Sorry admin i put this on the SA forums aswell please dont kill me i need some help

Hey all !!!!! im from SA (dont judge me)

I have had my stagea seres 2 RS4-S for just over a year now and i love it to bits, maybe more than the misses!!

After not having to spend a sent on this beast for over a year i just got my clutch replaced with a xtreme heavy duty organic, nothing to spectacular, but its my daily driver aswell as a fun car on weekends.

Since the new clutch i have been driving it a little harder and go figure the turbo has started making noises!

I have had it checked by 2 very knowledgeable people (as im very untrusting) and they have both said that the main bearing is about to go.

since the S2 turbos are all nylon or plastic internals I have been told that the internals are not repairable with a stock parts.

I have been given a couple options spend just over $2000 buks to get a garrett 30 shoved into the standard housing which would be awsome, or get a 2nd hand one thats in good nick!

I have no budget at all this is my daily driver!! im saving for my wedding and have nothing to sell to get some quick bucks.

What im after is a Standard Series 2 Turbo that has been pulled out of a stagea because of a new turbo going in. (ie not a screwed on)

If anyone can help me or just shout some telephone numbers at me to some places that might have Turbos laying around that have been pulled out!

im not prepared to spend that money on a new turbo yet!!!

but i just need to get out of trouble for the time being!

Please help im a loyal stagea man and i always give a wave to all you nutters who drive these baby's (even if i dont get wave back)

Is some of you could lend a needy guy a hand i would love it cheers!!!!

Hi Andrew, I have one in good condition. Removed it because I upgraded. But I'm in QLD, so I'd have to post/courier it. I'm sure some of the SA guys will chime in soon if anyone has one, or even if there are any good wreckers down there. Also don't refine your search to just S2 stagea's, R34 GTT turbos are the same.

the turbo has started making noises!

Are you sure it is not an exhaust manifold gasket leak?

Before you buy a new one I would make 100% sure that it is the turbo. My experience is that they go bang or they work with not much in between. If you are determined to buy a 2nd hand turbo any RB25DET turbo will do the job. The 34GT-t/S2 stagea version has a slightly larger turbine housing.

Yeh exhaust leak was my first thought, but its definitely the bearing. had 2 knowledgeable people look at it one works in a turbo shop(but they cant get any standard series 2 ones).

At the moment its not broken!! but i just dont want it to go pop

ta for the thought though!

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
