R33 S2 Highflowed Turbo

Hey guys,

I have a highflowed turbo for sale that came off a stagea I bought recently. The turbo would suit a rebuild as there is some noticeable movement back and forth on the shaft and also side to side. The compressor housing also shows the slighest signs of being touched by the compressor wheel on occasion. The turbo did not make any noise before it came off and had a slight amount of oil left in the cooler pipes.

I have no receipts for the work as it was done by previous owners but I will get pics of the front/rear wheels and its quite obvious that it has been highflowed as they are massive.

Still yet to get a quote from a turbo shop to rebuild this but I would expect around the $400-$500 mark.

Done a search here and these highflows seem to go for about 1300 bucks secondhand so im going to ask $600 for my one as is. Will eventually get a quote on rebuild and may even have this done then sell as a new turbo but I thought I would post it up and see if anyone else wants to take it as is.

Located in Perth but should be ok to post.

Regards,

Ryan

I'm interested, but your dreaming if you think people will pay $600 for a turbo that needs a rebuild.

Also is it ballbearing or journal? Who did the original work? Any dyno sheets?

Fair enough. I wasnt very sure on the price so im open to offers. Feel free to PM me with one. Il also get a quote on the rebuild and at the same time hopefully get some specs. Way I saw it was that people pay 1500 bucks to get their turbo's highflowed, and if my assumptions are correct then this turbo will only need about 400-500 worth of work done to get it rebuilt and working properly as a highflow...so its basically a new highflow for 1k give or take.

Anyway, il get some pics and a quote in the next few days hopefully.

Oh and sorry no specs or dyno sheets. Ive had the car 2 weeks and only drove it half a k before a cooler pipe fell of and subsequently got run over =/.

Cheers guys.

Ok guys I spoke to the turbo place today and they told me the following:

- Definitely a high flow (duh)

- Capable of about 450hp

- Scoring on the compressor housing is easily tidied up.

- Compressor wheel will need replacement as one of the fins is slightly bent ($120 for new wheel)

- To expect about $800 all up for a rebuild inc parts and labour....and it was a worst case scenario sort of quote.

So in light of this the new price for the turbo is 300 ono

turbo is off a series 1 or 2 skyline or equivelent , actuator though is defenently off a series 1 skyline which leads me to believe its a series 1 turbo. rear wheel is defenently bigger and front i think is noticably different like mine with room to go bigger still. rear whwwl is same size as mine. does it have a rear steel for sure???? also core of turbo has noticable blemish marks in the metal which is a sign or uneven heat on the core. as you already know turbos get very hot so try get some close up shots to inspect for cracksin the casting. Really though for 100 dollars i would just buy it any way and take my chances b4 somebody else snaps it up.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
