Aftering a turbo charger for my R33

[howhow82]

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,
