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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
