hey guys i made a thread about a turbo i just recently bought just recently and from what some SAUers have seen from pictures, they believe it to be a high flowed r32 turbo. i bought it off a guy that was wrecking a rb25det if i can remember and also told me it was auto but have no idea if this is true.could have possibly been high flowed in japan.

a friend of mine is helping me install this on to my r32 gtst (rb20det) and have just run into a few weird things. we believe the rear housing is different to a standard 32 turbo rear housing? and front compressor seems to be different. i know its a long shot but from the pictures below can anyone point out anything they notice that has been changed on this turbo for me? anything unusual at all? also what types of lines it owuld need to be installed into my 32 as one of the water lines seemed not to match up. any recommendations of places i can get liens for this would also be very much appreciated.

Yeah I rekin it's a highflow as well

the back of the comp housing isn't the stock for sure Looks like a t4 core maybe a t3 t4 highflow ?

The inducer on comp housing looks like its bored bigger and had a hone as well to suit bigger comp wheel

Actuator rod looks different to factory 33 as well

As for the lines take it to a shop that does braided lines some autobahns do speed flow fittings and could knock something up for ya

looks a hell of a lot like the VG30DET turbo ive got at home. . . . .whatever it might be just fit it to your motor and get it tuned to suit and enjoy

only a slight highflow as well. maybe stage 1. my old highflow had the whole lip machined out on the exhaust wheel. 25 turbo does'nt have tapped point on compressor housing either

Looks like a plain bearing vg30 turbo, I hope you didn't pay to much for it.

very highly doubt it buddy.

vg30det have 45vs on compressor cover and op6 rear housing which this doesnt have. also rear wheel is heaps bigger than a stock vg30det wheel so yeh don't think so. getting very mixed reactions...i know its a 32 turbo but in terms of high flow specs just not sure so yeh just hoping someone can see something they recognise through compressor and rearhousing.exhaust wheel modifications. thanks everyone for your input but any other input would be appreciated.

can anyone confirm if these lines should be fine for the turbo also.

It's a mystery bag.

The wheels don't appear to be much bigger then stock.

It's a plain bearing cartridge

It's not an rb20 or 25 cartridge so no point looking for rb specific line kits. Different oil feed needed. The link above doesn't have the right oil feed adapter either.

Honestly, don't waste your time on it.

Ah no worries thanks for letting me know mate. I'll take the turbo somewhere and get some lines made up for it. Can anyone recommend a place in victoria. Just dont know much in terms of fittings, lines and connections.

The centre housing where it connects to the back of the compressor housing looks exactly like the R32 turbo that Hypergear highflowed for me. Compressor housing is R32 turbo, it has the hose connecting up to it which RB25 turbos don't have.

Oh one thing I noticed was where the oil drain pipe goes...thers actually another one on the opposite side...is this normal? You can probably notice it on the 2nd last pic of the first post. Cause at the moment im more concerned about the lines and fittings and what it needs to run properly on my rb20. So its a rb20 high flowed turbo but need to get the connections.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
