we are also thinking of puttin a cam or cam's and betta pistons to but we read that the T70 spool up fast.

This T70 turbo was a kit for a CA18 and came with T70 turbo, exturnal wastegate, Stanless Manifold, all the gastet's and golts and a b.o.v.

Alex.

Yep and plus this kit is cheap. Check it out on eBay. I had a look at buying this kit and I learnt a few things. First off all its not a Garrett T70. Look at its specs and try to match it the proper garrett T70. Nothing matches nor does it to any other genuine turbo. Secondly, the manifold, BOV and wastegate are all imitations of the HKS material. Dont expect to get anything like you saw in the eBay pic as it simply wont be the case. I always go by the moto "if its to good to be true... then it's probably too good to be true". I know of someone who has bought that mock-up T70 turbo and it lasted 2 months.

If you were to get a genuine T70 from garrett, it would be no good on a CA nor a SR or RB20.

Im scoping out the extra cash to get a proper GT30 and tial wastegate as I almost got bitten for that kit.

You have be warned!

Best of luck in making your decision and if you do buy it, let me know how it goes.

"If thats the case, you're going to have more than a CA18 or SR20 to get anywhere near spooling it up."

Really? I know one person that built a Sierra Cosworth 2 litre engine with a Garrett T76, and it made full boost at 5500rpm with a power band from 5500-10,000rpm. Went like the clappers.... and was a very fun car!

Dont forget, people put T88-34d's and HKS T51R SPL's on SR20's and occasionally CA18s as well!

People have had compressor housings on these split in half. They are cheap China made rubbish. Be careful if you’re going to buy a kit.

They are pretty big in the states, some have no problems, and some have all the said problems. I guess you get what you pay for.

As 180bfj20det said :

First off all its not a Garrett T70
I had a T8834D on a 13BT and thats only 1.3L.. meh.

Yer, but rotary engines flow a HEAP more exhaust gas then a piston motor from my beliefs....hence why they run big exhaust housings...cos they can get those big turbos spooling...unlike a ca18 or sr20.

I have heard of an sr20 with a HKS 3037, but it needed a 9,000 rpm limit to get the most out of the turbo....ie a very high rpm drift machine

Ah no that's not actually correct. The 13B is a 6 cylinder 3.9 litre engine and as such has about as much exhaust gas flow as it should. The 1.3 litre is using Mazdas measurements which are factually incorrect. As evidenced by the amount of fuel and air the engine consumes. Consequently it is pretty unrealistic to compare a turbo off a 1.8 or 2 litre with one off a 3.9 litre.:(

That would make sense to me....ive only always hear of rotary engines as mentioned above when regarding their size.....

 

So what are they normally rego'ed as? 4cyl?

In the "Number of Cylinders" box it used to say "N/A", don't know what they use now.:(

They are a 4 cyld but in its own class if ya get me.

alex

Ok, I give up, how do you get 4 cylinders?

My thinking is, they have 2 chambers with 1 rotor in each chamber and each rotor has 3 sides. So it's either 2 cylinder (meaning 1 chamber = 1 cylinder) or its 6 cylinder (meaning 3 rotor sides X 2 rotors).

Personally I reckon it's 6 cylinder.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
