so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

i just happen to stuble accross this on ebay with 2 mins left so in a hurry, i bidded on it.

its a brand new garrett. the listing said it was a t3/t4. it was supposly had the standard t3 flange, but when it got here today i seen that it had twin scroll big (t4?) flange. it have a vban dp which i am really not goning to use. i am not 100% sure if i am going to keep this turbo yet. i was going to save it for my 4g64 (97 galant 2.4 block)/ 1g 4g63t (92 turbo eclpse head) galant build. i wanet expecting a twin scroll. i am some what new to turbos so i am not sure if this one is good for my set up, but i know it dosent fit my hald ass obx manifold

should i:

1: sell the turbo and but another
2: keep this turbo, its better for my set up and get a different manifold

That turbo is huge :o, I say keep it and see how it goes. >:D

+1 :y

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

+ alot

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

what do yall think something like this goes for new?

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

probably a couple hundred but that turbo is useless for anything but a diesel. that exhaust wheel/housing is way mismatched to that comp side. T4 1.32 A/R. hope thats going on a 3+ liter motor.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

You could send it to BLAAST and have him put on a smaller exhaust housing/wheel, probably could make it a T3 flange as well.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Either that or a rotary. I say use it anyways. Like boobs, bigger the better!

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Get a smaller exh side and rip on that little slut :y

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Looks like something out of a Catipiller. :o

Strap it to the tow-truck and yard a house. :y

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

block off one of the sides

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Properly sized hotside FTMFW! It'll probably cost you another $200 or so to buy a new one and have it fit, but it'll be worth it on your smaller displacement motor. You'll have a lot more fun with better spool; especially on the street. Sweet ass coldside though, I wonder what mm the compressor wheel is. If you paid less than $300 for it I'd say you did just fine.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

too big, it needs to go

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

also, exactly what flange is that, incase i do try to run tis on my built* galant motor. ill have to get a new manifold.

imagine that thing top mounted with a nice 3" dp and a dpi nitrous system to help it boost up

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

t4 split exhaust

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

'

see if you can get a smaller housing for it and give it a shot. It actually does look new tho

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

ooh.... topmount with 3 inch dp...... nitrous to spool.... i just got a hard on.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Top log FTW.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

where have i seen that before?

oh thats right.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

this one was done by rms, i belive. i will build mine like this

something else i noticed today, the down pipe opening is not like a normal p-v-band flange that has a lil lip on it. this one is set in. are there different style vbans or is this one missing something

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Looks like an S-trim t04b... you now have a gigantic t04b hotside with a smallish s-trim side. That compressor will be straining to do 400whp, yet it will take forever to spool it.

Your best bet is to sell it and not buy ---- last-minute, or while you're drunk. Thats why my friend still has 300 hacky-sacks left, damn drunken fool... :1

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

---- Id run it and see what it makes on my ----...... :y

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

from 9k to 10k RPM, you will be on top of the world.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Yeah but with your mods, head work ect., your engine probably has the flow rate to whirl that thing. He's talking about what...a relatively stock h22? I'd file that one under "not gonna happen."

my $.02

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Re sell it you'll proably make 100 bucks+ profit on ebay.

He said it was going on his 4g64/4g64t hybrid. 2.4L block

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

It's still a beast and I doubt it would be applicable for the street unless he does WOT pulls up a 35% gradient every day to work.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

i poseted in on craigslist for $450, i got 3 meople comming to "look" at it tomarrow

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Nobody listens, do they?

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

What the ---- would that do other than make it sound gayer? The flow rate through the turbine will remain the same. Double the ex gas velocity? The exducer is still massive. It would be like a 6 year-old blowing on stationary windmill. :S

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

:y

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Why would two OGs advocate it if it just made a funny noise? ::)

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Yeah if it's really a t04b s trim, peak efficiency is within 150hp-250hp and it could be pushed to 350 HP with poor efficiency. THe only way to keep it p trim and get good spoolup on this application would be a turbine a/r around .4 or .5.
but yeah, converting the whole turbine side to a stage 1 .63 Ar would make it into something slightly better than a super60.

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

look in to some old build that jeff did. ;)

Re: so i got ths new turbo off ebay, but it wasent what i expected
 

Umm...you're gonna have to clarify. ???

Wrong, one2suckcock. Tough-gay will always be a n00b with his stupid attitude, but no one sees you carting around on turbocharged two wheel deathmachines. Now get the ---- out of SQ's thread with your faggotry.
