I stumbled across t3/ t4 turbocharger (garrett comp housing) on ebay that i ended up buying for pretty cheap.It caught my intrest because of the housing sizes which seemed spot on for my needs, so i couldn't resist. it has been rebuilt with a .5 garrett comp housing. the rear seems to be some generic t3 .82 with a 5 bolt dump. The previous owner didnt know much about it, wheel trims ext. I pulled the housing off and measured the inducer and exducer of both wheels. If someone could teel me what this combination is, or what power it is good for i would be fantastic. it wiil be goin on an internally stock rb25 (if i use it), std manifold with a tial 44mm gate welded to it.my aim is for 260kw and up. do you thing this turbo would be suitible, boost response ect, mainly going to be used as drift car. aprox wheel measurements are:

comp side, inducer 48.29 mm exducer 70mm

Turbine side exducer 48mm inducer 58mm. Wich equals a 47 trim and 68 trim if i calculated correctly, which seems very small. i have attached some photos so you can see the wheel designs and housings. Any info would be very helpful. cheers guys.

p.s dont flame me because it old technology dinasure turbo, some combinations have been very successful in the past.

Lol, people that browse this site never learn.

Then they come here wanting power figures.

Put the f**king thing on and find out? Do we look like we have a crystal ball specialized in telling power figures on piece of shit eBay turbos?

was waitng for your post same shit on evry t3/ t4 topic i have read. Yes you can tell how much power a turbo can make , including it response(to an extent) by comparing its wheel diameters and shape to proven combinations. If u dont have anything constructive to say f**k from hear. by the way Ebay is a maket place they dont build turbos you dick.

Shows your intelligence. So what are you going to do if it only makes 200hp?

I ask again, why the hell would you buy a turbo if you've got no idea what it is capable of? You just bought it because it was a turbo? I didn't even read the specs and I can see an issue already with a to4 whatever the hell random ass front wheel crammed into a 0.5 cover. You know there are about 30 different kinds of to4 wheels right? T3/t4 means jack shit I'm afraid. Its probably still some Chinese shit.

If it doesn't fail, when it makes well below your dream target, let me guess, it's going to be the tuners fault?

I REFUSE to tune anything with an unknown turbo on it. Especially if I has come from eBay - the place where it's easy to take money from the uneducated.

my point exactly you dint even read the specs, and quick to jump to the conclusion its junk. and yes i do know there are many t04 wheels, thats why i posted it up in the first place , to see if anyone could identify it. End of the day i bought cheap and could get rid of it for the same price, if it useless on a 25.

He will take it off and replace it with a new t04e or better yer a kando turbo (another ebay turbo for the uneducated). A cut and shut on his dump and the rest of the described setup (gate off the manifold) will work a treat.

Actually I think this could be interesting, yet I think the 50 trim would be better. AND I think we can calm down a little as its not like he has come with his hands empty.. We know its a T04E based turbo and we know what the inducer and exducers are. With a little effort it could be easily identified and SOMEBODY is bound to know what that particular item is capable of OR atleast know to say its not good or unknown.

OP if you really want a solid 260kw from the described setup please read this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/347726-kando-dynamics-turbo/page__st__1380__gopid__6155230#entry6155230

And consider this turbo:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbocharger-Kinugawa-TD06SL2-20G-w-T3-V-Band-Housing-10cm-/280776600350?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415f96eb1e

By the end of next week the results for that particular turbo will be up, it will honestly be a safer bet than your unknown T04E... But there is nothing wrong with an old T04 in my eyes, yanks pull it off in a big way even today.

Most off the shelf turbo kits out of the US encompass a T3/T4 T04E type turbo.

Goodluck.

nothing wrong with some ebay turbos (kando) they make good numbers. i agree the t04e is no good its old tech and will proberly be cheaply built but then again slap that bitch on there and see what you get push 18 pound though it and you may get close but mega lag

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
