What Can This Turbo Do? T3/rx7 Hybrid...

[WogsRus]

Well now having this turbo,and finaly getting time to take it all apart, needs a seal kit through it, no big deal, one on the way.

The Compressor is 59 trim and the A/R is about .65 or so hard to measure exactly

I could not get the rear housing off, but i presume it's same specs as slides high flows. How does one remove this,i could move the housing on the core, but i tried to pull it off, and it almost felt like it was hitting the turine.

Are these compressor specs any good? what sought of performance would it do on an RB25?

Hi guys.

I have an opertunity to buy this turbo, the specs as yet are unknow. I am only looking for a slight upgrade, and i belive this could meet the bill.

all i have at the moment is:

Rebuilt 360 degree thrust bearings 3 months ago.

It has a t3 exhaust flange from a Nissan skyline with a compressor housing from a Rx7, it has larger exhaust wheel + high flow

It look as good as new, What sought of things can i check, ie measure to give me an indication of the turbos performance?

I simply need some way of determening what this may do and how well it might work on an Rb25det.

thanks

This can do....... LAG... nah who knows what exhaust wheel is in it?

[WogsRus]

so would it be any good, apparantly it has a skyline rear high flowed with an Rx7 front high flowed or something.

Wjat questions do i ask the guy to get some idea, i mean what does one measure to work out what the turbo may do, it inlet size, outlet size, and so forh

Anyone else. PLEASE.

Would this be laggy or what?

MAD an oldschool "hi flow" on a rotor its worth about 300hp at the rears sooooo 1995

[Tangles]

meh looks good to me

rear wheel looks big, like a max oversize rear housing/wheel

front, who knows....... thats the important one tho

if its a bargain, then try it out. can always resell for what you get it for.

if its over $700 dont bother, talk to Slide here about his highflows

Id say give it a shot..... have you got engine management to suit ? 9edit: remap + safc, yeah sounds good)

[R31Nismoid]

Ask for the Compressor spec

Ask for the turbine spec

Then the housing sizes front and rear

Then you will get a half decent answer. Without is really guess work.

[The Mafia]

Ask these questions

Compressor Size (mm) :

Compressor Trim:

Compressor Cover Ratio and what it's off:

Turbine Size (mm) :

Turbine Trim:

Turbine housing Ratio and what it's off:

[WogsRus]

thanks guys, i am going to aks now and see what happens, Thanks all.

BTW the turbo is a bargain and a half.

[WogsRus]

Compressor Size (mm) :

Compressor Trim:

Compressor Cover Ratio and what it's off: Not sure about A/R but of an RX7

Turbine Size (mm) :

Turbine Trim:

Turbine housing Ratio and what it's off: It's a Skyline RB25 rear.

That's all for now waiting more details

hi wogsrus,

i just dont get it

there are probably 20 pages of proven rb25 and turbo combinations

there are a complete range of off the shelf garrett items with compressor maps

and you can choose what combo's from gcg

but you insist on picking random combo turbos with no information and wanting to know if they work?

why the take risk on unknown combos that might not work / fit when you can choose proven results and just pick the power figure / liner curve you would like ?

and even if its a bargain, youll probably just be disappointed with everyone else that comes along an ebay/friend "bargain" hiflow turbo super combo turbo that either sucks, needs a big list of crap to make it fit or just plain old sucks and performs like a bucket of crap. why take the guesswork when the answers and work has already been done

i just dont get it

anyhow good luck

[WogsRus]

Thanks Paul BUT

Firstly, any turbo of the shell is a rip off, no matter what you pay. CGC are a rip off the only turbo i would consider is a SLIDE high flow.

I am simply trying to be different, everyone does the same thing, buys and off the shelf turbo and goes wow it worked. I'm am trying to do something different for a change. BUT the main reason i am asking, is that the perosn selling the turbo has no idea about it, so i need to ask stuff but no idea what to ask to get correct anwsers. AND perhaps by asking a question someone here has used a simillar setup and got good results.

I am not saying i would buy it, i just have not heard anything about it. I am actually more interested in a SLIDE high flow, but i figured i would as here.

SO thanks for the advice Paul, also turbo is a direct bolt on. I have all the elbows and bits for the intake.

buy quality parts (with a solid history of good results) and you cut down your time chasing your arse trying to trouble shoot problems second rate/unknown parts give you.

paul is spot on.

agreed.

People use off the shelf for a reason.

1) It works

2) Works well

3) Results/specs are attainable easily and you can match turbo perfectly.

If its off a skyline, ask for a dyno printout....................bet they don't have one [i bet they do]!!! Why, cos they would be embarassed to show it.

There is never any bargains, only problems.

[huddy]

i think there is a guy with an old school turbo similar to this on his drift cefiro - RB25 also - making 260rwkw - BUT - specs help...

I can understand being differrent there are 1000 odd proven examples... i go in enough cars now that owners love that i simply would have refused to pay for because they are well below what i consider good upgrades.

If the seller cant give you all the specs or knows nothing... he knows alot more than he is willing to share most probaly taken it somewhere and got told i aint fitting that shite....

remmember there is power and there is power, see below;

[grandmasterb]

I have to agree Wog

its one thing to be "different" its another to be stupid...

FARK off these stupid idea's of being different and not wanting to be a sheep and spend a little more on something that you wont want to change in 2weeks after its done and spending more money on something that was a "direct bolt on"

You said it yourself that you only wanted around 250ish (which is bucket loads for a daily) which can be achieved with a slide highflow

Dont write this turbo off. It sounds very similar to a hiflow i was looking at back in 2001 through ATS in Adelaide. They took an RX7 turbo, a Nissan turbo, a bigger Garret compressor etc, it was a realy mis match and made a strong 200-210rwkws on a few cars at sane boost levels. Maybe track down ATS in Adelaide and see if Bill can shed any light on the turbo you are looking at.

Sure there are better ways to skin a cat these days, but i run a plain bearing truck turbo, and yet to see any latest and greatest turbos from HKS etc push it aside. If its the turbo im thinking of they are not a bad thing, I seem to recall the ZOOm S13 with RB20 had one before it switched to the TD06-20G with 16cm housing

[1400r]

^ yes and it was a very laggy thing

the highflow

Ive asked my boss about these rx7 style highflows and he swears at them

x jms owner so he would have experience with that s13 wt rb20

[Tangles]

if it IS a bragain (say $200) - buy it and give to aaron (Slide) to wave his wand over. going by the rear housing, that job is half done. front needs be matched to the back, probably a new thrust bearing core as well? ask arron for a quote......

sliding performance goodness for the win, the value is unbeatable. IMO. if its cheap buy it, for the same price as a slide highflow all up the issues (if any) could be rectified anyway.

I cant stress how well slides highflow works on a rb25det, just feels so much nicer to drive. I agree, I think the gcg is overpriced, no way its worth twice the price.
