[R33GOD]

i have aquired a turbo thats been off a vl and has been hiflowed.

will it fit onto my r33? and will it line up with my factory cooler piping? t3 flanged??

are they t3 from factory??? how much bigger would it be from my hiflowed rb25 one? worth it?

has minimal shaft play...very minimal

thanks

I think its a Vg30 turbo? yeah it will fit .. I think its meant to be bigger, same housing as r34 turbo .. so compared to r33 turbo highflowed you would see an improvement .. but you may not

it did come off a vl turbo. and it ass end looks bigger. came with an actuator too

im pretty sure its ball bearing. it has no water lines. just oil cooled. that ok?

and theres about 1mm shaft play. is this gonna be ok?

those vl turbo's will fit to the stock manifold but ull have problems with it lining up to the dump pipe

[R33GOD]

im gonna get the dump made up.

[linedup33]

also to add to my last point, with vl turbos, the wastegate flap is in the dump pipe

humm i guess you'll need a vl dump lol I wouldnt say it would pump much more power, I think they take longer to spool but not 100% vg30 turbo is that way because of the 3L engine

[linedup33]

the vl dump pipe bends on the wrong angle they wont line up..if u have all the parts with u have a look n ull understand wat im talking about

[R33GOD]

im gonna get the dump custom made while the car is at the workshop. im not fussed. compaerd to my 25 slide hiflow how do you guys think this one will go in terms of power? slides hiflow made 230 on 16psi.

because its second hand i dont want to run more than 14 psi on this one.

Running a hi-flow for a 3ltr will potentially lead it to be quite nun-responsive compared to a hi-flow made for a 2.5ltr.

I say this because a larger/cropped rear wheel is used for the 3ltrs to get the flow.

So i wish you luck, as your going to need it trying to do something on the cheap (twice)

Could have purchased a decent turbo by now

it dosent fuss me at all. i only paid 250 for the turbo. if it blows in 6 months it blows.

least it will be on the road while my hiflow is being repaired under warranty

trial n error mark. didnt pay much for it. we'll see how it goes. il have the other hiflow for backup just incase

[R33GOD]

heres some pics of it. i dont know the specs but i got some comparison shots from the standard housings

[STATUS]

i think it is just another junk ebay turbo by the looks of it..... maybe worth it if you need to get your car running.... i wouldnt bother especially as you hav already had one dodgy turbo let go....time to bite the bullet and get something decent?......but hey who cares what i think

[R31Nismoid]

Thats not a VLT turbo

[R33GOD]

any ideas on what it is anyone?

it did come off a vl and its hiflowed though...well what iv been told

[R33GOD]

oh god i think its one of those "monsta" turbos off ebay. oh well i guess il just run that on low boost til my hiflow gets repaired
