any intrest in a cheap turbo?

[koolZ71]

i have found someone who can get me some brand new in the box garret (sp) t-3 turbo with the wastegate... for 400....if anyones looking for a turbo for a custom job or know a buddy thats looking for em...i just wanted people to know if they were looking

[Craig99SE2]

What A/R ratio on compressor and turbine?
Water-cooled?
New, Used, or Rebuilt?

Do they have access to any T3/T4 Hybrids? Super 60 T3 Compressors?

[koolZ71]

i will get all ur answers tonight

[Craig99SE2]

Thanx! A few more ...

Integral Wastegate?
Ball-Bearing?

OK, that's it ... I swear! :p

I'm guessing for 400 bucks it not ball bearing and its internally wategated ;)

ok... That has nothing to do if its ballbearing or not. My turbo is from Garrett too and it's not ballbearing. I was just pointing out that a ballbearing turbo would go for way more then 400 bucks. Do they even make BB T-3s?

i have no idea..im just the messanger i dont know **** about turbos lol:) im just trying to pass on the savings

[Doug]

thats cool. If you have any questions though feel free to ask :)

[Craig99SE2]

You can get a ball bearing center section for just about any turbo. Yes, they have BB T-3 centers as well. I know Turbonetics has BB options available on ALL of theirs.

BTW, how long does this price last? I do need a hybrid, but it shouldn't cost much more since it is all Garrett parts. I am looking for the following:

- Garrett T3/T4 Hybrid
- T3 Turbine .82 A/R
- T3 Cartridge (water-cooled)
- T4 Compressor "S3 Trim"
- Integral 20 psi wastegate

Let me know if this is do-able and I can have the cash by 2nd week in January.

Thanx!

ok my ? ive found a few t3 turbos i was wondering can i use any turbo for my car i know you would have to do something about the manifold and all the tubing but other than that can you use any type of turbo. i have an se 2.4

[Doug]

For a 2.4L you can't go too big ( not too smal either) . I would stick to a Large T3 or a small hybrid T3/T4.

[darkchylde]

well ive found a gerrit or whatever t3 turbo and my bosses friend is on the engine building team for the bud drag team and he can do about anything, my biggest ? was can it be done with that type of turbo

[Doug]

Yes it can be done with a garrett T3. That is what I have.

[darkchylde]

sorry if im being a pain in the ass but about how much do you think this is going to run me i can get the turbo for 250.

i can get u a plain garret t-3 turbo with wastegate for 400:)...thats brand new in the sealed box and thats dirt cheap

[Doug]

There are also good deals on ebay all the time.

[darkchylde]

any ideas on how much the tubing and everything will cost and can you do something with your stock manifold to make it work or will i have to buy a new one

If you modify the stock manifold it will probably not flow very well at all. YOu can pic up a mani at vizzionpower.com or a turbo header at picracing.com

I have the pic one. Its about 500 bucks
