Anakha Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hey guys, I know this is a very open question - but I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on the performance of the T70 Turbo? I'm at the stage where if I wanna do anything further to my car it should be the turbo - but I don't want to go to big. I'm looking at one for $400...

paulr33 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 a turbocharger for $400, cant be too good given a reliable new ball bearing unit is near $1800 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/184086-t70-opinions/#findComment-3334046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 $400 = time bomb. Bush bearing turbos are $900-$1100 Ball bearing around $1700 If the price doesnt fit to those, dont bother Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/184086-t70-opinions/#findComment-3334387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahtone Racing Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 i know of one guy on here who has used one particular design of T70 (dearer than $400 though, closer to $900) without any issues on more than one occasion Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/184086-t70-opinions/#findComment-3334452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakha Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Righto.. So the general opinion is a no go - but mainly based on it being cheap - not on experience. Not for an RB20 - your referring to lag? or something utterly different? 2GU UP was the guy using on the RB20DET? I think we're talking bout the same turbo here Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/184086-t70-opinions/#findComment-3334664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbo is far to big for your application even if it wasnt a cheap poorly made turbo it would still be useless for an rb20. And as 2GU UP just said the T70 was used on a rb30det Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/184086-t70-opinions/#findComment-3334689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
