Man pedro i could have needed that turbo! if only mine shit itself a few weeks earlier.

Pedro when you pulled yours off how much end to end movement was there in the shaft? noticable, or minimal.

havnt checked them. easiest thing to check first was the compressor wheel. wasnt easy, but im not having to pull off oil and water lines!

turbo just seems to have abit too much front to back movement

PROBLEM SOLVED...

not actually the gasket, but all related in the end. The nuts on the flange holding my turbo to the manifold were basically falling off. One out of 4 i needed a spanner for, the rest were an easy finger twist off. All tightened up, of course im now spooling up quicker, noise gone, easy fix. Turbo is boosting fine.

Suprisingly the gasket held up fine and wasnt damaged.

I thought you'd already checked that? Yeah it gives a banshi scream when they come loose....happened on my last R34

Nah. i was sort of checking all things over the one pull apart of my engine bay. i got to that next lol. i always suspected gasket problems, but never expected my turbo to be detaching itself from the mani!

good ending for me anyway :)

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      So i brought a boat...

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
