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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
