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.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
