Question Are there any scale TURBOS???

Hello @ all from Newbie-Me...
Couldn´t find anything about the following in the search option:

Are there any aftermarket parts existing for turbos?
Especially I´m interested in big turbos like T51-R or T88 or maybe twins 3540´s or something.
I need them for my RB26DETT-engines, until now i´ve used my old turbos out of the Toyota GTone and Nissan R390.
But if there was an aftermarket producer of these things i´d really like to order them.

Thanks in advance for any help/ tips
Andreas

You can just make them out of scrap plastic parts.

Either of the suggestions should be good.. although I haven't poured resin before.

Well, WELCOME to AF! Stick around, and display some of your models in our Complete/Progress thread.

Small parts are no sweat , easy 2 part mold , you could pop out a years supply in a day or two. I do a bit of my own, vintage wheels and engine accessories, a few surf boards for dioramas..........
I have some links to a few tutorials at home if you want them I can post em upfor you

That would be great. I'm still trying to look for a resin starter kit locally, if not, I'll get it off the internet.

No, not for my R34, the Tamiya kit is a curbside, so there´s no engine.
Its for my VeilSide R32.
the engine is completed now but lets see, maybe these big guys will fit better (although i can hardly close the bonnet right now )
But I´ve ordered 3 more GTR´s from HLJ and will defo need some more detail parts
