Guess who has no exhaust wheel?

[Doctor]

Me

Driving up to the Terrigal going up the Mooney Mooney Bridge and then a little pop then no boost. Hooray no turbo.

I've always said the exhaust needs to be a bit louder and today I got my wish.

For all you people who are running R33/34 turbo's dont run more than 11psi cause that was all that was needed to knock the bastard off.

Alright time for suggestions. My budget is around the $1200 mark.

:Owned:

And I think it was more the kms on the turbo, and not the boost level that caused the exhaust wheel to come off. I ran 1 bar on my R33 GTS-t turbo for more than a year with no problems.

[Doctor]

Nah mate. It only had like 30K odd KMS on the turbo when I bought it as it was off an R34, I put another 20K kms on it so that wouldnt have been the problem.

[Merli]

Maybe R34 turbos are weaker? Dunno...

Doctor, Just Jap in Kirrawee send these turbosa away to be highflowed for $1500 ... give em a call as i am unsure of the specs.

What about supercharging the mongrel?

[Steve]

There is a guy in the for sales selling a VG30 high flow for about $370, might be worth a look.

As for a blower, where would you fit it?

[Doctor]

Have it hanging out of the bonnet!!!!!!!

[warrior_350]

i've always liked the idea of a supercharger never had the cash to do it tho

[EnricoPalazzo]

HPI had their Project R34 loose its exhaust wheel on the dyno at eithe 12 or 14psi. Maybe 34's have weak ass turbos?

[MM2death]

Sorry to hear man....it's always something in the back of my mind when pushing my cars limits.

That was me, the VG30 is sold. It should put out 15kw or so more than the rb25 turbo. I am having my turbo rebuilt at the mo. It already had a compressor that was slightly bigger than the VG30 and a rb25 turbine and housing, it already made 225rwkw. I am having it rebuilt with a VG30 turbine and housing. I am chasing slightly better top end.

oh well time for an upgrade

[Doctor]

Yeah agreed. What to buy, what to buy?

[adam 32]

with a budget of $1200 you could get a VG30 or rebuild yours

small garrett and HKS turbos like the GT35 and 2530 are around the $2K mark

[Doctor]

Ive heard such varying thoughts on hi flowing though. Least i can still drive the car around and take my time to think about my purchase.

[nissky]

damn...

not good to hear, and at only 11, well at least you got 20K out of it

im still going to keep using my 11 low and 13 high boost settings

(r34 turbo) :uh-huh: , cause im really not impressed with it until after 10psi (how quickly mods feel slow after you get use to them!)

i'll start my hks2530 turbo fund now

[B-Man]

Bad luck Doc

Time for the RB25DET transplant

[meggala]

call gcg doc they do a hiflow for around that price plain bearing though

[Doctor]

Well, to my amazement I decided to have a little sniff around the turbo last week and after taking off the heat sheilds discovered that the bloody wastegate control arm detached itself from the wastegate flap. Phew saved me a few hunge and alot of buggerising around.

Only problem now is that the gasket between the turbo and manifold is busted. If its not one thing its another!!!!
