Oil leak through turbo

[Aza]

my question now is what turbo is it... its not the rb20 turbo but its defantly a nissan turbo. sure its not an rb25 or sr20det turbo? haha the intercooler flange on ur turbo is different to mine. still cheap nissan turbos ftw

the previous owner said it came from a RB20, the RB's came red and black top but its definately a nissan turbo. im not very sure but i remember SR motors running T2 flanges, and the RB running T3 flange turbos . all in all its quite good. full boost is at 4k, kinda of a lag but its worth waiting

back on topic for this forum, my leak is fixed. decreased the size of the hole to jus under 1mm and its great. now i jus gotta learn how to drive light footed, or else i'll be visiting the petrol stations more then once a week lol

Its a VG20 turbo by the look of it, better than the rb20 turbo's too.

looks like a gt28 or t28 s14/s15 stock and japspec turbo.

i got a gt28rs and a gt28 at home and they look very similar to that picture

RB20 turbo is stamped 16V on the compressor housing, and you need an oil restrictor for it or the standard s14/15 units. Not two days ago a mate of mine blew the seals on his t28 on a 4AGZE due to no restrictor. Not pretty - especially on the track.

Edit: 1mm is quite small. Most people run (or rather, most commonly available restrictors are) around 0.06" inches which is a bit more than 1.5mm, but your milage may vary.
