i just called up a few junkyards in search for a turbo (just the turbine), only one place had one and he was asking 250 for it. does anyone know how much a junk turbo goes for? if this is in the wrong section let me know, i didnt know where to post this, so sorry in advance if it is.

 

I picked my t3 up for $50.00

 

Pull-A-Part charges $48 for a turbocharger, no matter the size or condition. Most other yards around my area try to skin you for about $250...which is ludicris in my opinion for a used OEM turbo.

 

you can get a T3 off a saab for about 60 bucks around here

 

i can get them for about 25 at the junk yard down the road.ive bought 2 and sold both

 

i picked one up from a 93 eclipse for 75 bucks, i overpaid obviously, sucks. anyone know i they are any good?

could you get me one? ill pay you via paypal or if you're local i can just go pick them up and give you the cash.

 

One piece of advice I awlays tell people after my experiences with building custom turbo kits is to not cheap out on the turbcharger. There is nothign more frustrating then piecing together your whole kit, bolting it on, getting all excited and finding out your internal turbo seals are blown to ****. I went threw 3junkyard turbos before I finally decided to bite the bullet and by nice T3 from a friend who was upgrading.

if the internals are bad, is there any way to repair them or is the turbo trash?

 

Yes. If it's just the seals it is an easy rebuild. I recommend taking it some place or sending it out, but people do try and do it themselves. If I paid under 75bucks for a turbo, the first thing I would do is get it rebuilt. That's just me though.

 

there are rebuild kits available online for about 100 bux. The part that is specialize is the balancing of the shaft (assuming the shaft is still good).

i got mine out of a saab for 50$. im considering replacing the seals.

 

well im junking the eclipse turbo, too much custom fabrication involved to just slap on that small thing, so im in search of a t3, if anyone knows of a junkyard or someone in their area selling one for cheap, let me know please!

 

i am running a junkyard T3, got it for $50, freshly rebuilt from a friend

 

My local junkyard sells turbos for 50
For the prices your junkyard are asking you may aswell buy new.
Its the damn Miamians... crooks. lol
I grew up down South Fl so I can say stuff like that.

 

yeah its an *** raping anywhere in miami. if you could pick one up for me and ship it here ill pay you for the turbo, shipping, and like 15 bucks for doing me the favor. anyone?

 

My local yard has about 3 Saab t3 turbos right now. I have been ignoring them recently though cause they look kinds old.
I dont know for sure their condition though

I assumem by your name you have a lude right? I dont know how those t25's work on your size car, probably too small. I have one on my d16 and its great.

Next time i'm at the yard i'll look closer at those t3's

 

i got a working t3-t03 hybird

worked fine but has some shaftplay.

185 shipped

If you yank out a turbo from a car of the same size you should be straight.

The problem is most cars that have the same size motor as our cars dont rev to 8krpms.

Yeah, good catch. That was my assumption.

But then again, most cars use T3's... There should be some confidence that it would work for your application with that in mind.
