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 :)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
