alright i went and looked at my buddies turbo and snaged pics and checked shaft play. there is very little shaft play at all. just have questions.

1. what exactly model is it? i think its garret t3/t4 hybrid 50 trim
2.what are all the hoses?
3.what type of down pipe will i need?
4.is it internally wastegated?

pics:

 

appears to be internally gated. those hosed already attached are for coolant, the long stainless one is the oil drain.

 

so what lines connect where? and i wouldnt need a wastegate then>? could i control boost with a controller??

 

i'm not familiar with the gate setups on internally wastegated turbos. but the coolant lines you'll connect to the coolant/heater hose lines on your engine. the long steel braided one will go from the turbo to the oil pan. and you can get a galley fitting to put in the rear of the block with a stainless line for the oil feed.


but honestly, if that compressor housing is a .50 a/r i can only imagine how small the turbine housing is. i would keep searching for a better turbo.

 

are the exhaust side dp holes stripped?

 

can you post the numbers off the tag? some of the numbers are hard to make out

 

looks like the dp bolts on, not threaded into the housing.

 

Inventory sheet says Mazda Twin..list 495 LOL.....off an rx7?

 

is that good or what? haha pics are all i have right meow.

 

lol not really personally i wouldn't buy it it looks like junk

TURBO INVENTORY SHEET ( ALL SALES ARE FINAL ))

466135-5

 

no way to tell. looks tiny as hell. but if you want cheap, i guess you found it...

 

.48 compressor housing and .63 turbine. yeah. that MIGHT make 320whp..

 

well its only getting up to 7psi until i do internals. will it be good for what i want? im paying $300 for it

 

lol that 320 number i through out there would be maxed out. 7psi on a turbo that small might actually produce less than a 2.8 m62 setup..

 

The fins look chewed up like bad stocker lol.

 

so your saying bigger turbo? or will this be good enough for my stock internals?

 

your stock internals will be able to hold that just fine. because you won't be making much power.

 

so what psi could i run it up to safely on stock internals/ i meen ill notice a big difference right?

 

are you an lsj or le5?

 

l61 lol

 

i def wouldn't pay 300 for it. i'd tell you to buy an ebay turbo first...worst comes to worst you rebuild an ebay one with Garrett internals..

 

would it be cheaper that way? and how hard is it to do that? i dont wann eff anything up and have my car go boom haha

 

have you thought about an lnf ko4 setup??

i have.. but i thought they werent that big?

 

dayta and glenn from MA both did the ebay thing with garrett internals.....i know a few fast hondas that have ebay turbos here without problems. would i use it on my car no, but looks like you're not gonna be putting down 1.5k for a turbo so..
lnf turbo would be better than that one, elecblue has an lnf setup on his 2.2 or 2.4, i think his is an upgraded wheel though.
