hey how does everyone know that this turbo is ball bearing. Arn't all aussie spec rb20 turbos only ceramic

[salad]

1. there were no aus spec rb20s

2. ceramic and ball bearing have nothing to do with each other. ceramic means the rear wheel is ceramic, ball bearing means it uses a ball bearing on the shaft and not a bush bearing.

go ask any import place and they will tell you that most rb20, rb25, vg30 etc turbos are ball bearing, and they might show you the difference between the ball bearing and non ball bearing ones.

ok, just took the turbo out, its in PERFECT condition.

tiny bit of play in and out (normal) no play side to side.

1 bolt is snapped off in the exhaust flange though, but it would be easy to drill out anyway.

these are a roller bearing not ball bearing

[salad]

nah mate, theyre ball bearing, ask anyone that actually knows stuff about imports and they will tell you that most rb engines came with ball bearing turbos.

go down to your local import place and ask them if you dont believe me

and personally i dont think that someone that joined 4 days ago should be commenting on stuff like they know everything

look at my name... i work for a jap import wreckers 5 days a week... i know what parts are on what car!!!

[salad]

i dare you to go open up one of the r32 turbos that you have there (one without the cooling fins between the 2 housings) and i think youll find that they ARE ball bearing.

the bush bearing rb20 turbos have cooling fins between the housings and have a chunkier core.
