Hey everyone,

My stock turbo is no longer with us and I am after a replacement, would my best option be finding a second hand one in decent condition or getting something brand new that is equivalent to the stock turbo? Any suggestions on what they might be?

Thanks

Do you still have the turbo? Just get it high flowed, much cheaper than a whole new turbo and it will be stronger and won't let go again. Oh and more power :)

Search for Hypergear on the forum and check out the high flows

2nd hand in usable condition will be about $150 - $250. If you won't be installing it yourself, labour is the only pricey bit here.

Highflowing your current one will machine your stuffed one (assuming no damage to the housing) and replace the center bits for about $800-1200, however for this to work in your car at full potential, it'll need another $2000-3000 worth of supporting mods (intercooler, exhaust, z32 air flow meter, aftermarket ECU, tune, maybe injectors).... and then you'll be a target for police, and/or realise you should have just spend $5000 for a nice garrett turbo like a 3071/3076 package instead of $4500 for a highflow package

Buying a new turbo from nissan, if even possible, will be stupid expensive... don't even consider this

Buying an equivilent size turbo to the new one, probably not worth the effort... you're throwing money at it for no gains.

Since you've got a R34 with a OP6 rear housing, It is a good turbo for high flowing.

High flowed turbocharger will bolton to factory setup with no modifications required. There is no need getting all supporting mods unless you are targeting the full potential of the turbocharger. Factory ECU usually works fine upto 10psi of boost.

High flowed turbocharger has factory appearance, that is unlikely to have you defected then another turbos.

Doing all of those modifications fit an internally gated GT3076 / 71, risking been defected, is not going to get you more then what you can get using one of our high flows.

Lastly we only charge $850 to carry it out with oil line supplied, not $2G.

    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay  
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
