wanted a better low end response rather then power and I never actually got the car tuned or did anything after i put this on - just lazy.

So its up for grabs - has done around 30,000 km's or so. I paid somewhere around a grand for it, Hypergear can confirm I guess - but thats besides the point, I would like $450 for the lot which I think is pretty reasonable (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Feel 100% free to come inspect the turbo before you buy it as I'm not a pro and you shouldn't take my word for it - wasn't smoking, no leaks visible anywhere, blades are fine, came off a running car yadda yadda.

Comes with everything pictured (I might have a few clamps etc i can throw in). I can ship it interstate for $30 also. I'm located in Box Hill.

Let me know what you think - this should work really well on an rb25 (or anything when you spend time and tune the bloody thing :P)

Just in case its unclear - here's whats included

- Turbo (no dump pipe)

- 2x silicon joiners

- Braided oil line

- Actuator with hose

- Aluminium intake elbow

- rubber bend (one of the intercooler joins i think)

Items came off an Rb20.

hey mate, is it a 1st or 2nd gen tr43?

I just found out yesterday after someone sent me a PM that there were generation in this, if you tell me how to identify it I can tell you? Pretty sure Stao stopped doing these turbo's shortly after I bought this one ...

thanks mate - yea people have made some decent figures with supporting mods - that was why I got it in the first place. Never got around to tuning it and running some high boost through it =/

lol yeah got those figures without a tune, just bolted it on, chucked it on the dyno, up the boost and just made sure everything was running right.

noticed in the pic there is no actuator or flap, need to supply our own?.. also wondering if you know what profile it is as im after the g3 .82 profile..

perhaps u could email stao with a serial no on the centre cartridge to find out?

if you like PM me and we can sort these out and if all is well ill take it.

ATR43G3 .82 FNT wasn't invented till 2x years after this turbo was built. This is a TR43G1 does not blong to any ATR series, and retired. Its good for upto 250rwkws on a Rb25det with ok response.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
