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 :)

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 :)

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..

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 :)

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
