hey guys was flicking through ebay pages and came across these gt35r style turbo's from PCP from the info i have gathered it seems like they are a copy size wise and should do the same as 35r but for under 800 bucks am willing to give it a shot, anybody seen or heard of these before the more info/opinoinsthebetter for determining if i proceed with the buy or not

its 70ar and 63 ar rear internal gate

Its a gamble, but not really a cheap one, they dont have any warranty, so if it dies in 2 weeks, you are $800 down. If you have that sort of money to spend, i would get a holset hx35 and get it rebuilt, should be around $800

Yeah there's a warranty, but it's crap:

*3 month warranty commences from the date the item is posted.

*Any faulty item must be returned (at customer’s expense) to PCPA. If a new item is sent, customer must pay for return postage.

*Must report any manufacture faults with-in 3 days of when the item is delivered.

*Other than the faulty part, we do not take any responsibility for damages to other parts which may have been damaged.

*Warranty is only valid by a professional mechanic which has expertise in the field in which the car part is used for. A tax invoice also must be provided to give proof of the fitting.

*Warranty is void if the item is used for any type of racing or illegal street driving.

*Warranty is void if the item is altered in anyway.

*Warranty is void if any attempt has been made to repair a faulty item.

What a load of toss.......

Well i see some problems here, apart from the fact its a ebay turbo

1. GT35 'style' does not mean GT35 performance... if anything it wont be close in terms of outright power, response, possible surge issues

2. If its indeed a 700HP comp wheel like a true GT35... then a .63 is the WRONG choice. GT35 and .63 internal gates do not mix.

3. #2 leads me to believe you have not dont turbocharge homework with regards to the housing choices/gate setup

and ye, the fact its ebay, bush bearing

As for the others talking about warranty, its performance. There is no warranty.

Just look @ Garrett's warranty as an example... there might as well not be one

This is the reason I went with Per4manz, their warranty is, "All of our units are backed by a written Warranty for a period of 12 months, 20,000km, 500 hours for new units & 6 months, 10,000km 250 hours for reconditioned units."

4 years old, 28psi, and still going strong. Gotta love it!

^ ye no.

It would still be a conditional warranty, same as Garrett's.

There is no way it would be open ended, there would be more too it

The only thing Grant stipulated with mine was that I was not to exceed the maximum boost level of the unit.

im guessing you have had past experience with .63 housing and internal gate then. if i get a real 35r then it will be .63 housing as i want a really responsive set-up unlike making a cup of tea whilst waiting for it to reach boost threshhold lol. engine 26/30, should be on pretty early hopefully 3200rpm.

but yea, this turbo wasn't too sure about hence the topic. if you have any past history would be very keen to hear about it.

cheers

why not get a .82 3076R. why get a 3582R and put such a tiny housing on it?

You should go and read the full version :)

How is there a maximum boost level anyhow, every motor is different therefore moving efficiencies across the map

Not personally - but the sheer amount of users posting info is all i need.

I toyed with the smaller frame GT30, T04e etc on various motors.

If you want responsive and its on a 26/30, you are kidding yourself to run a .63 :)

Get a smaller turbo comp wheel if you want response, not a smaller rear housing (in this instance)... more reading the RB30 hybrid dyno thread :)

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
