What do you guys think about this t04 airesearch
Hey guys, I just picked up a turbo for my 87 tii and wanted to get your opinion on it befor installing it.
It is an AIresearch fatory rebuild with 0 miles on it. and here are the specs.
factory rebuilt TO4, it is oil cooled, 1.75 AR hot side, P Trim, V Band - super 60 cold side.
Ive been told that the hot side is going to be alittle big, for a street car. My car is not a daily drive but I do injoy driving it on the street and the track. And I would like to have some sort of power from 2-3000 rpm, but Im told this turbos not going to make efficient boost until 4000rpm. Im just wanting to know how you guys think this will perform.
here is a link to some pics.

And ofcourse you will have to know my other mods. So here they are
MICROTECH
FRONTMOUNT
1600cc secondarys
Boost controler
FD fuel pump (but I am shopping for an upgrade.)
And some other nic nacs.

Unfotunaly yes. I haven’t had the good fortune of the stock motor blowing. It just doesn’t feel right to replace a strong motor. But I do see what your saying. That is my next step is to get a street ported motor. How much do you think the turbo is worth if I decide to sell it?

you can buy a turbine housing for ~$100 or so.... i don't think you'd spool that thing before 6k rpm with a 1.75..
maybe bump that down to a .96 or somewhere in that area.

I had one on the supra, you could tell it was a turbo designed for a truck. it needs 22+ psi to be efficient...and it wouldn't even think about breaking vacuum until 3500 rpm. My head and manifolds are ported and polished, compression is 7.5:1, upgraded fuel, intake, exhaust, EBC...
airesearch t04's sell for under $150 all day long. It's really not a bad deal for a rebuilt turbo...as long as you can spool it.
