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 :P

I am on the Sunshine Coast if you can pickup

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 :rofl: )

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 :rofl: )

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.

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!

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.

stop dribbling shit

i had a vg30et turbo

which had 45v4

seen ones with 45v2

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

but yeah

series 2 rb20 and onwards turbos were ballbearing i heard

some vg30et turbos were aswell

    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
    • Transplanting the vvt from a 25neo into an rb26?
    • Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
