Question about BA Garett turbo

[Dim]

Hey Guys,

Looking into buying a garett turbo off a BA Falcon.

All i know is that these turbos are ball bearing .

Ive been told they are gt35's but im not too sure....also have been told that exhaust housing is to big for what i want and need to change it.

How would this turbo go with a rb25?

Any1 used 1 or heard of any1 using one?

What would be a decent price to pick this turbo up for? (the one my mate has in brand new )

Any info would help?

Cheers

AFAIK it is an internally gated version of a GT35R and I have seen them go for around $2k used.

I wanted one for my 3.0 but a couple turbo shops said it would be too big for my power/boost targets.

the GT35 is wicked for the RB25/30's. Very well suited.

Dim, for the RB25 i'd be looking at the smaller GT30 .82 rear housing

Cant remember the comp wheels.

You'd also need a nice strong motor to make the most of even that turbo too IMO

If you get a Performance place to buy the turbo, a GT30 can be had, trade, for around 2k flat, brand new... give or take depending on the prices at the time etc etc.

Isn't the XR6 turbo a GT40? Also I heard that they are $3300 brand new from Ford with a Ford logo!!!

We will have them new soon for around 2K new.Listed as a GT35 rated at 500hp.

hmmm.. sounds good - thats pretty damn good for an internally gated turbo of that size.

i would think it would be a little laggy on a rb25det though(?)

yeh the turbo is called a GT40, and id say it'd be real laggy on an RB25...

[riceline]

so how would it go on a RB31?

Will let you know how the go on RB26s soon.

They are available every day of the week for a little over $2k. You just have to know where to look
