I bought this brand new in feb 07 and used it in 2 targa tasmania's. During this years (08) the front oil seal/ring failed causing a lot of smoke off throttle.

I had the turbo disassembled locally and it was found to be in near perfect condition internally. I have just sent it to GCG for assembly and a new seal.......thinking about $500. There is where it gets interesting - GCG reckons it needs new bearings ($400+ being cautious or ?) and other work as well, totalling aprox $1,100.

The turbo is for sale because:

1. I think I am not getting good or right advice from GCG and I'm not in the position to do any thing about it.

2. The turbo is too big for a RB20 for TARMAC RALLIES. Great for street, drag or circuit use.

3. I'm going to run a smaller steel wheeled turbo ora standard R34 in future.

This a DIRECT BOLT ON and would suit someone who knowledge in tubo assembly. I can provide dyno sheets making 210 rwKW on standard RB20 with stock intercooler, injectors exhaust manifold. Mods are Haltec E11v2, GTR pump, adj reg, split dump and 3" exhaust run on 98 oct at 1.1 bar.

Don't bother with crazy offers pls......at this price I'll donate to local TAFE school.

I'll also gurantee/ money back the turbo after inspection on arrival that it is as per described above - less $50 for post and packaging post costs.

This is a PM I sent re turbo, it may help with others that are asking similar questions.

It is a turbo off a RB20 and as such is not a 1 or 2.

It has been hi-flowed, where the inside are machined out and made to flow much more air, also a bigger (steel not ceramic) turbine wheel than standard which can take much more boost than a ceramic wheeled turbo. The end result is a far bit bigger performance than either a 25 series 1 or 2. The other big advantage is that it is a bolt–on to existing R32 or R33. The cost of these turbos new are around $2000 exchange, or a Garrett equivalent with all the adaptors and lines and it will be $2600 or a HKS or Trust will set you back about $3500

If it was rebuilt it would be around $1400

It would be good on yours, heaps more power but more laggy.

Hope this helps

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
