Rebuilt/Hiflowed R33 rb25 Turbo

[nct13]

Hey guys,

I recently purchased this turbo and was planning to use it on my ca18 silvia. I now have to sell my car so this turbo is up for sale. Its a rb25 turbo from a R33 which has been hiflowed and rebuilt by Precision Turbochargers in Port Macquarie. Its also been machined and now uses a larger sierra wheel. This turbo has been barely used and is like new. Would be a great upgrade for rb20 or even rb25

I can do $850 posted for quick sale, as funds are low atm

I am on the Sunshine Coast if you can pickup

Do you have any more info or a number for this place that did the high flowing?

Ball bearing?

Steel wheels?

What kind of power would you expect on an RB25?

[nct13]

Im at work atm I can grab the number of Precision when I get some time. Yeah its ballbearing the r33 turbos are BB. Also has steel wheels

I belive only the series 2 R33 turbo's are BB.......Going by the information i was able to obtain in regards to markings on the housings.......yours appears to be series 1.

I could be wrong of course (been known to happen )

sorry to possibly hinder your sale......just feel it is better to be sure before sale rather than have the buyer come back after purchase upset. Good luck.......hope it is BB (that means mine is too then )

[Abo Bob]

Maybe when they rebuild them they use ball bearings???

[GroundRun]

So is this a BB turbo?

[fane]

all r33 turbos are BB

and this is a series 2 turbo as you can tell by the 45 V 2 on it....

Thanks RiverSide I was under the impression r33 turbos were BB. With the number on the cover can any one clear this up for me? if its either BB or not the rebuild/hiflow cost $1300 so this is a still a good price. Priced for a quick sale.

Thanks fane, I was under the same impression with the numbers...

RiverSide, no worries mate. I too dont want the buyer to be upset.

[GroundRun]

you have Pm.

Fane : thnaks for clearing up the confusion.

[nct13]

pms sent I will get more pics tonight

actually fane, I know for a fact that my R33 Series II turbo has 45v3 on it, not 45v2. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it would be a rebuilt s1 turbo, which is still ball bearing anyway.

Good luck with sale!

[fane]

ooo could be a series 1.5 then because i have a series 1 with 45v1 on it.... well i think so i might check hehehe wait a sec....

[fane]

yer mine says 45V1 and i know its S1, hmmm anyone got a s1.5 that can check their turbo?

[RiverSide]

Just throw a spanner in the works again.........what series would it be if it has V4 written on it?

Would that be off a very late model R33?

ps. I am being serious, I am looking at one for the wifes car it is stamped V4. With all those numbers flying around in this thread i thought you guys might have thought i was taking the piss.

[Coupe-This]

I've got a series 1.5 cant exactly check right now (looks outside) its a bit dark. ill try and check it out tomorrow and report it to ya'll

[ix9]

I got a series 1.5 and mine says 45 V2

...interesting......

[ScarifieR]

i dunno whats up with it but there all the same in some way
