up for sale 6 week old gt3076r turbo .82 4 bolt turbine housing.. upgraded to gt3582r .82

made 293kw at 18psi on my rb25det

Turbo was not removed because i knew exhaust wheel had a tiny bit of damamge, i wanted something that made more power, i only have noticed this recently when i removed the exhaust housing.

the turbo still made near 300kw and drives fine and barely affects performance in anyway. A mate had a t51r kai with half of fins missing on his exhaust wheel and it still made the power it should.

selling cheap $800 including post

Turbo was sold in perfect working order with 800k's.

Here is the link.

After talking with Hypergear where the turbo was purchaced, they have advised me that it was due to excess heat from a poor tune that the ends of the fins have been damaged.

Turbo has been sitting in the box since I bought it off Justin. I have not used it at all. I bought a different rear housing and was fitting it a few weeks ago (because my engine is finally ready to have it bolted on) and that's when we noticed the damage.

Pictures are all in the old thread but here is one of the wheel.

I paid good money for what I thought was a 800k old turbo. As you can see I am now in posession of a turbo that was damaged before it was sold to me. Not happy...

l0WRB - I've been watching this unfold as a I do with all complaints.

I've been instructing Russman on how to seek a resolution, which you seem unwilling to work towards.

You sold a turbo that you claimed was "pretty much" brand new. It wasn't, and was clearly damaged.

You have one chance to fix this issue.

$800 is too much for a damaged 3076. Id be looking more in the $400 region. You can't say it wont affect performance. Under boost, heat, and stress the structure of all the fins has been damaged and its inevitable that it is going to, and will fail.

I bought a turbo which had very similar damage and after inspection by precision turbo the guy would never suggest running a turbo with damaged fins. Repairs will be in the excess of $600 for wheel, fitment and balance. I don't mean to bring down your sale but you are treading a fine line when you say its still near new.

None the less, if its still up for sale, Ill offer $400.

I've had a quote for 600 for new exhaust wheel fitted and balanced.

I assumed it would cost about 600. It cost 690 to do a 3082. None the less thats 800 + 600 = 1400 for a GT3076R which has to be repaired... A second hand, non screwed up 3076 could be had for about 1000 - 1200... A reasonable offer would be 400 - 500 as its going to be 1k spent on the turbo. Any more than that and honestly should consider brand new(about 1400 to your door from the US).

I'm not trying to shut you down, I'm actually interested in the turbo and will pay about $400 - 500 for the turbo if you let it go.

I never suggested it was near new in this post. I'm not a dodgy trader look at my feedback along many websites. Maybe the turbo came f**ked from day 1 out of hypergears business. My tuner mechanic never removed the housing when fitting turbo. He also goin to have a word with Tao today.

So what happened to the PM function here?

Wouldn't that be better than just threadshi**ing this poor guy's thread?

It's been going on for the last month or so.

I'm just responding to other peoples posts suggesting I'm the bad guy here. I'm the one out of pocket.

This Garrett turbo was brand new when supplied, and this is not the first time I've seen this happening, I had few GT30 and GT28 high flowed turbos sent in for larger turbine housing which found to have burnt turbine wheels.

I have made an warranty inquiry for this guy which has been refused. Garrett blamed bad tune, I think its the materials used is either not heat resistant enough or just too thin.

I have no involvement in building this turbo and not the right person in sorting other people's product / service issues.

Thanks Tao for looking into warranty for me. This issue is not a problem for you to sort out though.

It came as a brand new turbo from you and arrived in my hands used but damaged.

Justin

How the f%$@ could it have come to you damaged when you have pictures of it BRAND NEW!!!!!

It seems like Justin should refund the money and russ should send the turbo back to him. Only fair thing to do an as it being a brand new turbo Justin should have a receipt for it and be able to get a new one through warrenty

that's if it is new that is

It's not covered under warranty. Tao from Hypergear already tried to help us with that.

Warranty will almost never work in your favour on a fitted turbo.

I bought a GT3082R from a guy for $800 which had only had 200kms on it. I had to adjust the rear housing so instead I took it off and discovered the wheel was damaged. I told him and he said he had no idea it was damaged and that it only had minimal use. I gave him the turbo back and he gave me a brand new one.

I know I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping at night knowing I took someones hard earned thousands. I know, either way someone is going to be out of pocket but if you're honest enough you would at least give SOME credit. I made an offer to Russman and he said if you give him a partial refund he will be happy to settle the case.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.

      Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By 25debt · Posted

      Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
