hi guys, im on a budget = :laugh: =casual worker

i am considering a t70 turbo.

i have heard both good and bad things. i know of about 50 ppl with them with no probs

have any of you actually used one

i will only be boosting 10-15psi, nothing extreme.

specs:

Front Cover A/R .7

Front wheel trim 64.5mm

Rear Cover A/R .82 t3 flange

Rear wheel trim 60.5mm

yeap - they are big, laggy, and a waste of time putting one on a Standard engine running 10-15psi.

15psi out of one of these things is enough to push a standard engine to blow actually. Proceed with caution.

What brand is it? Garrett?

yea garret,

cheers for your response mate.

then would it be better to get something with an a/r of .60. eg a t66?

but im after 1st hand experience, not inuendo.

LoL, AR has nothing to do with the naming convention of the turbo. A T04z rear turbine housing for instance, comes in AR's of .70, .84, 1.00, 1.15, 1.32. The AR is the ratio of the cross sectional area of the turbine nozzle : distance from the centerline of that area to the centre of the turbine wheel.

IE: You can get a .70 AR capable of flowing 200hp, you can get a .70 AR capable of flowing 900hp

Your best bets to learn the limits of various stock bits of peices you have. injectors, pump etc etc, and then size a turbo that will be useful to you, in that power window. High flows are popular.

This LINK will help show you what you can do, with what parts

Thanks

cheers, guys, i might just go for a smaller to4 option, dont want to blow it up.

as for the semantics, asume i have all supporting mods, but stock internals

Turbo's dont blow motors, the amount of air they move with insufficient fueling does.

If you have the pump, injectors, spark, and way of controlling it all, then you'll be ok, its then up to you how much boost you run on the stock motor.

cheers mate, yea i have 550cc'ers, 040 pump, and jjr coils and iridium plugs.

im just a bit worried, as mafia said, i wouldnt want to go past 15psi. and lag, heard, theres nothin till about 5k.

so i will go a slightly smaller t04b turbo instead.

thx for all ur comments

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
