as the topic says

its a sleeve bearing type (cheap for rebuilds)

its basically a R33 turbo with a bigger exhaust scroll and is rotated already for a direct bolt on

the turbo is in perfect condition with minor play

got it checked by a turbo technician and he said its perfect

its a perfect replacement for a R33 or a good upgrade for a R32

its got the T3 flange and has a ceramic wheel but is good for 1 to 1.2 bar on a rb20 because its a smaller engine (16psi)

i have NOT used this turbo yet as i was acumulating parts for a big upgrade but the manual conversion is costing me 1.5k so im going to do that first and the money from this gets me a better clutch

wanting $300 for it which i think is fair and the going price

some info here about it http://www.meggala.com/mods3.htm

that page has everything u need to know about the VG30 turbo and rb20 engines and was the main reason i got this turbo but

hope ya dont mind me plugging ya site meggala

a lot of people on this forum run these turbos so if ya got any question post some threads up about it

bid away pplz!

dude im not explaining about the sleeve to ballbearing

read up

theres pros and cons to both

and i dont know

im guessing its a later model because it has the same markings as a 33 turbo

45V4 on the comp housing

and 45V on the turbine housing

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
