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)

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.

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.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
