hey guys ive got a R32 ball bearing T3 turbo for sale that i no longer need.

its has no shaft play other than the natural little bit of forward to back (2mm) that you get with ball bearing core.

absolutely NO side to side shaft play, ie a PERFECT condition turbo.

only done 65,000k's on stock boost for 60,000 of that, and 10pound for the other 5,000

will NOT be dissapointed

absolutely NO cracks at all in this turbo, ie none on the exhaust housing near the wheels like most T3's have, and none at the wastegate port.

comes with actuator aswell.

in SE melbourne suburbs, and you can have a look at it before you buy.

looking for $320 ono as i want to sell asap.

reason for selling is that i purchased this for an mx6 conversion, but i have picked up a manifold to suit a wrx turbo.

here are some pictures of it, note it has a slightly polished compressor housing!

2mm is A LOT of play dude...

you sure it still works!?!?!

i know there is sposed to be a tiny bit of play but its sposed to be like 0.5mm

u on drugs mate? 1-2mm is normal for any turbo, by no means is it alot

i thought ball bearing is standard on most if not ALL RB series turbo.

as was 10psi....coz thats teh wastegate actuator is rated at.

there should be any in and out for ball bearing with no fluid ..... far as i know. my r31 turbo is ball bearing ..has no in out or any side to side and has done nearly 175,000kms

dude they are ceramic turbos on rb series not ball bearing ?

there ceramic ballbearing turbo's.on r32 and so on.

what the hell are u on about?

as merlin and a few others have already said.. stock R32, R33 and R34 turbos are ALL ceramic NOT ball bearing.

wtfs a ceramic ball bearing turbo?

why do you think the most common upgrade is TO a BB turbo like the VG30?

most of the rb turbos ARE ball bearing. then you have the occasional one that has cooling fins in between the two housings that are bush bearing.

that turbo has no cooling fins and is therefore ball bearing

by ceramic people mean that the rear wheel of the turbo is ceramic and thats why you cant run more than 1 bar without the wheel shooting off.

ceramic has nothing to do with if its ball bearing or not.

far out, some people shoot there mouth off without having any idea. All the r31 rb20's were bush bearing aswell as the series 1 r32 rb20's series 2 R32's and onwards are all ball bearing and all have ceramic exhaust wheels i believe standard!

yes sorry... i take that back and apologize... VG30s have a steel wheel which is why most people upgrade to em... unlike the ceramic RB20/25 Turbos.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
