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, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
