Turbo Assembly Question.

[Daboss]

Hey there forum what's up? I need an answer to a few turbo assembly questions. All help is appreciated.

I need to know what all is involved and how do you match up a turbine housing. I have the opportunity of getting a turbo that has no turbine housing and I am very interested just need to know what all I need to assembly the rear.

The owner has no idea and says all he knows is that the rear is a T4 ptrim and the turbo has no identifying numbers. How would I know what rear to get? The turbo is also a ball bearing turbo. Now my dilemma is a have a turbine housing sitting around and wanted to know if it will fit a t4 ptrim turbine wheel. The number on the housing is 410401-0036.

Can this housing be used with that turbo and also what else is needed in order to assemble the turbine of the turbo? Do I need a plate for the rear of the turbo to attach to the turbine housing? I am lost when it comes to this and would like some assistance please.

it sounds like you are buying someone else's problem or mistake

why not just buy an off the shelf unit that works and has a proven setup?

What you need is the correct housing for the turbo.

Without knowing what rear wheel is on it, its not going to be an easy task.

Either way its an old donkey tech turbo to begin with by the sound of it

I have a turbo setup on my car already and was just buying this as an experiment as it is dirt cheap and I had a rear housing just lying around and wanted to know if it will fit and work.

Ok all the specs he has on the turbo according to him are its a garret ball bearing turbo, Comp side: 67mm inducer, 82mm exducer, Turbine side: t4 ptrim thats all the info on the turbine side, the rear housing I have is a garret 1.00 t4 divided housing with the numbers in the first post and I was just wondering if it will fit and what the turbo will produce as an experiment and what spool would be like. I was thinking it would be ok as it is ball bearing and the comp wheel has the same specs as 35r just the inducer size is a bit bigger so it should flow more and I was thinking it would have the same spool.

What I wanted to know is how does the turbine attach to the housing is there a backing plate or clamp that I would need to buy in order to attach them? Pics of turbo are attached.

You need to get it machined to suit. Very tinny chance to find one that suits your heat shield, bearing housing, and turbine wheel in the preferred A/R size.

ahh... no.

If you go larger comp, it will take longer. Simple as that.

IMO with a T4 1.00 housing, with a large front side - it'll be laggy as all shit, especially on a 2.5ltr.

Poor choice/combo. But then you've gone the cheap option a few times now ... Buy a decent turbo once and be done with it!

Can I ask, why do you keep posting about random truck junk yard turbos?

Do you realize you can get a brand new or highflowed turbo that is proven to work the tune of $1000? The work/effort/money involved in fitting these random turbos will far exceed the benefit you will see.

Please begin to reconsider your options, this site has a million and one to offer.

Thanks for the response! That is half of what I wanted to know, how it would spool and what power figure it might make. I still do not know if the rear housing I have in the shed will fit it cause if it is a simple bolt on case, I could still acquire it put it together and pass it on to someone with bigger displacement.

I have decent turbos, the gt35r and hx40, and if you remember from a previous post I had bought the wrong housing for the 35r and since I had a brand new housing sitting around doing nothing I just wanted to know if the housing would simply work and if it was a bolt-on case. Just was doing this as an experiment and wanted you guys opinions on what kind of power and spool time a turbo like this would have on a rb25det. My car is up and running fine with the hx40 just in the tuning process.

Sure you can ask and of course I realize I can get a brand new turbo to meet my rwkw goal for $1500 plus. The answer to your question is,... to learn, If you read my first post you would see why I am posting about this random turbo, to reiterate it I came across this turbo for a dirt cheap price without a rear housing. I had a rear housing that I had bought previously just collecting dust and was wondering if that housing would fit this turbo and if it was worth the time. The only info I had on it was that it is a t4 ptrim rear and wanted to know if anyone knew if the housing I have sitting up would just simply bolt on to this turbo and the spool time and rwkw it would produce.
