i ws just on the hypergear website and they start rebuilds at around 400 and thats all bearing and gaskets and thats if they dont need to replace any broken parts

is that a good price or does someone do it better then 400

yea thats what i thought and i can find a few bolt on ones off ebay for 400 but i really dont know the item and im unsure of the quality and reliability of it and how much to you think a hypergear fi-flow turbo would cost because im very keen to upgread and i wouldnt mind a nice 250kw or more but its my day to day car and not have the money to upgrade the injectors ecu afm and turbo at this point but if its almost the same price to hi-flow it i may aswell do that

also can i run a hiflowed turbo with stock injectors ecu and fuel put and afm and just run stock boost??

Or for a little bit more you can get an atr43 to suit 250kw or 300 depending on your goals. I've got my atr43 ss1 running 7psi so there isn't much reason you can't modify slowly, just be very careful about what you do in what order, I cracked a piston by taking too long to get it all tuned. But I did make 230kw with a cracked piston.

Im still pretty new on this site, let me answer this one lol

Option 1 - upgraded turbo = Tune, do u have a aftermarket ecu, if not ur up for about $5000+ (new turbo, ecu and tune)

How'd i do ?

You failed miserably unfortunately..

No way a new turbo, ecu + tune would cost this much.

Maybe if you went top of the line everything which he doesn't want to do.

Turbo = $900-1000

ECU = $600 - $1600

Tune = $500 - $800

Total = $3400 for something like

Power FC, 250-270kw hypergear turbo, tune

Total = $2000 for something like

Nistune ECU, Hypergear turbo 230kw + tune = 220kw max with stock injectors

I dont see that i did, $1500 isnt much. If i was to be taking the next step, id be spending a lil more than $1000 on a new turbo

The HG turbo needs to magic itself onto the car for it to only cost $800-1000.

Its the hidden extras, like intake pipes, exhaust mods, injectors, AFM's, oil/water lines, stud replacement etc that some turbos require that is a hidden cost to upgrading.

Buying the parts is the easy part.

Everything costs money unless you bolt a stock one on. Plus good turbos can be had from 750 (kando) then your usual mods same as hypergear. Also is there oil in the dump all turbos have some shaft play no matter how new.

Which HG turbo? A simple rebuild/hiflow yes other HG turbos no. Don't forget labour.

Getting back to the OP I am still not convinced his turbo has anything wrong with it since it still makes boost so the best thing is to correctly diagnose what is happening before buying any parts.

ps. my daily driver has had a whole lot more than $1k spent on turbos over the years...like most SAU'ers.

^ my simple turbo replacement turned into a 10k rebuild pretty quickly lol.

quick question im looking at a really cheap r34 turbo with no nosie and no shaft play and lie $150 mates rates :) i was just wondering how much shit can it handle because im going to go the road of hiflowing my r33 turbo

    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
