I have just got my car back from the mechanic.

He was quite pissed when i told him that i gonna get the turbo charger from someone else for $500. He said it's impossible unless it's a second hand one.

So, probably my car going to lie in the garage for quite sometime before i can get a new turbo. Anyone in this forum mind to tell me where can i get one? and how much is it?

"$2500 for a new turbo would get you a nice Ball bearing Garrett turbo. "

At the same time, i think if i spend $2500 to get a aftermarket turbo charger like wat "GTST" said, isn't i need to change all other stuff like fuel injection and other stuff. So gonna cost more right?

Anyway, i really looking forward for a turbo charger. Please tell me where to get one or PM me if u got one.

Thanks

An option that ppl seem to like is a rebuild and hi-flow the original turbo.

A place in sydney called GCG do this, they use new steel turbine wheel, larger compressor, and new ball bearing centre. Effectively a new turbo.( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=25585 )

And bolts back on bigger and stronger then the original, but still looks original so no-one ever need know. Only prob is this opens the door to spending even more money on management/ exhaust/ intercooler etc.

That said the best get out of jail (or is that gaol) card is a 2nd turbo off another forum member for between $300-500

i took my turbo off and took it to garret, around $950 that got my ihi turbo converted to a garret and turned into a t3/t4 hiflow, theres a bit off work to get the turbo off and back on, it made such a difference, when i first put it on i could only run a maximum of 11psi, but it went very hard, much more responsive, made the car feel like it wasnt straining anymore, now ive also added a front mount, exhuast, airfilter, and the car churps in third gear, next is computer and that will do me for a while, and i havent changed injectors and other things like that, that will come later, anyway, when u do up ur car, there are stages u do it in,

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
