Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm heading onto my black license soon and I was just wondering what kind of manual 33's and 34's (turbo) were out there around that $11,000 - $12,000 mark. I'm looking for something as close to stock as possible because I won't be taking this car to a track, it will be a daily. If anyone was thinking about selling their car in a couple of months or has something that fits the bill I would love to see what is out there. It is also preferable that it has low kms. Thanks in advance!

12000... rule 34s out.

itll be a piece of shit, may as well buy an excel with a turbo on it, will cost you less to fix

Hmm that's what I was thinking, would you have a rough estimate of what a decent 34 will set me back?

i spent 17500 a year ago, stock as, nothing touched not even the sound system

first thing i did was service everything, 100k service, plus every fluid, plugs, brakes, gave it a good detail and its one of the best, since then added wheels and a few other little mods and you can see the pic below :)

so yeah id say 17k, if you want a less popular colour like white maybe 15?

just dont buy off someone dodgy, someone straight up that will tell you everything about it.

and dont buy the first one you look at, look at heaps then you can tell whats good and what has had the clocks wound back, for example seats and steering wheels will be in worse condition then others and engine bays will look worse then others.

hey mate, check out my 33

in great condition, good kms for a 96 model and you'll save yourself some money

cheers, Angus

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
