Selling 1 brand new GT30 500HP ballbearing turbo with the smaller 0.63AR exhaust housing for less lag.

These are good up to around 420RWHP and are very responsive for the power offered.

Unit is brand new and still wrapped in the plastic, bought it for a project that is no longer going ahead.

Dont want to loose too much on the thing but will sell for $2300 ONO.

Its just the turbo, but all GT30 are externally gated so it might bolt on to your manifold but you will run unlimited boost and it wont last real long :rofl:

You need a manifold for it and an external gate. I can supply a highmount tune length manifold brand new and a turbosmart 45mm external gate brand new with this turbo for 1800 the pair.

Total is $4100.

Daniel,

Don't want to be very condescending, but these can be bought straight out of Garret for $1900.00 with warranty.

Another concern is!

How do you suggest possible 420rwhp from a 500hp compressor, when it is perceived that a loss of 30% is not uncommon through the drive train

$1900 from Garrett?

R.R.P. on one is approx 2.3k

Most places are more to the 2.4k though.

You can get it TRADE for $2000 or less, but not everyone has access to that.

And i have just got off the phone with Garrett. It's no where near $1900 direct from them.

Much closer to what i said.

on the HP thing, 420rwhp is impossible from a 500 turbo.

350rwhp is far more accurate.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
