Gtr Turbos On R33 Gtst

[mcdoof]

Just Wondering Does A Single GTR Turbo (As In One Of The Two) Fit A R33 Gtst Without Fabrication Or Is Some Needed??

[paulr33]

no it doesnt fit - lots of fabrication work required

and its smaller

[mcdoof]

the GTR twin turbos are smaller than GTST turbo

so its a downgrade

Thanks Paul I Blew My Oil Seal In My Turbo... I Just Want

A. To Get It Fixed (Dont Know Where, Pricing)

B. Direct Fit (No Mods And Of Course Pricing)

[paulr33]

your options are;

1. get the current busted turbo highflowed - around $2k for a ball bearing unit

2. get a 2nd hand aftermarket turbo (hks 2530, hks 2535, trust td05, apexi ax)

3. get a new aftermarket turbo (hks gt-rs, hks 2835)

being in nsw ask the guys in the NSW area for a list of workshops, theres probably a list already

CRD and UAS are two workshops that come to mind in NSW , no idea where they are from blacktown

good concise answer but i think you forgot one more option:

4. buy a second hand one for only around $200-$300 and have it put on......if moneys tight...perfectly viable option

ah yeah sorry forgot 2nd hand stocker jobbie

[mcdoof]

ah yeah sorry forgot 2nd hand stocker jobbie

Yeah Thats What I'm Trying To Do So I Don't Have To Worry About It Turning Into A Ball Of Fire (Exagerated I Know)

Just Finding One Is The Hard Bit, At Least Till I Got the Money For The Original To Get Rebuilt.

Just Don't Wanna Have To Get Stuff Fabricated..

Not A Fan Of Making Things Fit Just Want Them To, I Bought A E-bay t04e With All The Extra Fittings,

And It Still Wont Fit So I'm Selling It On E-bay For $300 Just To Make Back Some Of The Money...

Thanks Guys If You Know Someone With A Stocker Could You Drop us A Line It's A Series II Nylon Wheel Turbo

Thanks Again

[paulr33]

seriously throw the to4e in the bin

its not worth the hassles, costs and pain and its crap `1960s technology

get your stocker hiflowed (will last another 100,00kms) or buy a 2nd hand stocker for $300

a 2nd hand stocker will be better than an ebay to4e

I Am Getting Rid Of It Paul Nothing Fits Just got Desperate, Hey What Do They Do When They hiflow Turbos??

What Does It Acheive?? I Understand The Ball Bearing Bit But Not The Rest?!?!?

[paulr33]

hi nic

when a turbo is "old" the bearings and seals become worn

the actual wheels themselves are reasonalby ok

so when they highflow a turbo they rip out the bearing kit (known as CHRA) and replace it with a new ball bearing pack

they replace the wheels with steel wheelies (gets rid of ceramic and plastic wheels), balance it, and service the lines (oil and water)

the only parts that are "retained" when highflowing are the housings and compressors cover as they don't "wear out"

they even bore out the exhaust snout to get more "flow" out of it - hence the name highflowing

the only difference between servicing a turbo at its scheduled 100,000km interval and hiflowing is

they fit bigger/better wheels and bore out the snout exhaust hole to get more flow out of it

ok That clears it all up... your a wealth of knowledge for someone in distress, thanks paul

no worries

the main issue with fitting another 2nd hand jobbie is - its age and likelyness to fail

its going to be a 10+ year old plus turbocharger with cermamic wheels etc

and theres a chance (minor) that when it fails , it takes the engine down with it, need a full rebuild

so sometimes its better to just bite the bullet and pay for a highflow

but on the other end of the scale i have my rb25t with 185,000 on it and std turbo

with std specs and no highflow / rebuild etc so its 85,000 overdue for a 'overhaul' - the turbo is

so i guess you could say its likely to fail - i run 12psi and trash it

but i dont "think" it will take down the engine too when it fails - so i dont justify the $ in rebuild the turbo

sounds much like myself, the only reason this tubo blew out was because the cheap SH!TE boost controller that came with it loosened and ran 20 psi before my eyes... (Imagine eyes 3 inches out of my head)

thanks i know of them they will be tuning my safc II when it arrives monday, don't know if i should get it tuned due to the turbo?? any ideas?

[jeffworld2]

they wont be able to tune it without a working turbo, and if it is still running, they will have to retune when you replace it

Thought so... Is It Possible To Just Fix The Oil Seal on My Turbo... NO Hiflow Or Comp Wheel Changes?

[Dragonforce]

Dude,

isnt it annoying pressing shift at the START OF EVERY WORD?
