Looking For A Turbo

[bnpcustoms]

Hey Guys,

In need of a turbo, currently running a 3540, trying to get a turbo close to or the same, second hand is ok providing there is not shaft play.

Thanks

Hypergear?

Kando?

Check them out in the forced induction section

If he's after something of similar size to a gt3540, Hypergear and kando won't cut the mustard imo

[Manuel Kasko]

I didn't even know what that turbo was haha

Just chucking some info out there

Yeah as mentioned hypergear and kando turbo's are not quite close enough, although the hypergear ATR45 is close but on border being close enough.

the 3540 isnt overly expensive, compared to some of the smaller ones ie gt30's.

have you thought about going to a 3788? slightly bigger but uses the large frame bearing cartrige and T4 housings. good for 450-500kw at a stretch.

or pickup an ex BA/BF xr6 turbo and change to the normal garret housings?

That is a good suggestion, there'd probably be a few second handers out there you could pick up for cheap. They come with a 1.06 turbine housing standard don't they?

How much power is this car owner wanting to make and is that power on 98 (assuming so). Precision turbos are looking pretty good from the latest couple of results in the precision turbo thread. They have the option of bb or plain depending on your budget as well

The setup for the car at the moment is for 350rkw. It was making 345rkw when the current turbo went.

We are looking at the Precision 6262. Having heard that the Precision Turbos are pretty good.

Do it! Check out the precision thread in the forced induction section

[GTRKat]

Ooooh go the Precision!

Hearing nothing but praise for them! Look forward to seeing what mine can do when we wind some boost in.

Double post

Only thing to note is the 6262 is a 400+kw turbo

With response between a 35R and a T04Z

But supposedly better between gears

[Mitcho_7]

The twin scroll setup on jez's car had pretty good response for the power IMO, but then again he was flex fuel.

How much boost is the owner of the car wanting to run?

Whatever you decide, street to track has great prices on any Garrett turbos (he can probably get precision turbos aswell) and they will arrive within a week. The aud is great at the moment as well!

I've had a ATR45 in.82 rear agers ago. That core is interchangable with a Ford XR6 BA turbo.

Planning to run between 18-24psi as it was tuned running 22psi mind you the engine has a fair bit of internal mods hence why the plan is to go for the large turbo.. We did look at the precision 6765 with a .8 rear. Which would give 500rkw which would lower the boost level down a little with more to play with.

Btw Thanks for all your imput guys.
