hey gucio,

you have a few opinions the cheapest one is

A) buy a stock rb25 turbo (from an r33 or r34) they are a direct bolt on if you have the later model waterlines, you need to an rb25 outlet elbo too as the 20 is too small

cost anywhere from $300 to $500 (depend model and km)

Then you have the aftermarket opinions;

Most common is the HKS GT seriers, being GT2530, Gt2535, Gt2540;

They are all bolt-on; cost anywhere from $1,000 to about $1,700.

Im not sure where u could findone in perth, i guess just check the forsale section, they are always for sale in japan (could get one for as cheap as $1200)

Hope this helps-

Michael

Cheers mate

I have found a R34 turbo so hopefully that will all fit up

What do you mean later model waterline?

I have 1989 model so does that mean that the water lines will not fit?

Yeah already tried the Popstick Idea!! Thanks :O

Cheers

Well i have an rb20 turbo on my r33, and when i went to swap it with an rb25 turbo, i found that the oil lines fit but the water lines didnt fit, i then found out that the later model water lines from an rb20 would fit but im not sure what year etc, are the later models.

Guess the best way to try and see if it fits or not is just to install the turbo (not a very hard job,just takes abit of time) but if it doesnt fit in the end it just becomes a pain in the ass putting everything back :D

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
