^^^^^ what he said only time you replace a turbo is if it broken or you want more power if you want the cheapest way to make a little more power and want the stock look i would get it hiflowed if you want to do that option speak to stao at hypergear but keep in mind you do this you WILL need aftermarket ecu and possibly larger injectors for the ecu i recommend a nistune if your on a budget

if you dont want any more power just leave it as is and keep going

no need to replace what isnt dead

ive got the stock turbo on my gtst

i got it with 58,000 on the clock and its now got 236,000

its had 12psi since around 89,000 and still hooks up well

so they are reliable if treated well and serviced

Sorry viewing from an iPhone and just assumed Gtr

fair enough lol

There isnt really a point to rebuilding the stock turbo, there is no direct replacement Steel turbine wheel avaliable for them.

So in effect high flowing is all you can do...someone might be able to do it cheap, using a GT28 rear wheel and leaving your standard compressor wheel.

I doubt it will blow if you look after it. Keep boost under 10psi and keep up regular oil changes and all should be sweet.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it.

      Best bang for buck at the moment would be a 86/brz. Good chassis,  plenty of aftermarket support and parts everywhere.   I just picked one up with some quality gear and it drives better than my old 180sx.    Also depending on what your doing and budget.  An a90 supra is my pick if want to spend more. Great chassis, solid motor, gearbox is good. Development potential is crazy. They are doing well in prod sport and time attack. All the old jdm stuff needs alot of work as most of it all bent and over priced.

      It's basically the same platform, hence why everything bolts to everything else Kelford camshafts were recommended by Mania after they asked me what I want the car for, I said "I'll thrash it around daily and maybe take it to the track for fun" 🤣 Factory NC 2.0L cam specs: - Adv. Dur. 256 /256 - Dur @ .050 205 /190 - Lift 9.42mm/8.13mm So, as I know nothing about cam specs, all I can say is the numbers are different and it should get a little bit of lope....🤣

      Depends on how extreme, however if you look at SMSP, they're all dominated by Hondas and M cars on amateur/street car events.

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Without better pictures, it won't be possible for anyone to work it out further than we have.   Start measuring, EVERYTHING. Thickness of flywheel, and all around it. You want to know is if everything parallel. If from the face of the pressure plate (that bolts to the flywheel) if it is parallel to the pressure plate face, then something is NOT parallel or equal elsewhere. Or you've bent the shit out of the fingers in the pressure plate.
