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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
