Hi guys,

It has been a while :P Life is busy...

Anyway, I need to replace the turbo on my Stag - the original is whining like a jet about to take off. Unfortunately, the cash is just not there for a serious upgrade, so I am looking to replace the turbo with something pretty stock, that will involve nothing more than bolting in and fitting up. I don't want to have to worry about wrong intake/outlet diameters etc, so can anyone tell me what the specs are that MUST be right to make this as simple as possible? And any idea what I should get? I just enjoy driving my Stag, I ain't a mechanic or a fanatic, so I really have very little idea.

TIA, and, it's good to be back, even if it is for the wrong reason...

Hey Sk0pe,

if you can't get a healthy standard used turbo (the s1 Stagea uses the s2 R33-spec turbo), then I believe the best replacement is a Garrett GT28RS, which AFAIK is a direct replacement.

Your best bet is to give a workshop a call and check with them, or speak to GCG who sell and rebuild turbos for Garrett.

Here's a few places in Sydney:

GCG Turbochargers: 1300-TURBOS (or 1300-887-267)

Unique Autosports: 9620-9000

Hills Motorsports: 9899-9962

Good luck!

T3 flange, with rb20/25 exhaust housing

Either R33 or R34 "Neo" turbo are bolt on standard turbo's

an R32 turbo would be a backwards step - small exhaust housing

scour the for sale ads for a high flow turbo

or take your shagged turbo in for a rebuild, where they bore out the intake and exhaust and use new core and new bigger steel wheels

(and compare the highflow quoted prices against the GT28RS)

search ebay, sometimes a R33/34 turbo comes up for sale

how would a gt28rs compare to a highflow? a mate is selling one cheap, brand new, as he decided not to fit it.

Not sure, but this is something I'd like to know as well.

Almost forgot about Just Jap - they have a good selection of turbos too. http://www.justjap.com

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
