Hey all,

If this has been covered already can someone direct me, if not im looking at putting a new turbo on my 98 R34 gt-t Rb 25neo mods inc:

Hypergear G2 FNT Turbo.

NIStune ECU with duel fuel maps

550cc injectors.

Blitz Turn Flow FMIC.

Genuine Walbro 255lph fuel pump, with full voltage mod done.

XForce 3" full exhaust with Loboka 100CPI Cat.

Varex 3" Muffler with custom valve button on the dash.

3" Metal intake with pod, hidden inside modified factory box with snorkel

270rwkw on PULP98,

290rwkw on Ethanol (E-Flex),

i have the turbo off it atm due to doing some head work but looking at the turbo it has no markings, letters, serial numbers etc on it, it has abit of shaft play which i am going to get it looked at and what I want to look into is, if it is on its way out what turbo to go for next,

Now i know there is no specific you need this turbo wit these mods but what im looking for is if someone has either abit of an idea around about what would suit or any info on sizing the right turbo, any info would be appreciated

Thanks,

James

Well there should be a small shaft play side to side, but close to none up and down. What you've felt shouldn't be a problem as they all very welly beefed up. if its a G2 would be a .63 turbine with a .60 comp made for around 260rwkws.

you will find that it's quite normal for a plain bearing unit to have some play in a static inspection. Once the engine is started and oil supplied to the bearing, the rotating assembly rides on a cushion or wedge of pressurised oil. Same as your plain bearing journals inside the engine. So the play is taken up by the oil film.

Not difficult to get it inspected by an expert however, if it gives peace of mind.

BTW, those results should

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
