Hi guys, As above I have a turbocharger that is a little overkill for my new application and as such it is up for sale. Bit hesitant advertising it here but here goes... It is a brand new, genuine HKS T51R SPL turbo, ball bearing turbocharger with the 1.00 exhaust housing. Turbo has sat in display cabinet for a few years but is in as new condition. I have taken the turbo to Rotomaster distribution in Melbourne (http://www.rotomaster.com.au/) who went over the turbo for my peace of mind. They confirmed the above specs and it being in perfect, unused condition. You will notice it is visually slightly different to a typical T51R (smooth compressor cover, silver nut) and I am advised this is due to it being an earlier version of the T51R, with no detriment to its performance. I actually prefer the smoother look but each to their own. The compressor cover has recently been professionally mirror polished. I have added as much info here as possible, but if you have any additional queries or comments please PM me. HKS Japan sell these for 383,000Y, which at the current exchange rate is; 383,000.00 JPY = 4,877.50 AUD Japan Yen Australia Dollars 1 JPY = 0.0127350 AUD 1 AUD = 78.5238 JPY I am asking for $3650ono -> NOW $3450 I think I've said enough...oh, I am in Melbourne, as is the turbo. Happy to post at buyers expense to anywhere in the world. Cheers, Chris Here's a snap from the HKS site; Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

did the earlier models not come with the v band exhaust flange???

Here's a pic of another one identical to mine (aside from the smoothed off cover) http://www.raceinfo.no/temp/turbo2.jpg Bump! Sorry, may part trade for GT35R...must be new also

I forgot about this...anyway, here goes; Quote: Originally Posted by sohc2 $1500 No thanks Quote: Originally Posted by ANK dont mean to offend you but you can get the garret vertion for like 2000 yours doesnt have the fancy front housing or bullet nut why are people going to pay the extra money ??? The advantage of an HKS turbo is not the signage on the compressor cover or the bullet nut, it's in the design/technology of the housings themselves..that's why people pay the extra money for an HKS item. Also, this is closest to a GT45r, which is around $2.5k; http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_...ucts_id=10 36 (http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_info.php?cPath=57_36_53_896&products_id=1036) Quote: Originally Posted by darkstar Also the Garrett Version is Ball Bearing - this one looks like a plain bearing as the SPL that is BB has an "SPL BB" Tag on it. How does this one look like a plain bearing turbo? Please enlighten me? If you read the ad, I have stated it is ball bearing and has been confirmed by Rotomaster in Campbellfield...so unless you know something they do not I think you are mistaken. Also, the tags and comp cover markings differ quite a fair bit over the years this turbo was produced. Google image search 'HKS T51R' and see for yourself. Oddly enough, the low-ball offer of $1500 is the most credible post of the three...oh, and bump :)

From another forums comparing Garrett to HKS, Quote: has a motorsport designed exhaust housing (lighter and single entry of great a/r size) has inconnel exhaust wheel (much higher operating temp) has best designed compressor cover for high flow and compact design vband on inlet that mounts to turbine housing far superior to bolted falnges and gaskets proven to make the power and be fully reliable Best of luck with the sale, I must say I am very impressed by their new T62R!

You're a good man [200]...I was starting to think less of this site, but you single-handedly recovered it :) What he said

Now $2990 and comes with a genuine HKS GT-II 60mm gate Or ebay, but prefer thru here. PM me if interested. No E bay links sorry mate, also need contact details, e mail or phone number. 88 Chaser

Please dont post here unless your interested in buying this turbo.

Sorry 88chaser about the ebay link...my bad I am not sure about the noise, however I assume it *would* do it. Last bump
