jc052685 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well do you have a core or are you looking to buy a turbo straight up? If you have a core send it to http://www.turbochargers.com If you dont have a core, well buy a better turbo than one that was developed over 25yrs ago!!

madkaw Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Well MJM recieved my business today. I really don't know much about them except for talking to them . Their price(495$) was better then anyones and they actually had one on the shelf and shipped the same day.( core charger is high 300$, but they hold for 30 days for you to ship your to them) Most places I was looking weeks to get my turbo rebuilt. The shops that quoted me 2 day rebuilds were 200$ buck more. The warranties seem to be about the same -90 days. Msa had a very good price but they had nothing on hand, so I would have to send it to CA(3 days) , then they would send it out for overhaul (3 days) and ship it back(3 days). None of this is a good situation for a daily driver. Several places I sent e-mails for price quotes-no response, I guess business is so good they don't need anymore. Now to try and fix my down pipe. By the way, Courtesy Nissan said I got the last oil supply line in the country:shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc052685 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 turbochargers did my buddies z32tt turbos with less than a week turn around for under $275 each! I would have just waited the week to save the extra cash..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Blaylock did offer an e-mail quoye of 425$ to rebuild my turbo. They didn't give me a time estimate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZUL8TR Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Now to try and fix my down pipe. Madkaw...I might have an extra downpipe. EGR hardline is still attached. O2 has been removed. I'm in Fishers. Holler if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Zul8tr, thanks for the offer. The down pipe studs all broke off when trying to disconnect the collector. I plan on replacing the the exhaust soon enough and doing away with that downpipe all together. For now, I just welded the collector flange to the ends of the broken bolts to hold it together. Actually I couldn't even separate the Jpipe from the rest of the pipe since they were rusted together and welded from the heat. The turbo came today and I already have it installed as well as that crappy exhaust. Now I am just waiting for the new oil line to arrive. I was disappointed with the turbo since I had to chase 2 of the threads on the exhaust side before installing the downpipe. I hope this is not an indicator of the workmanship. I did call them and told them to ding QC in the head for not doing their job. Hey, are you going to Nashville on the 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZUL8TR Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Madkaw...I needed an oxy torch to seperate my downpipe from the exhaust at the flange. My 26 yo original turbo finally died. I pulled the one from my extra L28ET and it needs rebuilding too. Local Indy shop quoted me $750-900!!!! I call BS on that. I can get a new GT3076R for not much more. Trying to decide what to do right now. Rebuild or replace. Ultimate goal is 350-400RWHP, so rebuild would be a waste of funds, but replace is $$$. Trying to be thrifty right now. I do not plan on being at the MW Z Heritage Show in Nashville. Long story that would involve many beers. If you go on the IndyZ site, check out the 280ZX tech section, you can easily find my (ZUL8TR) rebuild thread. Sorry I never finished updating. Again, part of that long, stupid story.
