Item: Garrett T04 Turbo

Age: coupla years?

Condition: perfecto!

Price: $1400 or so

To Fit: any ting from a lawn mower to a garden hose... NO CARS! (I'm kidding)

Location: Sydney (North Shore / Hornsby)

Contact: me, here, PM, thread...

Comments: I have this Garrett T04 up for grabs. I am not up to this stage in my car modifications unfortunately, and I simply can not use it (plus I have another turbo anyway :down:). It has absolutely no shaft play, spins well, nice and clean, looks purdy (?).

I will swap this for a Power FC for a 33 GTS-T S1.5, or perhaps some other items of interest? But a PFC would be just dandy :P

The same turbo is used on a 33 GTS-T in Melbourne, and with supporting mods, is making 350rwkw, and I believe has smashed a number of gearboxes too... It was in the latest HPI 'Skyline Special' magazine. I can get a pic of that if need be :P

PICCIES!

That's something I have to be certain of... Mine is a series 1.5, so yeah... thanks for the confusion Nissan! :D

But don't go anywhere, I'm pretty sure the engines in 1.5s are Series 2 engines...

I'll ask some smart people :)

this mite be a weird question but would this suit a low mount setup ?

You would be cutting it pretty fine to be honest... I would try though, it would be a sweet hidden little monster! :D

The problem is with the exhaust housing... it's rather large and really shows the potential of the turbo, where the compressor side in comparison is tiny... Like I've said already, I would love to use this turbo, but I'm just not up to that stage yet...

You're best off getting a VG30 turbo (which I also have, but I plan on using for a short while maybe)... This turbo doesn't even have a wastegate...

The VG30 turbo has steel wheels (though I am yet to see an R33 GTS-T turbo that doesn't) and a larger exhaust housing...

Or you can get a miriad of other turbos... hi-flowed GCG one perhaps... the choice is yours :cheers: But this turbo is a mid range (these days) turbo for an external wastegate type set up... Something I hope to achieve one day, if I can ever find a damn ECU I like! :)

the t04 can be set as a low mount the turbo is peak power of 550hp its a t4 flange so it will go on a stock rb20 or 25

Haha, nah, I love it :D

I have to see what mine is running first... It certainly does NOT sound standard, and the PSI and power for a supposedly standard car don't match (178kw and 10psi without any aftermarket boost controlling)... after that, I will make my decision... I am thinking about chucking this in there, getting a new exhaust manifold (have a low mount one for built in wastegate) and a new wastegate, but I'm sure I will need an ECU one of these days, and if I can get that first, I will...

Unless an offer comes up, I will prbably get impatient and throw this on my car :D

Hows your stuff going? :unsure:

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
