I just purchased this turbo not but a couple weeks ago and am the third owner. The first and ONLY user of this turbo (or so I was told) was Tony from T1 Development. Previous owner said Tony guaranteed the turbo was totally usable and didn't leak/smoke. Well, since I have a totally new D-series build my thought was to rebuild this turbo is make it run like new. Well, after receiving the turbo and inspecting it I've decided this turbo is a tad larger than I thought and would better suit a B-series to be honest.

Anyhow, while the turbo was in transit I purchased a T60-1 rebuild kit from eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Repai...%3A1318)...yes, a upgrade kit too with a 360 degree journal bearing. It got this kit not but two days ago and decided everything needs to go for another, smaller turbo. Kit hasn't even been opened.

Here's what you came to see, the pics! If you like what you see LMK and I can send detailed pics that include the measurements of the inducers/exducers.

 

Post for more pics and more details. No stripped threads or studs broken off. Both wheels are flawless! What you might think are cracks in the compressor housing on the inlet are just light surface scratches. I am including the old bolts, bearings, clips, etc just for the heck of it too.

Here's a link to the turbo's descriptions per Turbonetic's website : http://www.turboneticsinc.com/produc...category_id=89

Now for the additional pics!

 

What the heck, I'll just post ALL the pics for your viewing pleasure!

 

Oh, and yes Tony had the I/C piping welded onto the compressor inlet and the beads are awesome of course. I was just going to weld a bead onto the extended tip and let it be...but I'll leave that up to you all.

More pics, hooray!

 

Water-cooled CHRA too guys!

 

bump for the most detailed FS ad ever lol

 

Thanks bro! I've got nothing to hide...laying it all out there with mega-loads of pics. LOL

 

Bumpo!

 

Midnight bump!

Some helpful info about the turbo itself :

T04B 60-1 and the 60-1 are the same thing. The 60-1 has several names that people know it for. Like, the "60-1", "T04B 60-1", "T60-1", "T60", "T04S" etc. Why? I don't know. The 60-1 and 62-1 are Garrett wheels (some will say turbonetics exclusive, but their WRONG. I can get this wheel direct from Garrett and it has the same part number) and are there own breed of wheels although their listed in the T04B compressor series. They differ from T04B compressors because not only are they larger, but they run a 7 paired inducer blade set (T04B have a 8 paired inducer blade set up) and have a more effecient and modern blade design parralleling the T04E series. But unlike the T04E series which have 6 paired inducer blades. Also like the T04E the 60-1 AND 62-1 have back sweept blades. So their there own series essentually. When you order a turbo, just ask for the "60-1" (part number 20177) wheel. Your turbo supplier should know what this is. You can be more specific and spec it out at 2.324" inducer and 3.000" exducer. That way theres no mistaking what wheel you want. For max power and flow go with the T04S compressor housing in a .7 A/R. If you have space contraints you can go with the HiFi compressor cover in a .6 A/R. Its phsically smaller. You MUST spec a 60-1 HiFi compressor wheel (part number 20230) if you want the smaller HiFi compressor housing. The HiFi flows less then the T04S housing. It will have a slightly more linear boost response though.

The big shaft option is just that, a bigger shaft. It uses a bigger turbine shaft and appropriet bearings etc. Your TS04 should be a big shaft (the "big shaft option" is standard on the "T Series" turbos of which a TS04 is ). For the T04S and your power goals a big shaft option isn't needed. You wont be running extreme loads on the turbo, besides if you run extreme boost (over 17 psi) on the T04S you'd be out of the effiency range anyway. So its a option you won't be needing and it is a EXPENSIVE option. You could always go for the option if you wish, as it makes a overall more robust turbo. I don't know if you thought of this or not, but you can always just put a 60-1 wheel in your TS04 turbo and have the housing machined. In the end though, it may cost nearly as much as buying a new T04S, but still be a little cheaper depending on the options the TS04 has.

If the standard is a 4" inlet and 2.5" disscharge its the .7 A/R. The smaller HiFi and standard T04B is 2.75" (sometimes 3") inlet and 2" disscharge. Get the 4" inlet. You need to TALK with your turbo supplier instead of trying to figure out things by reading online catalogs. Just call them and give the the specifics You already listed and what I gave you. Remeber, T04S compressor housing, 4" inlet, 2.5" disscharge in a .7 A/R.

 

Is no one going F/I anymore? LOL

 

Post-date bump!

 

Pre-date bump!

 

bump for you

 

^Thanks, I guess people are looking. LOL

 

Bumping for the F of it.

 

so will the turbo be re assembled or will i have to do it if i buy it? cuz im not a pro at pulling turbos apart or putting back together and also how much hp will this turbo support?

 

PM'd!

 

^^^this.

 

Guys, I hope that you all have done some research and realize a GOOD rebuild includes having the shaft/wheels balance too...right? That service is not being provided here and wouldn't feel right assembling it and then to have you turn right around to dismantle to send the shaft/wheels out for a balance. Make sense?

I hope that answer your question.
