hey guys, well i blew my turbo due to oil starvation, used too small of an oil restrictor, 0.040 on a non ball-bearing. So i took it to a shop and they said its not worth rebuilding cause the only thing that they can save is the housings, the wheels are both messed up. So the turbo was Garrett T31/T04B "60-1" Stage 3 Turbine (75 trim), 0.70 Comp A/R, 60 Comp Trim, 0.63 Turbine A/R. Now im thinking of going non-ball bearing again, im shootin for MAX of 420whp, the car is daily driven.

oh ya my hot side is turbonetics, i bought the turbo from blaastperformance, and i had to rebuild it right after i bought it, the wheel wouldnt spin freely, i was NOT happy at all with the service or the product. It looked like it was slapped together.

Anyways my exhaust housing looks like this, and my downpipe is made to fit this, so im hoping to get the same type turbo, or is this gonna be very unlikely?

 

Could you point out what "this" and "this" are in your enclosed photo. It is confusing and vague.

 

hey sorry, im pointing out that my downpipe is 5 bolt, like the housing on the left. Its a Turbonetics exhaust housing with 5 bolt downpipe. I would like to get a turbo that has this also, so i dont have to cut and re-weld a new downpipe flange.

 

you have a PM!!!!

 

PMed back

I was browsing through sponsor's marketplace and found these turbo's for sale, which best suits my needs?

466159-5004 - T3/T4 - AR .63 - 60 Trim

466159-5003 - T3/T4 - AR .63 - 57 Trim

466159-5005 - T3/T4 - AR .48 - 57 Trim

T3/T4 AR .48 5-bolt 50 Trim

T3t4 AR .63 4-bolt 50 trim

T360-1 .63AR t04s

T3 super 60 5bolt discharge

 

Are you trying to make 420whp on pump gas?? That's going to be a big deciding factor in this...

 

i was also unhappy with the last rebuild that blaast did for me, similar problems with it just not seeming right.

Turbo lasted 200 miles.

 

TURBONETICS they all come with a no question lifetime warranty. I run a t3/t4 .48 trim stage 2 ceramic ball bearing turbonetics turbo. No problems from it yet,but you gotta love tht warranty

I hate to sound like this, but the reason why there's no questions asked is because you'll be sending it in constantly. In addition, Ceramic ball-bearings tend to disintegrate over time. That's one of the reasons why other turbo companies stopped using them by about 1996. They were big in the 80s, though.

Now the larger units over 76mm are a bit of better quality.

 

yes 420whp on 94 octane pump gas.
