hmm guys i got my turbz right, now what i can see is that the big oil return is at the bottom and the oil feed is at the top, does it matter when you top mount it that the oil feed as at the bottom and oil return is at the top, will this cause me problems??? also, how hard should it be to move the wastegate? pretty hard? and also, is there any way to know if the turbz is ****ed? as in blown seals? theres no shaft play and can you rotate the front section from the back? and why does the bit that feed the air to the TB have a 3 bolt design? i havnt seen this before???

its a T3 nissan unit how much would i be looking at if the seals are stuffed, just incase...... *** it, turbo is ****ed, close thread :cry:

3 bolt? arent they RB20 turbo's ?

ftw, its a RB25 turbo, worth putting on my vl or what? guy said itll just spool up quicker, which dosnt worry me, wheelspin quicker ahhahaahha

I'm pretty sure only the RB20 turbos had the 3 bolt flanged intake. And the oil return should be centered and at the bottom, the oil feed should be centered and on the top otherwise the oil will not fully coat the bearings inside. Seriously man don't high mount it, it makes absolutely no sense you will make no extra power, be 30 times more likely to get ****ed by cops, have a less reliable car and it will cost a heap more to get up and running and look stupid.

pics of turbo please. Im pretty sure its an RB20 turbo

high mount rb20 t3 turbo, wicked

r33s are 3 bolt same as 34s. just bolt pattern is slightly closer on the rb20 you wouldnt tell by the eye but the flange wont bolt on

This is a standard RB25 turbo RB20 turbo: Note one of the right is the RB20 with the 3 bolt flange Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey it wheelspins as it is lol

if you already have wheelspin why bother with the turbo?

lol is this the one that you ****ed by "testing" it with a hairdryer ??? lol

that top pic is definalty not a 25 turbo, it looks to be a VL or FJ20 t3, the 2nd pic is definately a 20/25 type turbo Quote: Originally Posted by Munro- This is a standard RB25 turbo RB20 turbo: Note one of the right is the RB20 with the 3 bolt flange Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol dixie, yes i did lmfao i put it in the exhaust inlet to see if the wheel spins, it spun, dint check if the other side spun tho, could it be that when the guy posted it he didnt put ***n no bubble wrap or nuffin? the box had to be repaired by aussie post aswell maybe it ****ed up through transit because of lack of packaging?

RB20 turbos are fully sick, a mate had one on his high comp, did the best skids ever, for about an hour lol. He got sick of 7 psi so the wastegate was held shut, hence the reason the car lasted an hour. Loud as **** dose too lol
