For larger turbos they make more difference than smaller IMO. I doubt you could even tell.

Just like anything, work out what you want from a particular setup, and then research.

And do it once, do it right. Much cheaper in the long run ;)

Well the highflow 34 turbo will do exactly what I want, the only difference is I have a place that will do it with ball bearings for $1350 or one from Hypergear with a thrust bearing for $860.

thrust bearing is poor in comparison to ball bearings you want to know why?????

not just because ball bearing actually spool faster than journal bearings................

but....................

because......................

it reduces the oil flow required for lubraction and it increases the longevity / durability of the turbo compared to journal bearings

Might as well have gone a gt2867 brand new if you pay that much + cost of 34 turbo

A good hi flow option from hypergear that will bolt to stock manifold and dump can make more power than a gt28

This is what I was thinking, I can get a 34 turbo and highflow it for about $1000.

+1 the small frame garrets are a pain in the ass to bolt up to an Rb and they probably have no more power potential. High flows are pretty under rated

Clint was running a ss1pu early model and made around 350hp from memory on pump98 fuel.. Hi flowed r34 turbo + e85 should see easy power with stock response. I'm my opinion it would make a perfect street daily.

remove and purchase -9 Pete or T51r or both lol

But effort.

Are they a direct fit to the stock manifold and dump Pete?

I thought so?

Again, i was comparing a hihg flowed ball baring turbo to it, not a hypergear journal bearing one.

More making a point at what you're paying for if you go for a brand new one.

Our "Journal bearing one", is more responsive then your ball bearing one, and last 10x longer.

Yeah I agree Pete, I'm very much leaving towards the hypergear. I want to get an ecu and injectors capable of running e85 but running and running in pump 98 until I either get a second car or have e85 scalable locally.

nah man. Clint was actually making 400hp at the treads

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
