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.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
