Turbo's For All

[The Dan]

Most of you have already read this thread so I'll cut to the chase.

I can get turbo's. Big one's, little one's, any one's yous all wants.

I am able to get almost anything but best prices are from Garrett in the GT range but can get good prices on any other turbos usually.

Do your research! Find the turbo you want and then tell me. I will try to help out as much as I can but I cannot choose for you. I cannot supply fitting kits with oil lines etc. but you can get these from another source. Garrett have a whole range of their turbos which are about to be released with the T3 turbine flange so it will be easier to choose after then.

Highflows : $1200-$1300 depending on condition add $300 for bigger internals including 360 degree thrust bearing.

GT28 (280 HP 0.64 A/R) : $1100

GT28RS (350 HP 0.64, 0.86 A/R) : $1550

GT25/30 : $1900 (still have to confirm upon request)

GT25R (500 HP 0.86 A/R) : $1750

GT30R : $1950

GT35R : $2000

GT40R :$2150

GT42R :$2250

T04B : $2200

T04Z (650 HP) : $1950

GT25/40 (700 HP) : $2100

GT35/40R (700hp )1.06 A/R Internal gate : $2000

*Ball Bearing GTR replacement turbos rated at 350hp each : $1350*

Please let me know if there are any errors that you can see and feel free to ask any questions.

These prices are NOT fitted. This will only put the turbo in your hand, or trailer - depending on how large you go.

great info there..

I need something around the 450hp mark, but at this rate, won't be for a few months

Will this be a regular thing, or just a once off group buy?

[japtaxi]

I need a GT15 with slightly bigger compressor or GT17 with GT15 exhaust housing (3 bolts flange)

[dangerous_daveo]

Do they do anything in the way of rebuilds?

[The Dan]

Predator - This offer is valid pretty much until change professions

JapTaxi - I'll find out for you tomorrow

DangerDave - Yes they do. What did you have in mind? They also have access to state of the art VSR balancing equipment for absolute perfect balancing of shafts.

Whats an RB25 Series 1 high flow going to cost me? Can you give us any pointers towards cars that are using their gear at the mo?

[The Dan]

My Rb20 hiflow cost me $1200 to convert. Should be about the same. But the 25 highflow is really only capable of 300 engine horsepower safely. This means that if you push it to the max, it won't last very long.

You can usually only run around 12-14 psi still safely otherwise they burn out.

On the other point, I found this guy a while back and after the other mob stuffed me around I went back to him. I'll find out whose running his gear and get back to you. He's a nice bloke and always good for free information. He doesn't only specialise in passenger vehicles though. He does a lot of industrial and commercial work also so I dare say there are a few trucks running around with his gear on.

[strutto]

OK thanks champ... Only 300 engine horsepower though?? Doesn't seem right when a GCG is good for 220kw atw...

What would you reccomend for an RB25 that's essentially bolton? I couldnt be arsed with manifolds, ext wastegates, etc...

[Nismo_Boy]

I need a exhaust housing for an unknown size TD06. If I drop it in, can they help?

[The Dan]

My RB20 Hiflow was capable of that horsepower figure.

At 17 PSI I put out 218 RWKW.

That 300 hp is roughly what they are rated to when hiflowed. It doesn't mean they are not capable of 450hp it just means they usually only last 12 months like that.

With your other question, the same turbo I am putting on mine would be a bolt on. It's a ball bearing turbo and rated at 450hp. usually 50hp higher can still be achieved SAFELY though. Plus being a BB turbo it will spool hell quick and will outlast a highflow RB25 turbo anyday, and for roughly the same price maybe a couple hundred more.

[The Dan]

They aren't like your local Autobarn, no disrespect intended.

But....think of this guy as a Turbo Engineer. That's what he is. He doesn't just pick new parts of shelves and tell you what his supplier spun to him last week. He can machine housings, grind shafts, balance shafts, rebuild turbos, supply new ones, measure parts...you get the idea.

He doesn't offer discount to just everyone though. He gives me discount as I am a mechanic and bring business his way. By offering discount here to everyone, I am creating business for him so he gives me good discount - it's a vicious cycle I know. The only way to get cheaper prices would be through me but you are more than welcome to go on your own behalf if that is what you wish. I am by no means forcing anyone to deal through me, but I am interested in offering great deals to people on the forums. I hope this has all made sense.

I need a exhaust housing for an unknown size TD06. If I drop it in, can they help?

[The Dan]

Ok I asked him today about all above questions. The Hi-flowing of the RB25 turbo starts at $1100. He said the prices are hard to be competitive as there are a lot of backyarders doing it for a little cheaper. It also depends on the condition of your existing turbo. If there are oil leaks or damaged shafts it will cost extra.

The GT15/17...he is getting back to me on a price for this one. I didn't manage to call him back after work so I'll find out tomorrow (Friday).

One thing he did mention was that many off the shelf turbos are becoming very hard to get and may take a month or so to get as with some models the suppliers have run out of stock and are waiting on new shipments to arrive.

The exhaust housing for the TD06 - he wants to know what ratio you want to run as there are many different ratios available for the TD06. This turbo comes out on the Canter he told me and there is a wide variety of sizes.

Strutto - He does not know any particular vehicles driving around with his turbos because he supplies to all the local and not so local performance shops. He said that John Schott(sp) of Salisbury buys a great deal through him.

They do fitting and stuff like that also but his customer base is really based on supply most of the time.

[japtaxi]

thanks for that, keep us updated when you find out more ...

[dangerous_daveo]

Id be guessing a hiflow of an RB20 turbo would be much the same?

So going by what you got, what would be about the same as a hiflowed RB20 turbo in terms of price and power? Bolt on as well, preferably with the least amount of hassels in chaning lines etc.

Its not anywhere near urgent tho.

[The Dan]

Well there is another ball bearing turbo which is the model beneath mine. Is rated to 350hp and I think it was $1300 or so. I'll have to confirm.

[strutto]

Thanks Dan... Great stuff... What sort of mods did you need to fit yours?

[The Dan]

Well, I haven't picked it up yet but tomorrow should be the day.

He told me it should bolt straight up but he won't know for sure until it arrives.

It's not an off the shelf jobby, it's a custom made turbo from Garrett. If it doesn't bolt up straight off then he can make any mods so that it does. As for the flanges, they should be all the same. I think the only difference might be the oil feed line. Mine has been threaded instead of the standard 2 bolt flange.

[Gary1]

Can you PM me a price for a Garrett GT35R turbo please as i am just about to but one...

Cheers

Gary

[The Dan]
