Can anyone help me out, im now trying to sell my turbo and im not sure what it came off, the person that sold it to me said they think it was off a skyline, but they werent too sure, they had a few turbos around.

Its a nissan motor BB turbo, oil & water cooled, with a 0.63AR rear housing, only thing printed on the front is Nissan motor & 13

looks like a a baby turbo T20 or T18

Maybe its of a 300zx, My mate recently rebuild his motor in his one and i remember the old turbos looked very similar to this with the number 13, but then again they all look the same unless their HUGE MOTHER F****RS!

there should be a number/code inprinted onto the turbo
supplying that would be helpful as to figuring what turbo it is.

Altho the Z32 didnt have BB turbos.
Where should this number/code be, because this turbo doesnt have one..

Nissian use garret turbos, goto the garrett and try matching it, but judging from the small front & the small rear housing, with a different rear exhaust outlet, i can tell you it is not a T25. It is for sure smaller than the T25. Pretty sure i saw one of these before and they were a T20/T18.
Most likely this came out of a Nissian EXA

Ill give that a go, also forgot to mention has a t3 exhaust flange

Are you sure its a BB turbo? i have a spare t25 sitting at home and it looks much like that sept this turbo doesnt have an actuator which the t25 does But i think this turbo did originally come with a actuator cos you can see the connector arm hanging out at the bottom of flange on the exhaust side to the internal waste gate in the last picture.

There wasnt many stock garret BB turbo's that nissan used. s15 is the t28bb which this deff isnt.

Yea VERY sure its bb, i didnt realise at first and i was told the BB hav dual intake fins, 6 bolts on the exhaust side, and oil & water cooled, all which this turbo has.

It also doesnt have a hole in the exhaust housing from where the actuator arm goes thro, its the kind where the actuator arm goes thro the dump pipe if you know what i mean. i cant find a pic...

could be a gt25bb.

[1996ek1]

Do you have any clue what car a gt25bb comes off?

[FastFwd]

Nahh not to sure....Maybe the X series 180sx possibly

i think they at t28bb tho dunno

Hey its a T3 flanged standard turbo off a R33 or 34 skyline, i dont think that it would be BB just a fresh brush bearing i would say.

they are a good turbo and with good supporting mods can see up to 200RWKW on a skyline but run out of puff after that they are basically the equivilent to the T28 of the T2 flanged turbos, hard to tell if its steel or ceramic wheel from the picture but looks like a ceramic. The ceramic wheels dont like to be pushed past 12psi or you risk turbine failure, and basically the rear wheel drops off and smashs to peices and you end up with it all through your exhaust.

for a clean example you should get anywhere from $150-300 for one.

Cheers hope that helps
