Yup, I got a T3/T4 hybrid and I'm stoked with it.

I've been running 28 psi on it with no hassles at all for a couple of years now in an RB20DET.

She comes on at 2700 and screams to the redline.

For what they are they're cheap and reliable.

Thumbs up from me.

Paul, I dunno about eBay but mine was created by Grant Bojanjac at Per4manz.

His work scored 1 world record & 5 national records last season with his turbo’s.

Definitely not cheap China knock-off crap.

Like I said, very happy camper.

I think the OP is probably talking about ebay T3/TO4e turbos. That being said, what I said before still stands. Saying T3/T4 turbo means nothing. The OP should provide a link or a company or SOMETHING about the specific turbo he is talking about, unless he is just trying to have a general descusion about the advantages/disadvantages of running a turbo with a much smaller exhaust wheel/housing compared to it's compressor side.

if i was talking about an Ebay turbo i would of asked "are the T3/T4 Ebay turbo any good" but i didn't.. as i asked about a Hybrid T3/T4 turbo....

And i can only tell you what i know as in the add there is not much to go on....i think there a T34r Hybrid

Hybrid in turbochargers means fast turbo response and high turbo efficiency. All modern performance turbochargers are considered hybrid turbochargers. Its not a Business/Company who build turbochargers.

Edited by hypergear

hybrid actually means a combination of parts, components and peieces to make a working solution

ie its custom parts, custom wheels, bearings, covers, fittings, flanges etc

for something as critical and performance demanding on skyline it is critical you select a suitable turbocharger

picking a mish mash custom hybrid unit is not going to give you what you want, if you are considering this, keep the std turbocharger

it is by far a better unit than some of the ebay / hyrid / t3/t4 / kkr / chinese turbochargers

if you want more power, you need $ to back it, not a $500 turbocharger, a $1500-$2000 turbocharger

Sorry man, this one isn't what I've got.

Mine's a mutt which is why it's referred to as a hybrid (not to be confused with the brand HYBRID), and has been made from the ground up with a variety of components.

It consists of a T3 stage 3 turbine trim, and a T04E compressor trim, and ball bearing shaft.

When you look at the $3500+/- price tag of a brand new 480hp HKS 3037S Pro which is what I wanted originally, mine was a cheap 500hp alternative at only $2300.

I can't say that I agree with a word of that. They might be considered quick spooling in general due to the smaller than normal exhaust side in proportion to the compressor, but this can have very negative effects like very high back pressure/low knock threshold. No way all modern performance turbochargers are considered hybrid turbochargers. Is a GT30r? GT40r? Borg-Warner 368?

I agree with all that right up to the price thing. You already know my affinity for Holsets, and they are less than $500 used on ebay, but they are $2000 new :P

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
