Hey guys,

I recently purchased this turbo and was planning to use it on my ca18 silvia. I now have to sell my car so this turbo is up for sale. Its a rb25 turbo from a R33 which has been hiflowed and rebuilt by Precision Turbochargers in Port Macquarie. Its also been machined and now uses a larger sierra wheel. This turbo has been barely used and is like new. Would be a great upgrade for rb20 or even rb25

I can do $850 posted for quick sale, as funds are low atm :P

I am on the Sunshine Coast if you can pickup

I belive only the series 2 R33 turbo's are BB.......Going by the information i was able to obtain in regards to markings on the housings.......yours appears to be series 1.

I could be wrong of course (been known to happen :rofl: )

sorry to possibly hinder your sale......just feel it is better to be sure before sale rather than have the buyer come back after purchase upset. Good luck.......hope it is BB (that means mine is too then :rofl: )

Thanks RiverSide I was under the impression r33 turbos were BB. With the number on the cover can any one clear this up for me? if its either BB or not the rebuild/hiflow cost $1300 so this is a still a good price. Priced for a quick sale.

actually fane, I know for a fact that my R33 Series II turbo has 45v3 on it, not 45v2. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it would be a rebuilt s1 turbo, which is still ball bearing anyway.

Good luck with sale!

Just throw a spanner in the works again.........what series would it be if it has V4 written on it?

Would that be off a very late model R33?

ps. I am being serious, I am looking at one for the wifes car it is stamped V4. With all those numbers flying around in this thread i thought you guys might have thought i was taking the piss.

stop dribbling shit

i had a vg30et turbo

which had 45v4

seen ones with 45v2

i dunno whats up with it but there all the same in some way

but yeah

series 2 rb20 and onwards turbos were ballbearing i heard

some vg30et turbos were aswell

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
