i can help you out with a new rb25 turbo in about a months time ...

only time i have to get over to gcg and purchase a new hi flow, and fit it, but after i'll have a nice 58k perfect condition rb25 tubby up for grabs ...

let me know if you are interested

cheers

Shark33 - I purchased mine about 2 years ago for $350.

they tend to go for about $500 at the most.

try to get a Series 1 R33 turbo.

the series 2 and R34 gtt ones have a Plastic compressor wheel and ceramic exhaust wheel where as the series 1 r33 have a steel compressor wheel and ceramic exhaust wheel.

good upgrade..

good luck.

2 sides to every story.

Yes it is better than steel as it is lighter and therefore quicker to spool (or at least as fast as the R33 one even though the R34 one is slightly larger)

NO it's not better because it is quicker to fail than the steel item.

which is more important to you?

You want to pay about $700+ for an R34 turbo which is more likely to fail (and lets not forget that this is the compressor wheel, which means that when it lets go, it's going inwards towards your intercooler and throttle body)....

OR

you want to pay about $500 for a turbo which will produce almost same numbers and last you a much longer time?

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
