hey,

im wanting to sell or possibly swap my Garrett 3040 with the smaller .63 rear housing, it will not come with any oil or water lines or any exhaust flanges.

it has the 4 bolt exhaust flange.

its in great condition done a maximum of 5000kms, about 300 on my car and between myself and the previous owner hasnt been boosted over 14psi.

has the usual ballbearing shaft play but absolutly so smoke no funny noises etc.

only reason im wanting to sell is because its on an RB20 and this turbo is not suitable for what i want to use the car for.

want to swap for maybe a 2876, 3076 etc which might still seem big for a 20 but im looking at doing a RB25 conversion further down the track

Price $ 1300 ono

located in western sydney.

my camera is stuffed and wont focus so ill try and get some older pics up (last year)

i hardly driven the car, but boost isnt until well into high 4000rpm and pulls right upto 7000 (rev limit) i have no figures as the car was only ever road tuned.

bare in mind im using stock injectors, AFM all stock internals stock cams etc

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
