Price Check On Isle 3 Please....

[GTR_STEALTH]

Im gonna be freshening up my 32R motor, so whilst its out i was offered a set of 34R turbo's as a slightly better option than mine for $500. I checked the shaft play and it seems fine.

Is $500 worth it for a set of 34R turbo's....or would my $500 be better off spent on doing something else to my turbo's for an equivalent price?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

how much power do you want to make?

[R31Nismoid]

stock turbos are not worth a cent - being they can kill your motor in a blink of an eye - i wouldn't use them

[paulr33]

yeah exactly

are you sure you would want to spend sub $5k and then only to put stocker ceramic wheelie's on again?

if they fail it puts the motor at risk

[GTR_STEALTH]

mmmk that makes sense.

I guess how i looked at it was -well im only gonna be freshening up the motor and leaving the original turbo's i got on there anyways; so for 500 for a little bit better than what i got (they got better dump pipes i think yeh?) i might as well do it...

How much would i be looking at to hi-flo my turbo's? ....would it be worth it?

^^See if you can find R34 GTR N1 turbo's as they have steel internals, if not rebuild your stock ones with steel internals.

dude just spend the extra money and buy some garrett -5's or GTSS's and be happy with the result with room to play later on.. not worth the risk of shattering a wheel and doing the whole engine.

[paulr33]

if you want some more zing and dont want a big capital outlay

and you are prepared with the ceramic risk (the same risk you have now with standard BNR32 turbochargers)

then the BNR34 turbochargers would be a good stepping stone. the front compressor wheel and cover are larger

0.42 a/r vs 0.53 a/r so its likely to give some more power for puff and its likely the components would be better

given sub 1989/1990 vs 1999/2000 so for $500 its not bad on a stock motor, on a built motor, its the same risk/timebomb

check the hypergear thread in forced induction, high flow gtr turbo's have been mentioned, or msg him for a quote.

The reply I got on high-flowing GTR turbo's ended up within ~$100 of buying Garett 2860/2560 turbo's new (if you used the ball bearing version).

And other forum sponsors were selling the garett turbo's cheaper than Hypergear...

[hypergear]

I thought we had the lowest price on all Garrett turbos. How much did you endup getting them for? Also the one that I quote was for a GT28RS with the 9fin GTRS turbine. Not the GT28 with 10fin turbine.

I've seen vendors selling them for $2500 a pair but its not the one I want (it was a -5) and its +$200 or so to get the gaskets et cetera.

I'm not currently purchasing, I'm looking at buying a house first so that will be a slight delay

EDIT: I am interested in the difference in the turbines. Also I've seen an NZ seller selling HKS GTSS for $3100 as a kit plus $75 postage

[hypergear]

I quoted $1250 per turbo for the -5s. Which is $2500 pair. and $10/ Gasket. Sure its not my quote? any way Pm in when you are ready. I believe we currently have the lowest prices for Garrett Turbochargers.

[GTR_STEALTH]

Is there much difference between 33 and 34R turbo's ???

[R31Nismoid]

Factory ones - not really.

N1's, ye there is a noticeable enough difference.

As for the turbo price, $1250ea isn't bad, I've seen cheaper and can get cheaper

[GTR_STEALTH]

Cheers dude...

...u have a pm
