new to the turbo game
 

i was just wondering about brands...my buddy says stick with only garrett but people have told me AirResearch is the same thing??

bullseye, garret, or any turbo in good condition this is homemade turbo u know :p

what are your goals? what car? ect

haha ya i know..i was just wondering bout the brand Airesearch or whatever it is?? but ya i got a 95 intgra...b20,b16 head, fully built...i want atleast 350ish?? and everytime i ask people new ---- i get new answers..so now im on HMT!!

threads like this come up everyday...rape the search button

type garrett turbos in wikipedia and your answer is there

ya i did like a 100 times..and people put so much useless info onto the internet its hard to decifer, and half the ---- goes back to ebay haha

i have CDM T3/T04E turbos for $210 shipped. it will more than meet your goals and come with a 1 year warranty.

i have one on my own car with 1k miles so far. it made 310whp @15psi on a z6 with stock cam.

Depends on your setup but my buddies and I slapped a Holset diesel turbo on our Ford 2.3 Turbo motor in our XR4Ti, 30psi no sweat and even thought it's not 'rated' for gasoline EGTs, it's fine after quite a bit of abuse. 1 down side is that it's designed to never run vacuum so some oil pushes through the seal no matter what you do leading to some oil blowby in the turbo, but since it's not ball bearing no worries about it wearing out, and its much more forgiving in terms of tolerances, and they're cheap as dirt, specially now that the bottom has fallen back out of the diesel turbos, most of the HY35/HX35 series go barely-medium used for around $200.

One last thing, they aren't as well behaved as a street turbo as the their boost curve is scary when it comes on, ours pushes the last 15psi in just a few hundred rpm which makes it hairry, good thing it's a dedicated track car, just my .02

haha hairy huh...my car has on it now a ghetto ass setup i think..perfect for HMT...but i wanna do it right...it actually has a catterpiller diesel turbo i think?? it say CAT on it and nothing else?? but it spools crazy fast..idk the size or anything doesnt say anywhere on it...and me not having info on it drives me crazy

AirResearch turbos work just fine. But if you truly have a fully built motor with sleeves and the works, you might want to look into some of the nicer turbos whether ball bearing or not... I say look into the T3/T4 57 trim turbos.

x2. why put all that money in your motor and rock a lunkyard turbo? if your motor IS what you say it is, might as well opt for a decent turbo. t3/t4 57trim at least.

yes, thank u the last 2 posts...thats pretty much what i was askin when i started this thread...i didnt know what the deal with that was, im just gonna man up and buy good ----!! and yes my motor is what i say it is...i just dont know jack bout turbos yet

also its hard to justify droppin a 1000+ beans for a sick turbo

Garrett, AirResearch and Honeywell are the same!

I have a T3/T4 on my '91. Can't wait to K-swap it. That ole B18 will be built for the '00!

---- that... Rock a Cheap turbo.. They get the job done and there cheap.. Holset hx50 ftw

T3/T4 what? That's such a generic statement since there's many variations of the combination, might be good to say what size and trim.

I personally like the good old Garrett T3/To4E 50 Trim. It has a good range, high pressure ability, perfect for a low-compression motor looking to make good power. However for a stock Honda motor I won't recommend it simply because in order to get the flow you want to make your power goal, you'd have to run a pretty high pressure rating. In your case the standard Garrett T3/T04e 57 Trim would be a much better choice, allowing for higher flow rates but at a much lower pressure ratio than the 50 Trim. And I hate to say it, but I've been seeing quite a few of the ebay 57 Trims being balanced for a change so that they actually last a decent while, so the choice is really up to you.

Garrett T3/T04E 57trim.

Been looking into the Holset HX35s lately for the K build

so u all are sayin rock a sloppy ebay turbo?? whats equivalent to a g35r?? is there even anything?? like i said im new to this ----, questions may be dumb but i wont ask twice!!

I'm not putting an eBay turbo on my cars, I want to have 100% faith in my parts and replacing them cause I was to cheap to buy them from a reputable source isn't cutting it.

pictures please sounds intresting

Are you seriously popping wood over a k swap?

for ---- sakes

and another thing WHO THE HELL are you -20 post people, where are your intro threads and WHY the hell have you not posted porn?

ASKING the "stairway to heaven" turbo question here is borderline treason.



HEEEELLLP! there's to many of them........we're gettin ran through AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

yeah i'm excited about doing the swap to my car.

Intro is in the sig, not posting porn

its like 300, we put up a damn good fight, but still couldnt win cause some hunchback gave them the back door in.

how do you have 100%? every part is able to fail even garretts/greddy/name brand fail...

Im going to start sending all the noobs to Honda-Tech.. becasue thats what this place sounds like now. What the ----.. Where dose a noob get off saying he isnt going to post porn.. Get with the program or get the ---- out.

Were taking on water cptn... She wont hold together for long...

No ----, I had to lower myself to posting porn, (shareing sucks) Suck it the ---- up and go do the correct noob thing. You bastards have no clue how easy you are getting it right now since the rick-a-thon.

two weeks ago this post would have caused:

the most personal information that could be found on you by secret investegators (buk) and exploited publicly until you cried.

somebody would have showed up at your house within a week to beat the ever living ---- out of you (jay and silent bob strike back style)

and you would be ------- banned and laughed at.


Die in a burning gay bar while getting a lap dance.

lmfao, damn. Just for the sake of porn?

no fuckstick for the sake of respecting the rules. Do you really have trouble understanding the concept of respecting someones place? You take your shoes off when entering someone else house don't you? You put gas in a borrowed car don't you? you wear a rubber to ---- a buddies GF right? Well on HMT, if your a noob, all they ask is you POST SOME ------- PORN.

I do remove my shoes. I fill the tank up back to where it was. As for ------- a buddies girl, bareback rider(not I don't nut on his pillow!)

And as for respecting the rules... Where is that rule at? That is the second time I've asked this. Show me where it is printed and i'll do as it says. I'll leave with this weak ---- though...

hot girls, but not porn.

and as stated, its not so much the porn we care about as following rules that have been around here for a very long time. longer than you have had homo dreams of k swaps

Yeah I meant to post porn, but something about not posting any until someone shows me where that rule is printed came back to mind...

Until then No.

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...-aka-n00b.html

post porn

First it was "No, I'm not gonna", then "I meant to", then "show me the rule"
WTF!...It's one of the noob rules you slackjawed faggot.
That's why there's rules you indecisive, non-compliant, parasite.
Because it's meant to be a ------- mimimum offering that a putz like you can bring to this party, since you can't bring some lame minimalist bag of chips or knowledge....------- mooch

Well said. On a side note, are the former iceracercrx?

In a word, no.
New to hmt, my first project, after a lotta research, was to charge my 1.6 sohc Mazda powered Ford asfire. In addition to posting pics of that "completed project" I posted the "tacos in need of a razor". I'm also thinking I may be wanting to charge a ford 2.0 zetec later this year. Think ZX3 focus...

i always wondered if anyone messed with those cars. i have a lot of retarded stories that start out "we were in this ford aspire" that was before i really started messing with cars. i only fixed cars back then, didnt make them faster

Took two times for you to ------- get that to me! Congrats, I'll work on that intro thread later on.

i thought it was stickied. i think it used to be. either way, it needs to be

Probably another FAIL by Rick.P

Where's the porn?
