I stumbled across t3/ t4 turbocharger (garrett comp housing) on ebay that i ended up buying for pretty cheap.It caught my intrest because of the housing sizes which seemed spot on for my needs, so i couldn't resist. it has been rebuilt with a .5 garrett comp housing. the rear seems to be some generic t3 .82 with a 5 bolt dump. The previous owner didnt know much about it, wheel trims ext. I pulled the housing off and measured the inducer and exducer of both wheels. If someone could teel me what this combination is, or what power it is good for i would be fantastic. it wiil be goin on an internally stock rb25 (if i use it), std manifold with a tial 44mm gate welded to it.my aim is for 260kw and up. do you thing this turbo would be suitible, boost response ect, mainly going to be used as drift car. aprox wheel measurements are:

comp side, inducer 48.29 mm exducer 70mm

Turbine side exducer 48mm inducer 58mm. Wich equals a 47 trim and 68 trim if i calculated correctly, which seems very small. i have attached some photos so you can see the wheel designs and housings. Any info would be very helpful. cheers guys.

p.s dont flame me because it old technology dinasure turbo, some combinations have been very successful in the past.

Lol, people that browse this site never learn.

Then they come here wanting power figures.

Put the f**king thing on and find out? Do we look like we have a crystal ball specialized in telling power figures on piece of shit eBay turbos?

was waitng for your post same shit on evry t3/ t4 topic i have read. Yes you can tell how much power a turbo can make , including it response(to an extent) by comparing its wheel diameters and shape to proven combinations. If u dont have anything constructive to say f**k from hear. by the way Ebay is a maket place they dont build turbos you dick.

Shows your intelligence. So what are you going to do if it only makes 200hp?

I ask again, why the hell would you buy a turbo if you've got no idea what it is capable of? You just bought it because it was a turbo? I didn't even read the specs and I can see an issue already with a to4 whatever the hell random ass front wheel crammed into a 0.5 cover. You know there are about 30 different kinds of to4 wheels right? T3/t4 means jack shit I'm afraid. Its probably still some Chinese shit.

If it doesn't fail, when it makes well below your dream target, let me guess, it's going to be the tuners fault?

I REFUSE to tune anything with an unknown turbo on it. Especially if I has come from eBay - the place where it's easy to take money from the uneducated.

my point exactly you dint even read the specs, and quick to jump to the conclusion its junk. and yes i do know there are many t04 wheels, thats why i posted it up in the first place , to see if anyone could identify it. End of the day i bought cheap and could get rid of it for the same price, if it useless on a 25.

He will take it off and replace it with a new t04e or better yer a kando turbo (another ebay turbo for the uneducated). A cut and shut on his dump and the rest of the described setup (gate off the manifold) will work a treat.

Actually I think this could be interesting, yet I think the 50 trim would be better. AND I think we can calm down a little as its not like he has come with his hands empty.. We know its a T04E based turbo and we know what the inducer and exducers are. With a little effort it could be easily identified and SOMEBODY is bound to know what that particular item is capable of OR atleast know to say its not good or unknown.

OP if you really want a solid 260kw from the described setup please read this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/347726-kando-dynamics-turbo/page__st__1380__gopid__6155230#entry6155230

And consider this turbo:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbocharger-Kinugawa-TD06SL2-20G-w-T3-V-Band-Housing-10cm-/280776600350?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415f96eb1e

By the end of next week the results for that particular turbo will be up, it will honestly be a safer bet than your unknown T04E... But there is nothing wrong with an old T04 in my eyes, yanks pull it off in a big way even today.

Most off the shelf turbo kits out of the US encompass a T3/T4 T04E type turbo.

Goodluck.

nothing wrong with some ebay turbos (kando) they make good numbers. i agree the t04e is no good its old tech and will proberly be cheaply built but then again slap that bitch on there and see what you get push 18 pound though it and you may get close but mega lag

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
