The VG30DET turbo's from the Leopard or similiar have a larger exhaust a/r BUT have a slightly smaller compressor wheel than the RB25 terbs.

They are ball bearing and have a ceramic exhaust wheel.

They are worth around $400.

There is an older VG30DET turbo that is non-BB and has steel wheels.

They are slightly cheaper again.

You may be better off hunting for a second hand T3/4 from a jap wrecker. I've seen them for around 1k. I've seen RB25 turbo's from jap wreckers from $600-$800.

They can be found for $500 or so from those RB25 owners upgrading their turbo's.

Yep well i have the ball bearing VG30 one...Im looking to get around $300 for it, i bought it for my FJ20, but i've bought a manifold that i was told the turbo would fit onto and it didn't So i had to buy the turbo as well not that thats a big issue hehe

[Cubes]

So which one do you have the BB or the non-BB?

I'm going to be running the stocker turbo on the RB30det for a little while.

I may grab the sucker if the other bloke doesn't and see how it goes on the 3ltr.

I've had one on the 2ltr and it was crap, 12psi by 4200rpm

[R33_KRAZY]

so will this 1 b just as good as the stoker was..or will it b better/worse....if it is beta or jus as good then ill take it of ya hands so long as in VERY GOOD condition

[Cubes]

It will be ever so slightly worse.

It may open up the top end slightly but I doubt it. Its cheap but doesn't really match the RB25 turbo. But for the price you can't go wrong.

[R33_KRAZY]

an also yeah i will get a BOV.....probly HKS SSQV...so if ne1 has got 1 of them 2 suit R33 already..ie: cbf gettin adaptor made or buying 1 seperate...jus want 2 get it an bolt it on

Who diagnosed it as a blown turbo seal?

[Cubes]

R33_Krazy,

Let me know if you are going to grab that turbo.

If not i'll grab it in ~2weeks when i'm sure i'm not going to need the $300 for any little things that should arise with the RB30.

[R33_KRAZY]

my bro's friend talked 2 me on the fone an asked me 4 million q's an reakond it was a blown turbo seal..

[Craved]

is there oil in the piping before the turbo????

Well that doesn't sound like the most reputable source now... does it?

Perhaps before spending your cash on a new turbo, you should get the problem professionally diagnosed?

I think you'll find your answer lies in the 3rd post in this thread. Everything points to a cracked ringland and a whole heap of blow-by. Take Buster's advice and get a leakdown test. It's cheap, and I think it'll save you about $300 or however much you're planning on buying a VG30 turbo for

[Cubes]

I'm not going to cut your lunch so to speak so get the car checked out first.

Then if it is the turbo grab the vg30.

If you decide not to well... I'll grab it.

[R33_KRAZY]

thanx im alwayz after a second opinion....will try 2 get 1 done 2morrow......mate i have no idea wats rong with it..thats y came on here 4 sum advice.....so thank u every1..will let all know wat the prob is 2morrow if i can get cheked

Be surprised if he is wrong.
