we are also thinking of puttin a cam or cam's and betta pistons to but we read that the T70 spool up fast.

This T70 turbo was a kit for a CA18 and came with T70 turbo, exturnal wastegate, Stanless Manifold, all the gastet's and golts and a b.o.v.

Alex.

Yep and plus this kit is cheap. Check it out on eBay. I had a look at buying this kit and I learnt a few things. First off all its not a Garrett T70. Look at its specs and try to match it the proper garrett T70. Nothing matches nor does it to any other genuine turbo. Secondly, the manifold, BOV and wastegate are all imitations of the HKS material. Dont expect to get anything like you saw in the eBay pic as it simply wont be the case. I always go by the moto "if its to good to be true... then it's probably too good to be true". I know of someone who has bought that mock-up T70 turbo and it lasted 2 months.

If you were to get a genuine T70 from garrett, it would be no good on a CA nor a SR or RB20.

Im scoping out the extra cash to get a proper GT30 and tial wastegate as I almost got bitten for that kit.

You have be warned!

Best of luck in making your decision and if you do buy it, let me know how it goes.

"If thats the case, you're going to have more than a CA18 or SR20 to get anywhere near spooling it up."

Really? I know one person that built a Sierra Cosworth 2 litre engine with a Garrett T76, and it made full boost at 5500rpm with a power band from 5500-10,000rpm. Went like the clappers.... and was a very fun car!

Dont forget, people put T88-34d's and HKS T51R SPL's on SR20's and occasionally CA18s as well!

People have had compressor housings on these split in half. They are cheap China made rubbish. Be careful if you’re going to buy a kit.

They are pretty big in the states, some have no problems, and some have all the said problems. I guess you get what you pay for.

As 180bfj20det said :

First off all its not a Garrett T70
I had a T8834D on a 13BT and thats only 1.3L.. meh.

Yer, but rotary engines flow a HEAP more exhaust gas then a piston motor from my beliefs....hence why they run big exhaust housings...cos they can get those big turbos spooling...unlike a ca18 or sr20.

I have heard of an sr20 with a HKS 3037, but it needed a 9,000 rpm limit to get the most out of the turbo....ie a very high rpm drift machine

Ah no that's not actually correct. The 13B is a 6 cylinder 3.9 litre engine and as such has about as much exhaust gas flow as it should. The 1.3 litre is using Mazdas measurements which are factually incorrect. As evidenced by the amount of fuel and air the engine consumes. Consequently it is pretty unrealistic to compare a turbo off a 1.8 or 2 litre with one off a 3.9 litre.:(

That would make sense to me....ive only always hear of rotary engines as mentioned above when regarding their size.....

 

So what are they normally rego'ed as? 4cyl?

In the "Number of Cylinders" box it used to say "N/A", don't know what they use now.:(

They are a 4 cyld but in its own class if ya get me.

alex

Ok, I give up, how do you get 4 cylinders?

My thinking is, they have 2 chambers with 1 rotor in each chamber and each rotor has 3 sides. So it's either 2 cylinder (meaning 1 chamber = 1 cylinder) or its 6 cylinder (meaning 3 rotor sides X 2 rotors).

Personally I reckon it's 6 cylinder.

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side
    • It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers
    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
