For Sale is a Brand New GT42 Turbo. Twin Scroll, Journal Bearing, Inlet a/r .60 Exhaust a/r 1.34. Hot Sides Can Be Swapped With Another One That Will Fit.

i can get it for 500$ been thinking about goin turbo soon and this could be the first piece of the puzzle. i have been looking at a gt3582 but this is dirt cheep.

any suggestions ?

 

If you want spool at 5500rpm go for it. TOO large

 

ya thats what i was thinking but i figured it was worth asking

 

a gt42 is one of the turbo choices for an 1000-1200hp 4 cyl drag car. a gt35 is a much better choice.

 

You should stil buy it. WTF thats a 2500$ turbo.

Just don't use it on your car. Sell it and make a grand or trade it for a 35R

 

your a smart man. i just might do that.

 

It's a no-brainer.

You could probably trade for a 35r + 500 if you found the right person.

 

Do a big build and use it.

 

x2..

 

Flip it for a profit...

 

basically

 

+1 not worthy man other than buy it and sell it again.

 

im going to get ahold of the guy when i get back from pa this weekend. hope he diddnt sell it. this is the turbo ive been looking at do you think it would be a good choice?

i have forged pistons w both coatings .020 over stock bore 9:7.1 comp, arp headstuds, and a mildly ported head. lots of
other stuff to but they dont really matter if i go turbo so not worth listing. im looking to get
around 500hp give or take. any suggestions on the turbo i should get are appreciated.

 

T3/T4 60-1 will get you there too. They are only about 700 new compared with a 35r which is around 1500.

 

^^^that turbo will do just fine...

 

right on! thanks man.

how about this one? still to big? its a precision turbo/ journal bearing. do i not want a journal bearing.. ball bearing better? man looks like i got alot to learn before i start buying parts lol.

ball bearing turbo will spool faster...that one looks to be a decent one for what ur looking for...

 

well i found a turbonetics t3/4 60-1 $850 new +$350 for the ballbearing one. so thats about the same price as the gt3582r (1280$new). hmm decisions decisions.

how much faster will the ballbearing turbo spool? is it worth the xtra $?

 

What you really need to do is go to Garrett Turbo's site and do all the math to figure out where you want to be with your goals and then plot them on the compressor maps.

From the preliminary info you provided though, here is my thoughts. Borg Warner S256 extended tip, if you are looking for an oil only turbo, GT3071R if you are looking for a water cooled BB turbo. The 3071R spools a few hundred rpms sooner, but the S256 shines with more power per psi up top. I suggest the .55 A/R on the BW and the .63A/R on the 3071R.

 

cool thanks. goin to check out garrets site now. looked at the s256 looks like a real nice turbo. extremepsi has it for 1200$ gonna look around and try to find it cheaper
