[Mr R32 M-Spec]

The NEW Pics are up guys. There are EIGHT OF THEM. Hopefully these will be better then the last and you can get more info from them and will tell more abou the turbo

Ill give u $500 which is the going rate for a second hand T3

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

sorry, I bought it for $1200.00

won't sell and less then $1050, never used since purchase. If I don't get what I want, then why lose all the money? I will just use it myself or a mate has made offers for his 180sx

Is the turbo water and oil cooled, as i could only spot the oil inlet and outlet holes.

If it is only oil cooled, the turbo was originally manufactured for use in truck engines and would slowly disentagrate on a car engine, as it will be over-spinning and getting extremely hot.

How do you know it flows 500hp if you don't have any specs? The AR is 0.5, which is pretty small. My turbo is 0.6 and reportedly good for only 450hp (T04).

Alright guys. Looks like no one wants to pay as much as I am asking for this turbo. I am suffering the consequenes for buying something I knew nothing about.

I am not thinking about upgrading the turbo no this car till next year atleast (paying it off first).

make some offers but I would like to see them on the other side of $600. if out of state you pay the shipping

thanx guys

Not necassarily true, some of the older HKS/Apexi/ Garret turbos do not use water cooled bearings, and all of the Trust range do without it. Admittedly water cooled ball bearing turbos are typically better, but then again a GT3 Porsche is better then my car, but my car still gets the job done.

I think of more importance is if its a plain bush turbo that it has 360 degree thrust bearings and is in good condition.

I think you should spend the $50-80 and pay someone like Precision Turbochargers/GCG/Allied Signal to have a look at the turbo and give you some info to assist ppl when enquiring.

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

Alrighty guys, I am doing a brake upgrade soon as I have discovered I need new discs and want the extra money.

asking price now is HALF of what I paid, so I have learnt my lesson in not to buy stuff you aren't using straight away

asking price is now $600.00

[JimX]

$600 is pretty bloody cheap. Have you considered trying Ebay? I reckon you'd get over $600 for it easy. There's a limited amount of people here who would need a turbo like that for their Skyline, but there's probably a lot more people on Ebay looking for one for their VR4

[nostalgik]

[Cubes]
