i have a stagea which has just killed its turbo, and I am trying to source a second hand one to suit..

It has the rb25det NEO engine, and im finding it tough to find a turbo from a r34

So im wondering if the r33 rb25 turbo is pretty much the same as whats on the NEO engine (i do know about the differences in the exahust and compressor wheels), and if it will bolt straight in place of the existing turbo

thanks

It will just bolt up. It will work. From what I understand, the Stagea turbo is smaller than the OP6 turbo on the R34 anyway, and the only smaller RB25 turbo I know of is the R33 exhaust housing version anyway. So, FWIW, the R33 turbo is probably very close to being the same turbo as what you just killed anyway.

cheers

r34 stock turbos have the bigger op6 exhaust housing than the r33 turbo.

heres a pic of the 2 side by side:

$300 for pats r34 turbo in great condition is a pretty good price i think. Youll probably pay around the $200 mark for a r33 turbo

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
