Rb20det Turbo

[LO_R33]

Guys,

Suspected turbo seals have gone in my brothers rb20det turbo, Does anyone have a turbo in 'good condition' not blowing any smoke, with good seals here in Canberra? Prefferably to borrow for a few days to see wether its his current turbo seals, or something else along the line.

Probably a long shot i know, but i know a fair few of you have upgraded turbos, and 'might' have one laying around for various reasons. Please if anyone is able to lend one, or sell one would be much appreciated. Fairly urgent.

Thankyou very much B)

look in the forsale section there are always turbs in there for sale, about $200 or get an r33 one!!

Thanks mate, This turbo was second hand and was in 'excellent condition' bought off a guy here in canberra and didnt turn out the case. So i think best bet is for a new turbo now...

Go get an RB25 turbo and stick your RB20 actuator onto it

[LO_R33]

Yeah it is, specially when you spend thousands of dollars getting custom exhaust, dump pipe, oil lines, manifold, intercooler piping, and everything together... to find out that your turbo's seals are gone. Anyway, thanks for the advice guys - will pass it on.

Cheers

If you are interested, I've got a pair of RB20 turbos sitting here. One is in good condition, and to my knowledge has not been over boosted, and would be fine to use - the other is totally thrashed (like 12 psi thrashed)

$150 and the good one is yours

Yes, 16psi is silly, I blew my original (at the track mind you) at 13ish psi.

that said, I guess it depends on heaps of other factors.

I run 18ish now, but with a different turbo
