Fair enough. But no one had done the R & D that hypergear has and he makes everything in house. Still supporting an Australian business. Just not Brisbane.

Buying a used RB25 turbo for the 31. Who rebuilds these things locally. Want a steel wheel on it and a decent rebuild?

Chris the most important part is the balancing. GCG although not local (Sydney) have a Schenck balancing machine that is one of the best. They are very good and price competitive.

So there is no one local that does this?

Aware of the balancing of these things. Given the speeds they see if they were out a fraction all hell would break loose.

Trying to support local business for a change.as most of you are aware I spend a lot of money overseas on bits for these things

Thought I would give local business a chance at it.

The harmonics on the CHRA assembly of a turbocharger would be only out balanced at certain shaft speed and then balances it self out in neutral, just like as if your front wheel is out of balance and that vibration goes away before and after certain speed.

So regardless of whom ever has what ever balancing equipment, as long as its accurate you can only balance it to a certain point. That does not determine who's high flow job performs better, last longer or provides the best $=HP value.

Any way. Some information for the OP to compare with.

Our high flow out of 21U R33 turbocharger makes 320rwkws on E85 internally gated on a bolton setup with 22psi reached by 3500RPMs. and been in 5th in World Time Attack Sprint class 2013.

This service is for $850 including braided oil line.

Out of interest.. what machine do you use?

We use Hiens dynamic balancing systems. never had issues with any turbochargers that we've balanced.

Get the balancing right is only a small section of the map. There is shaft tolerances, clearances, machining tolerances of the housings, bearing housings, bearing housing bore, fluid dynamics in side the bearing housing, wheel materials, wheels sizes, blade profiles, waste gate assembly and more. Now high flowing factory turbocharger to suit a specific engine requires lots of knowledge and experiences working with that engine, to understand how the customized profile behaves in terms of generating power, boost and efficiency range with limitation of stock housings, in which we've spent lot of time on.

Having a reliable balancing machine can only result a well balanced shaft assembly. Once all criteria mentioned above meets, you have a good turbocharger. So the best way of making better choices is by comparing results.

    • 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.
