Hi all

Anyone familar with the T04E 57trims being advertised in FastFours, toofast2furious? what are they like for boost? and are they spool friendly?

As i'm looking to upgrade my turbo on my RB20DET

For the price that they are at for 850bucks. im kinda thinking it might be better for me to buy one instead of a RB25 turbo (series1) thats 2nd hand.. and could fail with too much boost etc.

i'm looking to run about 1bar (14.7psi) a boost at the most .. maybe a bit more on scramble mode ..say about 16 or 18psi.

going on the compressor maps vs. airflow of a Rb20 .. it should be pretty well matched.. with a little bit of lag b4 boost comes in. not worried too much about the lag ..as the cars auto and is a little laggy on throttle response.

I'm upgrading fuel pump and dump pipe shortly, along with installing Jaycar boost and injector controllers. And i also have GTR injector to go in if need be.. but im not targetting much over 180rwkw.

Basically.. i just wanna know what ppl know about these turbos.... i know the say " u get what u pay for" .. but at the same time i'm not looking to see dramatic numbers .... just a useable turbo for a daily driver.

Thanks

Matt

i see , not good at all m8

... i was looking to buy the same turbo direct from the states.. but id imagine they the same.

as i know that they aint ball bearing type ..although he does advertise otherwise.

i was looking to probably buy one via this website

- http://www.turbocalculator.com/sale-garrett.php

but was looking at getting one with a 0.48 trim. and a 60trim instead.

as the toofast2furious was local. . i was thinking it would be faster to recieve etc.. less bs with shipping.

Those things are a wally turbo . Garrett NEVER offered anything like that in the TA34 range . T3/T04E is a generic Wollynetics term only .

Garretts TA34's used T04E compressor wheels up to about 46-50 trim . They knew that the turbines could not adequatly drive larger trim compressors . There was also a wide range of turbo's in the TB31 series that used these turbines with garden variety T3 compressor wheels .

If you buy one of those things you will go faster , but only due to the wallets weight loss factor ...............

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
