Hi all

if anyone has an old standard M35 turbo they want to sell (or loan), please let me know.

It doesn't have to be working, as long as there are no cracks on the inner turbine & compressor housings.

I'm wanting to get one high flowed & then swap over with mine so as to have minimal time off the road.

Will be happy to return my turbo after this if you want it for your own project (it could be better than your current one).

Alternatively, in the interests of helping out the community, I can make it available for others who would like to do the same swap as me - sort of a loan turbo.

Cheers, Leon.

Sounds like you might be going down the Hypergear route?

I'll also be interested in utilising a loan turbo in a few months if someone is prepared to make one available, or if you want to defray the cost a bit Leon.thumbsup.gif

I would lend my housings out but there's no guarantee I would have a good set if I ever decide to put it back in. I may know where to get another damaged turbo though, I will get back to you.

You guessed it, lol. It looks like the best value option for my needs, but I've only really been thinking about it for a few days.

It makes sense to me to have one ready to go in at the same time as you take the old one out. Could be a bonus if you're paying for workshop time, or if (like me) you forget how you got the bolts out the week before.

Thanks Scott, it'd be great if you stumbled across one in your travels. I'm in no particular hurry as my car is still driveable, for now.

Didn't I read recently where you said you hadn't seen a standard turbo with a cracked housing? But I wouldn't be lending yours out if it is still in good working order.

I've got one too FYI Leon.

Cheers

Haha, they're everywhere it seems. Thanks mate, but I think I'm right to go.

Good to know Jase, I might need one too! :thumbsup:

Did you high flow yours?

That was the plan, just haven't gotten to it. That said, I'm not sure my spare is even stuffed? Has no side to side shaft play, maybe a little in-out play.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
