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...

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

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:

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
