Is this turbo any good? R33

[Guest Robo's]

Guys, im new to turbos, but looking at this turbo, its sounds ok, bolts to a T3, the compressor wheels aint too big for lag. What do you guys think??

i'm interested too... that's what i'd like in place of my turbo...

only has 0.50 comp wheel, it wont flow 500hp.

I personally would never buy something like that from ebay, coz who knows what will arrive afte you pay for it!

here is a link to the ray hall turbo site, which has a compressor map for the to4e 57T compressor, as you will see, it just isnt capable of producing 500bhp, let alone whp, more like 350-400bhp before it is well out of its efficiency range or running high boost.

Doesn't look internally gated either. So you'll be up for for more $$ for the external gate and manifold

Same comments as Jay95r33

You see these type of ads on US ebay all the time

The turbo's don't have a brand name like Garret etc.

They look like a cheaper rip off

Even the ad looks like a copy and paste from ebay.com.

If you new to turbo's

have a read of this

then find a work shop you can work with its not as easy as bolting a turbo on and off you go

dude,

the wheel specs of the turbo plus the fact that it's running a A/R .63 exhaust housing definitely will not allow it to flow 530hp.

Steve,

also, the comp map on Ray hall's page shows that it would flow the 35-40lb/min worth of air with a larger A/R comp housing given the slant of the efficiency island.

with the A./R .50 on this one, it would be more efficient at higher boost but it will probably only flow up to 30lb/min which would equate to ~300bhp.

[Steve]

didnt even see the AR size on the ray hall site, just saw the map and realised the e-bay site was completely full of shit:)

where does it specify AR?

[RS500]

Steve,

it doesn't mention anything about the A/R of the comp housing, but i am assuming it's a larger on by the shape of the flow map.

also,

T04E turbos come standard with A/R .70 comp housings.

I could be wrong, but that's what i think.

[Steve]

no probs, 0.7 seems a bit big for a 400hp turbo though?
