R34 Neo Turbo

[Forged]

Pulled the factory turbo off my Gtt and found out it has metal compressor wheel instead of plastic. Is this factory item or has it been modified in Japan?

How much can i get for it? (excellent condition from what i can see, car's done 68kkm)

Cheers

Its been modified. Not factory.

If its using replacement blades, $500.

Send it to a turbo expert, get them to have a look at it though if you ask me.

Do you if its been hi-flowed or not? As that would be worth more, and i would be keeping it

[Forged]

well, thats good news. i was going to sell it and get a slide highflow turbo, as i have a trust high mount manifold. whos a reliable turbo expert in sydney northshore?

S1 R33's are metal yea?

this has been talked about a couple of times and some late series r34s suposedly have steel comp wheels std from factory

but the turbine wheels are still ceramic on all of them so even if this is the case its totally useless

yes ceramic turbine wheel, but my gtt is a 98 model so maybe the turbo is from a later model.

heres some pictures. does it look like its been highflowed?

[Adriano]

yep, have you checked the ex wheel to see if its ceramic?

[paulr33]

yeah the compressor isnt as important. whats on the rear matters.

im guessing ceramic which makes its okish for mild applications. probably worth maybe $600 ?

its the same rear as the vg30 (well i think it is anyhoo) so it could be worth a touch over $500

nah, that looks like a standard turbo to me. Ceramic means stock turbo end of story. It is the exhaust wheel that normally goes. People would not get the turbo rebuilt and get front changed and not the rear. You cannot take the rear wheel off without it cracking. There is no way you could change the front wheel. That is NOT highflowed. If you compare it to a slide turbo, you'll notice the slide turbo has the snout bored out heaps.

There's a lot of bs being thrown around in this thread.

Most likely it could even be an r33 sI turbo, in which case it's worth jack shit.

If it's an r33 turbo, it's worth 250-300.

If it's an r34 turbo, it's worth - 350. One just sold for 350 with 70 000 ks on it.
