My New Turbo For The Rb30 Hybrid! But...

[bluegts]

Hey all.

I just got hold of a t04 turbo. It is a T3 flange and has Super T70 written on it. Thats about all I know? I paid $600 for it down from $1000 from Grand Auto.

Anyway, the problem is, the air outlet is facing the same direction as the exhaust flange, in other words pointing straight at the block.

When I locked at the front casing, it looks like it can unbolt and just twist around. Is it that simple? Or is there something that i've missed? lol...

Cheers, Jack

usually it is that simple, make sure your turbo isnt one of those ebay hand grenades.

I might just get a high mount manifold? Not sure if I have to or not yet...

I never considered it to be an ebay one... How can i check? It's clearly used, but theres barely any shaft play.

thanks, Jack

Ugh... T04 turbos, 1970s!!!

The "Super T70" sounds incredibily familiar to one of the typically dodgy Ebay turbos, especially priced at $600 - there must be something wrong.

hmm great. lol. Maybe I'll pass it straight on then. Is the housing or anything worth much to me? Can I take it somewhere to have different internals put in and a rebuild?

Thanks, Jack

Just bought and picked up the rb30e today. Have already ripped i apart, now organising which parts I'm using to send off for machining/balancing and acid dip and paint. yay. Exciting:)
