Item: Garrett T04Z, Surge Ported, 0.84 rear.

Location: Brisbane or Yatala (ERD workshop)

Condition: 18 months old. Has done just over 10000kms. Perfect condition - no shaft play, turbo is currently on car. Never seen higher than 25psi.

Price: $1500 firm

Reason for sale: getting a new turbo for track work.

Car was dyno'd at 618hp (sheet attached) @ 25psi with this turbo. I see 1 bar @4100rpm and 24psi by 4500. Turbo is on the car and will remain on until I have a buyer. I will take people for a demo drive if they want. It has a t4 flange and is split pulse. Garrett turbo beanie not included in price, but can source you a new one to suit for approx ~$200

Any questions post or pm me.

Note the surge porting was performed 8 months ago by MTQ. Turbo was inspected and serviced in the process - came back with flying colours. Surge porting improves response and extends turbo life. Cost me about $350 to get done.

bump - this item is still for sale. Had some interested people, but no one quite ready to buy.

I was originally hoping to be able to take people for test drives, but still waiting on gearbox parts, etc. so this wont be possible as I want to put my new turbo on in the next week or 2 and the car wont be ready to drive before that. Pm me or call on 0400412580.

Cheers

bump. this is a good price for a good turbo. I've had a few pm's asking if the price is negotiable - short answer no. Your looking at well over $2500 to buy this new with the surge porting. a $1k+ saving for an item in perfect condition is a pretty good deal.

It depends on how serious you want to be about the track work I guess. I've found that with medium hard semi slicks (595RS-R's) it can be difficult to maintain a high enough corner speed to keep the turbo in its happy zone (4000pm+). Sometimes you need to go down to 3500 or so and its just a bit doughy down there. But then again, its a turbo that will support a low 10 second pass, annihilate almost everything on the street / at dyno comps, and can still hold its own around a track, particular one with long corners.

My focus for the car is shifting from a tough all-rounder to a more serious track car, so im looking at downsizing the turbo or going back to twins.

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
