T3/t4 To4e / Need Help

[217/r33]

Hi everyone,

Need your advice and thoughts on this turbo. I'm planing to put it in my r33 gtst. Questions are:

*Has anyone had one of these before?

*Herd of this brand?

*What power is to be expected?

*Worth my while? Or should I just go for garret unit?

Any other comments welcome, I want everyone’s opinion on this. This turbo is going to cost me about $400 dollars.

A simple search on them will reveal the world wide flaming they have received.

I have had many people bring me these turbo's for diagnosis wanting to know why they died.

It will fail

Agrred ^^ a simple seach would answer your questions.

As usual

ebay = DONT GO THERE

Utter waste of money.

Expect it to fail

Expect it to end up in the bin

Figured that it was no good when I found it on eBay but just though to give it a shot and see what you guys thought. Thanks for the great input anyway I think it will paint a clear picture for anyone else looking at these units.

A laggy dog even if was genuine Garrett . People have to get it into their heads that bored out T3 housings while convienent do not work with TO4B/E compressor ends . Nissan used the small series T3 turbine and their own style of housing and waste gate . The USDM Ford/Garrett T3 turbine/housing/wastegate combo was different (larger) and has some chance of powering TO4E compressors because of this .

ANY T3/TO4E hybrid is ancient history nowdays . Much better things are available . Don't confuse these things with Garretts TB31's and TA34's because while they can have some dimensional similarities they are not the same thing . They use more modern turbines and housings than any T3 though the GT series bits are a big jump beyond both .

classic chineese moch up lol

housings are nice. everything else is sub standard (materials used in construcion/ paticuly the main shaft wich loves to bend : )

The turbine housing has Turbonetics "T" on it though some mobs copy anything . It would be good if the exhaust outlet had the cap removed to show us the turbine .
