Item: Garrett T04 Turbo

Age: coupla years?

Condition: perfecto!

Price: $1400 or so

To Fit: any ting from a lawn mower to a garden hose... NO CARS! (I'm kidding)

Location: Sydney (North Shore / Hornsby)

Contact: me, here, PM, thread...

Comments: I have this Garrett T04 up for grabs. I am not up to this stage in my car modifications unfortunately, and I simply can not use it (plus I have another turbo anyway :down:). It has absolutely no shaft play, spins well, nice and clean, looks purdy (?).

I will swap this for a Power FC for a 33 GTS-T S1.5, or perhaps some other items of interest? But a PFC would be just dandy :P

The same turbo is used on a 33 GTS-T in Melbourne, and with supporting mods, is making 350rwkw, and I believe has smashed a number of gearboxes too... It was in the latest HPI 'Skyline Special' magazine. I can get a pic of that if need be :P

PICCIES!

That's something I have to be certain of... Mine is a series 1.5, so yeah... thanks for the confusion Nissan! :D

But don't go anywhere, I'm pretty sure the engines in 1.5s are Series 2 engines...

I'll ask some smart people :)

this mite be a weird question but would this suit a low mount setup ?

You would be cutting it pretty fine to be honest... I would try though, it would be a sweet hidden little monster! :D

The problem is with the exhaust housing... it's rather large and really shows the potential of the turbo, where the compressor side in comparison is tiny... Like I've said already, I would love to use this turbo, but I'm just not up to that stage yet...

Ooooo.. cutting it close ayes....

im just looking for a replacement turbo to replace the stock one, but get a bit of power aswell...

You're best off getting a VG30 turbo (which I also have, but I plan on using for a short while maybe)... This turbo doesn't even have a wastegate...

The VG30 turbo has steel wheels (though I am yet to see an R33 GTS-T turbo that doesn't) and a larger exhaust housing...

Or you can get a miriad of other turbos... hi-flowed GCG one perhaps... the choice is yours :cheers: But this turbo is a mid range (these days) turbo for an external wastegate type set up... Something I hope to achieve one day, if I can ever find a damn ECU I like! :)

the t04 can be set as a low mount the turbo is peak power of 550hp its a t4 flange so it will go on a stock rb20 or 25

Edited by gonzo

Haha, nah, I love it :D

I have to see what mine is running first... It certainly does NOT sound standard, and the PSI and power for a supposedly standard car don't match (178kw and 10psi without any aftermarket boost controlling)... after that, I will make my decision... I am thinking about chucking this in there, getting a new exhaust manifold (have a low mount one for built in wastegate) and a new wastegate, but I'm sure I will need an ECU one of these days, and if I can get that first, I will...

Unless an offer comes up, I will prbably get impatient and throw this on my car :D

Hows your stuff going? :unsure:

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
