hey guys was flicking through ebay pages and came across these gt35r style turbo's from PCP from the info i have gathered it seems like they are a copy size wise and should do the same as 35r but for under 800 bucks am willing to give it a shot, anybody seen or heard of these before the more info/opinoinsthebetter for determining if i proceed with the buy or not

its 70ar and 63 ar rear internal gate

Its a gamble, but not really a cheap one, they dont have any warranty, so if it dies in 2 weeks, you are $800 down. If you have that sort of money to spend, i would get a holset hx35 and get it rebuilt, should be around $800

Yeah there's a warranty, but it's crap:

*3 month warranty commences from the date the item is posted.

*Any faulty item must be returned (at customer’s expense) to PCPA. If a new item is sent, customer must pay for return postage.

*Must report any manufacture faults with-in 3 days of when the item is delivered.

*Other than the faulty part, we do not take any responsibility for damages to other parts which may have been damaged.

*Warranty is only valid by a professional mechanic which has expertise in the field in which the car part is used for. A tax invoice also must be provided to give proof of the fitting.

*Warranty is void if the item is used for any type of racing or illegal street driving.

*Warranty is void if the item is altered in anyway.

*Warranty is void if any attempt has been made to repair a faulty item.

What a load of toss.......

Well i see some problems here, apart from the fact its a ebay turbo

1. GT35 'style' does not mean GT35 performance... if anything it wont be close in terms of outright power, response, possible surge issues

2. If its indeed a 700HP comp wheel like a true GT35... then a .63 is the WRONG choice. GT35 and .63 internal gates do not mix.

3. #2 leads me to believe you have not dont turbocharge homework with regards to the housing choices/gate setup

and ye, the fact its ebay, bush bearing

As for the others talking about warranty, its performance. There is no warranty.

Just look @ Garrett's warranty as an example... there might as well not be one

This is the reason I went with Per4manz, their warranty is, "All of our units are backed by a written Warranty for a period of 12 months, 20,000km, 500 hours for new units & 6 months, 10,000km 250 hours for reconditioned units."

4 years old, 28psi, and still going strong. Gotta love it!

^ ye no.

It would still be a conditional warranty, same as Garrett's.

There is no way it would be open ended, there would be more too it

The only thing Grant stipulated with mine was that I was not to exceed the maximum boost level of the unit.

im guessing you have had past experience with .63 housing and internal gate then. if i get a real 35r then it will be .63 housing as i want a really responsive set-up unlike making a cup of tea whilst waiting for it to reach boost threshhold lol. engine 26/30, should be on pretty early hopefully 3200rpm.

but yea, this turbo wasn't too sure about hence the topic. if you have any past history would be very keen to hear about it.

why not get a .82 3076R. why get a 3582R and put such a tiny housing on it?

You should go and read the full version :)

How is there a maximum boost level anyhow, every motor is different therefore moving efficiencies across the map

Not personally - but the sheer amount of users posting info is all i need.

I toyed with the smaller frame GT30, T04e etc on various motors.

If you want responsive and its on a 26/30, you are kidding yourself to run a .63 :)

Get a smaller turbo comp wheel if you want response, not a smaller rear housing (in this instance)... more reading the RB30 hybrid dyno thread :)

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
