RB20 turbo, what is it?
Mate,
I can tell you these things are a real pain in the arse. I am dealing with re-building one at the moment and I am not going to get away with it for under $1200.
Go get yourself a T28 or something with the same flange. Or even one of those disco potatoes things, if you want to go huge.
They are ceramic exhaust wheels and when they die, they have to replace the core, and they can only use your exhaust housing, compressor housing and compressor wheel. Thus the cost.
On the upside there are shitloads around because all of the skyline boys pull them off for upgrades.
Your choice. But I am suffering atm.
Darren.

Darren, Nope they are not worth rebuilding as a disopotato or similar are not a lot dearer and an infinitely better turbo to begin with.
As my stock T3 is very tired and oily, I just bought one offen Ebay for my FJ20et. Its in absolutely pristine condition for 140 bucks!
Thing is i dont have any idea of exactly what spec it is tho as it has been rebuilt and all the identification marks has been ground off and what loooks like a signature written on in a vibropencil which I cannot decipher.
All I know is the dude took it off his R33 as he was upgrading to a big mutha of a snail so he could boost his brains out.
