[hellothere240sx]

just got an rb25 turbo from a guy and opened the box i was happy with what i saw. well i looked closer and i saw something else. on the turbo it said 16 v 9. im not sure what that means but im pretty sure it's an rb20 turbo right? im pretty sure rb25 turbo say 45v3 or 45v4. can somebody tell me what these numbers means?

Hope you didn't pay too much for that, and can get your money back!

fuck dude i tried calling him up and he said that o no trust me it's rb25 turbo it came straight off an r33. i told him the numbers on the turbo tell it all an he was like no trust me blah blah blah. so for sure this an rb20 right?!?!?!!?

[240sxwanted]

yes its an RB20 TURBO BRO.


all rb25 turbos has 45v and a number, stick to your guns and call him out. If he doesn't cooperate go to paypal and say its an unauthorized purchase.

the guy is full of BULLSHIT

[hellothere240sx]

somebody else told me it's like that because it's from an r33 automatic s1. is this true? no way right the housing tells it all am i right? 16v9

sucks...I might be in the same boat as you...bought was said to be a RB26 turbo and ends up being some other Rb turbo....

nvm

ok if you bought an RB that wasn't an RB26 after seeing a picture than you're an idiot. The RB26 looks completely different.

If you bought it without seeing a picture than thats still kinda dumb. You should see a picture to at least have SOME idea of the condition.

to the OP, an RB20 can still be a powerful motor, but i would definitely call that dude out. Its really not worth it to run a 6yl unless you get the added displacement of the RB25.

They're taking about the turbos. Not the motor itself. Re read before insulting

oh shit, i retract my statement. my bad fellas.

Man. It's an RB20 turbo, just go to paypal and file a dispute. You WILL get your money back. Paypal is ALL ABOUT THE BUYER. Unless you sent the money as a gift......then you're fucked.

As 9KRacing stated, the RB25 turbo should have 45V somewhere on it. Also the RB25 turbo is noticeably larger.

For some added assurance, here's an RB20 turbo I was going to buy a few weeks ago.

Notice the 16V, and how it looks identical to yours.

File a dispute with paypal. And wherever you bought the part from the guy make sure to -neg his trading score so hopefully he won't scam other people too.
