Cheap big snails
 
I was looking around on egay and found a guy that sell diesel parts and turbo's. He's got alot of larger snails and holsets dirt cheap. I mean under 100 for mostly all his turbo's if not all. He lists the conditions and if there's any problems or damage to them. I don't know this dude personally or even online. Just found it looking around and just speading the wealth if someone is looking for a big fatty snail for dirt cheap.

HIs feed back is quite good with 99.7% and only 2 negatives from like 800 transactions. Johnny I say ditch those chrysler T3's and get these instead

bro, old diesel turbos like that arent such a great idea for our honda 4 bangers i mean look at the size of that exhaust housing, its got to be close to a 1.0 or 1.15 A/R housing, which would do a whole lot of nothing on our cars

also look at the weight.............100lbs for 2 turbos???? my 35R weighs 24.4 pounds in its package from Garret,


why spend 250 on a used diesel turbo that may not work when you could spend about 350-450 and get a decent turbo that will work well and last a good while.

Hey I'm not saying go and buy them but there's other people on here with bigger toys that can spool it and have some fun with that stuff. Plus There's a couple of people here that like the holset stuff and a couple of those didn't look to unbearably bigger for you 4 banger guys. Just trying to help.

The big exhaust housings just arent spool happy. For the d series crowd you can block one side of the twin dividers to help with spool. Thats what Jeffy did on his Dohc zc with the 1.00 housing.

that turbo on the second link is from a m113 army personnel carrier, big ass v6 detroit diesel that turbo is like 12" big and weighs about 60lbs I had a brand new one that I could have taken home, but I did not see the point, so I turned it in

A 1.00 would work pretty well on an H22.

Most of the 4-8 liter diesels make a good match to our 4 cyls, though.

My HX35 weighs in at 38 lbs. Depending on the turbo, 50 lbs per is fair.

Ignoring n00bs who will buy complete piles of ---- because they are ignorant, I have $250 in a 12K mile HX35 whose big shaft and beefy bearings means it has more life in it than a new T3/T04E hybrid, and is capable of more power.

Like anything, getting a good used turbo has to do with exactly how much you know.

me and a couple buddies participating in a county event of deisel engine diagnosis for metro buses, and we got a tour of the facilities.. I was VERY surprised.

the buses have a 7L inline 6, and the turbo's on those things are sooo much smaller than I would've thought. the majority of them were holsets, and looked about the size of built honda motors like hotrex's and beau's. my friend and I were practically in tears when we saw 2 motors heading for hte junkyard with 2 perfectly good turbo still attached.. something like .63 exhaust / .70 compressor. we were constantly on the lookout for where they stored their new and used turbo's >:D

i've got a pic of one of them on my phone that I can't post up right now, a brand new holset bolted onto a freshly rebuilt motor. it seriously looks like a bigger T4

oh, and at low idle (700rpm) they run 0psi (no vacuum) :6 , and 8psi @ 2200 w/ no load :6
