BUMP: T04E Questions
 

Ok, I have my first 'what turbo is this' thread. Turbomaster has failed me when it comes to this individual part number. Anyway, it is a Garrett with .70 a/r on the compressor housing. Thats about all the informaiton I can find. It also has 'M24' and "APM'' on the comp. housing. The closest thing I found when googling the info was a T04E. I recognize the split exhaust inlet, so I know I'm close. Anyone know the specific model, application, or happen to have a compressor map for this sucker? I'm thinking about using it on a vitara/i-beam/arp headstud z6.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

it's a to4e14 I am looking at on ebay right now but I can't seem to find any for sure info on it. I think its compariable to a 57trim to4e but don't quote me on that.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

Yes that's a 57 trim t04e.
as is, a prettymuch useless turbo. But this cold side, freshened to new and thrown on a faster spoolin hot side, makes a very nice 400+ HP turbo.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

Anyone else have any input on this turbo?

Blaast, the modifications you are suggesting, would I look at the 't04e-57' compressor map on your website to see how it would perform?

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

It's not a 57 trim. It's a 46 trim. I have the same turbo but with a t3 turbine housing instead.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

no it'S not a 46 trim, you would see a step in the wheel cavity. When it'S a cylindrical hole like in this picture, it's 57 or 60 trim.

Yes, the same flow chart applies to all T04e 57 trim regardless of the hot side used. you can have ) trim 1.32 a/R or t3 stage 1 .48 a/r but regradless, you have a 57 trim t04e wheel.
The flow charts DO NOT tell you the performances of a whole turbo. THey just tell how the compressor wheel can flow.

The proposed modifications are just to make it spool up faster as you're not using it on a cummins 5.9L diesel V8.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

Need to clarify a few things with that statement.

-First: Cummins 5.9L diesel is a I6 not a V8
-Second: Holset is a fully owned subsidiary of Cummins, therefore you will never see a Garrett turbo on a Cummins, unless it was put there by the end user.
-Third: If I were to venture a guess I would say it did come off a Diesel V8, but it would be a Ford IDI 7.3L (the one just before the powerstroke.)

That is all.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

regardless of the turbo brand and make of the truck, My actual point in the above statement was that diesel truck turbos in general have desirable compressors for most performance applications on 4 cyl engines but they all have a hot side that is too big for "most" setups. (although we all know they do work and make big numbers if you can live with lag)
If some smaller and compatible hot sides were readily available from holset and borgwarner, they would be just as nice hybrids as Garrett's t3/t4 turbos.

back from the DEAD!!


help me out on this one. I'm too damn poor to ------- get a new turbo for my built Z6, the money I have saved is going into a clutch and lsd. I know it has been done, but I can't really find anybody's impressions or results with blocking one of the scroll inlets off and just running this sucker that way. I'm really leaning toward doing this because 1) i already have the turbo and ---- to make the mani 2) turbo is in great shape and I think it is a feasible idea

post good info if you have it!

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

oh yeaaaaahn O0

You need one of these; http://www.spracingonline.com/store/...ool_Valve/3643

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

Very nice product, but HOLY ---- is that a lot of money for a flange.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

that contraption was pretty neat, until i looked at the price. also, i wonder what kind of clearances are around the saft, i could probably make one hmt style


wonder how my vitara d build would spool that big ass turbine housing on the t04e. i wonder how much just blocking off one scroll would restrict the nubers I have. lots of questions, people help out if you know what you are talking about

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

i would defiantly try making that flange or somthing similar.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

I have some reserve about this flange. How well this thin plate will seal after long period of time?

How well the shaft seal the hole? It can't be very tight if there is no lubrification...

I doubt it can be use for a long period of time...

I want to see the HMT style flange tho >:D

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

that thing is neat and a great idea, but on a D methinks you just want to block off one hole for good and call it a day...

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

kind of what I was thinking.

but then again, if the setup doesn't work well up top with the valve open, you can wire it shut

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

for your deal yeah it would probably easier to do and call it a day. from what i can see with this flange though is that is is very similar to an exhaust brake on a diesel . ill see if i can stark moking up some concepts of this.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

yes that is had one on my f22b1 single cam ang im glad to say its the ---- but dont over push it

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

Back from the dead again....

This fucker is going on my FJT I beam/Vitara/ARP Head Stud build with one scroll blocked off. I'm poor, end of story.

Next, it has a 4" v band outlet, I don't have ANY 4" sewer pipe to make an exhaust out of and bends are hella expensive. I have some 3" mandrel bends already and my question is:

What is everyone's thoughts on using a 4" to 3" reducer right off the turbo so I can make my exhaust with the 3" I have. I don't see where it would hurt flow THAT much. Not that much backpressure I would imagine. Discuss.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

The pictures are of a calcified fossil that you may or may not be able to rebuild it's so corroded.

Make a ------- offer on my HX35, quit wasting your own time.

Re: Is this a T04E?
 

the fossil is free, and it spins fine with hardly any shaft play


send me some pictures of you Hotsex
