Turbo install

[Josh. H]

Hi guys i just bought a r33 series 2 turbo for my r32, just wondering how much it should cost to get it put on,i have rang a few places most are charging around $450 which i reckon is way to much? what does everyone think. Option 1 quoted me $350 but i have found them to be a little interesting when it comes to doing a good job!.Any help on where to go for a reasonable price would be great. Thanks Josh.

Does anyone know what needs to be changed as i am in the same boat buying an R34 Turbo

As everyone knows i used to own a fully sick HR31 (thorpy said so)

I changed from a standard unit to a r33 s2 turbo. The whole process is remove old turbo and put new one in. The only thing is you need to use the R31/32 top oil feed line as the R33 one will not bolt onto your block. So use the R33 water lines as their bigger (4mm internal) and use your r31/32 oil feed line. The exhaust dump pipe will bolt straight on and the air intake pipe is the same size.

It took me about 3 hours actually to be honest as i had rusted bolts on the exhaust dump pipe so i needed to pay more attention to that.

Do it the easy way, remove the 6 bolts from the back of the turbo and remove the whole dump by unbolting at the cat. One big piece. Remove all the heat sheilding crap and leave it off as it sucks ass.

Hey if you want ill do it one sunday for $350.... LOL

..or what about the 4 manifold bolts for the turbo and then just removing the whole turbo, dump and all

Thats another way... Just depends on spanner swinging room....

Do it want ever way you want... but dont pay over 150 bucks for someone to do it....

Yeah pretty much hey, because it would seem most workshops charge $66per hour... So that would work out about right, as they should be better at it as they do it more often.

[The Dan]

yeah but 66 times 3 hours is still $198.

I told you I will do it for $100. Offer is still valid.

[Col-GTSX]

Take the offer...

If you dont wanta do it.... $100 buck is a good deal.... Plus a six pack cause you need to drink while doing it... LOL
