Turbo Screwed

[fishola]

so it appears my turbo is stuffed and am now looking for a replacement,but i hear alot of people talking about hi flowing them instead of replacing

im not really up on the how to of this sort of thing, is it something your local mechanic can do or is it a specialist turbo shop job.

just wanting to know because where i am i dont know of too many places that are "specialist turbo" shops

my mech does deal with turbos but i have not thought about this option untill today. Also i need the car back on the road asap (cant have child seats in the mitsu express work van lol).

cheers fo any info and sorry about the long winded explanation.

[bigkevracer]

There is a lot of info on here about M35 turbos - which I'm guessing is what you have?

What state are you in?

[fishola]

yeah sorry m35 and in nsw port macquarie

The best and cheapest option is to do a rebuild.....depends what type of a rebuild but they range from $900 - $1,250 for a Sierra S1 or simular.

Your mechanic should not be charging anymore that $600-$900 for this job if he knows his stuff.

Hey Craig, what are the wheel specs for that Sierra S1 and who does it? I assume its a bush bearing core?

Cheers

You werent at port macquarie coles last friday lunch? Silver m35?

[Tangles]

Ask Sau-user Hypergear Turbochargers for a quote to hiflow your shagged turbo. Taking off turbo, postage, turbo rebuild, return & reinstall will take a few weeks.

I know it's OT, but you are the 2nd M35 owner in Port that I know of - you have enough for a Stagea cruise now....

^ Agree, but talk with him regarding what internals he'll be using for the rebuild.

I know that last time I organised one through him, he wanted to put a 3076 sized code in there. Would be lag city.

[hypergear]

That was for rb25, m35 turbo high flow profile is different, won't be laggy at all.

[scotty nm35]

Of course it will be laggy if you don't tune for it, even my stage 1 sierra was laggy until the emanage went in.

Stao, the oil line you supplied was way too long on the last highflow I fitted of yours, there is a better way to run it too using banjo's both ends. Pm me if you want.

Your turbo feels the same as a Sierra Stage 1 one setup!.....to say that it wont be laggy at all is wrong!....and yes I have driven yours and numerous other setups.

[ant0ny]

If you are in Port then you could try Bredan Julius in Kempsey who are tuners and know more than most about turbos and especially Nissans.

[scotty nm35]

Do they have experience with M35's though? I wouldn't recommend anyone that hasn't done one before, they can be very difficult the first time you work on them and the customer ends up paying for their learning curve. Even properly bleeding the cooling system leaves many mechanics scratching their heads.

[ant0ny]

These guys are way beyond general machanics they usually only do race cars or enthusiest cars... they dont do water pumps and tie rod ends they fit after market computers and tune high powered machines and generally fix the probelms other machanics scratch their head at. Father and son team with more knowlege than anyone you will ever meet.

I put the website there to give an idea, as understated as it is. If you where rocking up with a Falcon I would not suggest them but given it is a Stagea and a Nissan they may help you out... I bought my Stagea from them.

If you go... ask Brendon to take you for a run in the R33 with the Infinity V8... I havn't seen it since before he got it going but hear it's a weapon.

Cheers for the info the car isn't really driveable to get it there not far I know but it's not much good to be in at the moment if I my mech has any trouble I might give them a call and see what we can do but cheers for the info on them
