Tried to search but came up bust.

Quick question as to how much shaft play is acceptable.

Side to side there will be some movement...when there is no fluid in the turbo.

what im really wondering about is how much IN and OUT movement is acceptable if any at all.

reason is that im about to swap my turbo for a larger RB25 ...but im perdantic *spelling* about how much play it has. So say it has f**k all.. but to me ..if it has any it cant be good? say less than 1mm

thanks heaps

Matt

I've had about 3x rb25 turbos (bought and sold), and my old rb20 one.. all have had about 1mm play in and out, and the turbos have been working fine on the cars.

You will be able to feel it pull in and out a tiny bit, which I am pretty sure is normal. They've all pretty much had zero side to side movement.

ahh ok sweet

so i should be enteering lag city shortly.

the exhaust housing as OP6 on it but the compressor has 45V2 on itand the 25 elbow fits on it nicely.

is it late model RB25 Neo ? maybe latmodel VG30DET...

I think the 45v2 compressors are earlier ones.. can come with diff exhaust housing for the VG30 ones, not sure..

I got an RB25 highflow on my rb20, its not too bad for lag... bit more than the stocker for instant wheel spin action, but when it gets going pulls pretty nicely. Still waiting for tune to get the most of it tho.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
