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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
