Hey guys,

Quick qustion as I know nothing about turbos...

I want a new turbo that is suitable for the street ie not a lag monster...the car doesn't need too much power, am after about 220-240rwkw.

So since i know nothing about compressor housing sizes etc I was wondering if a turbo with the same specs as this would be alright on a highmount manifold for what I want:

Turbo

Cheers,

Clakka

The different turbos used are listed but I want to know if the specs of the one I listed are any good...

Cheers mate...wasn't interested in buying this one was just curious whether the specs of it would be acceptable...I was looking at a hi-flowed but for the $1800 or whatever they are it isn't worth it for me am looking for something a bit cheaper

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
