Cyifly Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ebay ones are all I can afford. I have heard some of them last fine if not thrashed, I am not planning on being too harsh on the replacement turbo. Ill be happy if it can handle 10psi. But since you mention all those upgrades. Yup I realise there are MANY things to upgrade before you upgrade the turbo normally. But since I'm in need of a a new turbo it changed my priority. And isn't worst case scenario if you fit a better turbo without all those upgrades slightly less power down low and more lag? I'm ok with that in the meantime. Only Current mods are 2 stage electronic boost controller. 255lph fuel pump Nismo FUel pressure regulator Yellow jacket coils with Bcpr6es. I haven't really experienced knocking or fuel cut. I don't think I am running rich or lean. So if I haven't hit a limit on these I dont see the point of upgrading them for low boost applications especially since I need a new turbo first. Ill have a look around. I had a look at some high flow prices they seem to be about 1.5k. Wouldn't mind a second hand turbo off somoene who is upgrading but id prefer to hear it running in a car first otherwise what guarantee do you have it wont be blown? At least with an ebay turbo you have a 1 year warranty, or so it says. Anyway, I know many sau members hate ebay turbos but humor me and tell me how much modification do you need to fit a non standard turbo such as a kkr480 into a r33 gts For example this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/KKR480-T480-Nissan-Silvia-RB25DET-RB30ET-2-5-4-0L-T3-A-R-50-A-R/617283830.html Bro honestly look on trademe.co.nz see what you can find we are import crazy back in nz and a lot of cheap parts on their. Dont forget bouts asking for shopping cost but everything in there is in nz dollars Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/413498-is-it-possible-to-do-a-turbo-upgrade-for-a-gts-t-over-the-stock-on-the-cheap/page/5/#findComment-6643863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadr33 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Just an update. I came about 1 second away from ordering the ebay turbo (so i have some money left for a niztune to go along) After a few weeks of stalling the purchase I noticed the noise gradually decreased. It was almost down to 30% of what it originally reached. Gtscot heard it at this point. We unplugged the speakers with no change etc. I unplugged some more fuses at home with no change. A few days after that it just died away. Id be happy to record another video with the noise gone if wanted. At this point I figure just leave it alone and focus on other things.

GTScotT Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It didn't sound like the turbo mate. Definitely sounded more like alternator feedback than anything else. Did you do anything about your leaking intake gasket?

copycutter Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Maybe it was a small animal that was slowly starving and screaming in your engine bay?

AngryRB Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 had that noise before, sounded like a big fat cat letting out a meow noise. lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/413498-is-it-possible-to-do-a-turbo-upgrade-for-a-gts-t-over-the-stock-on-the-cheap/page/5/#findComment-6646733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do anything about your leaking intake gasket? I just said you heard the noise not thought it was the turbo. Yea i tightned the manifold bolts. seems ok so far. Still reluctant to degreaese and wash engine bay though. Been trying to get a feel for spark plugs on the car. bcpr6es-11 best so far. Platinums are ok and iridiums suck.
