rb20_z Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hi guys, I went and looked like what I thought was an rb25 turbo...but it's not ceramic?? I haven't got a clue what this is, I wrote down what I could off the turbo, it had 45V4, 9238 and 2IU engraved on it. Also nissan, If someone could get to me on this soon that would be greatly appreciated. He has another buyer and wants an answer today.

browny Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 but it's not ceramic By this you mean the the exhaust wheel isn't ceramic, right? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70247-need-quick-answer/#findComment-1297660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Junky Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Why can't he identify his own turbo? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70247-need-quick-answer/#findComment-1297689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN00H Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 did you check that the EXHAUST wheel was steel? otherwise it may just be a stocker. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70247-need-quick-answer/#findComment-1297704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb20_z Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Why can't he identify his own turbo? He doesnt know what engine he has, he just knows its an rb25.. so its' kinda hard to find out what this is, Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70247-need-quick-answer/#findComment-1297722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb20_z Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 sounds like a stock unit then. did you use a magnet on the exhaust wheel? used it on the blades, it didnt attract it, it pushed it away...

DAN00H Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 if it was a decent magnet, then if would have been attracted to the blades and snapped onto them. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70247-need-quick-answer/#findComment-1297759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
browny Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I went and looked like what I thought was an rb25 turbo...but it's not ceramic?? Please note that it is only the exhaust wheel that is ceramic. The compressor wheel is either metal (unsure whether steel or Aluminium) or nylon depending on which series of RB25 it came from.

shif_tea Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 isn't 750 a bit rich for a stock 2nd hand rb25 turbo?? I've seen ones advertised on here for about 300??

wrxhoon Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Magnet will not stick to it even if its not ceramic . They are not steel they are some type of alloy so magnet will not attract it .
