Have a chipped exhaust turbine with scoring to housing. Found when pulled off the dump.

Anyone got a second hand OEM turbo for sale? Price?

Car is in Sydney at the moment so other option is hiflow / kit out? Can anyone let me know where in Sydney I could get this done and what they paid please?

No spare turbo but.. I went with Precision Turbo (John 9756 5757) to rebuild my turbo.

I had it rebuilt as what is called a Sierra Stage 1.

this basically means Journal bearing, metal impella and slightly bigger inlet and exhaust.

Net result, a little more lag (boost is starting around 2700 and on full boost are 3000), but comes on strong above 3000rpm. Makes the car a little more comfortable to drive in traffic and when you want the power it is there above 3000rpm.

I gained around 15% more power just from the turbo change (comparative Power Score from my Informeter). :banana:

The other important thing to note is that with this turbo at redline I am at 98% duty cycle on the injectors.

So if you go for a bigger turbo bare in mind you will need to look at bigger injectors or risk running the car too lean.

98% duty cycle with no mods other than high flow turbo still running factory boost?? that doesnt sound right!

How many CCs are the factory units?

I never said no other mods.... :whistling:

Mods are:

HDI FMIC

3 inch dump pipe

3 inch exhaust

Runner spacer

3 inch inlet pipe

Impul ECU

+ turbo

There are endless wheel options, it would depend on your power goals, and how happy you will be with the lag. The stock turbo is good for around 200awkw with steel wheels, highflow can make over 250awkw, (300 on ethanol) anything above that you should be looking at one of the new garrett GTX turbos and building a custom manifold. Big bux.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
