do yourself a favor and use thicker gasket for the turbo. You will know why if you use the one that came with the turbo

 

its a t3 anyway.... im using a t4 hot side.

 

to add

I heard from a direct importer
thats it takes forever to get warranty work in Brazil if ever
and they do not want to export rebuilt kits (yet)

 

either way, get a multilayer gasket.

 

If I ever have to rebuild the turbo, I rather just buy another one. Either that or upgrade to BB with another brand.

 

wow so its safe to run stock primaries? i assume u use the tial wg?

 

hks standard. and the 550's are fine. Infact, the 1600's if not tuned flood the motor as it it.

 

Jarred, it's a T3 hotside? are you absolutely SURE it's a T3? Can you post pictures of t he exhaust side??? If it's a T3, the it's not usable with what you are wanting to do.

its still a ptrim. it just has a t3 flanged hot side. i dont see why it wouldnt work if its still ptrim.

807347 Turbine Wheel TO4”P” Trim 64.5mm / 2.53” (Ind. 2.539”. May. 2.913”)
807408 Compressor Wheel TO4P 69.11mm / 2.72” (Ind. 2.721” May. 3.582”)
806105 Turbine Housing A/R .70 NB040
807179 Compressor Housing .70 TO4E NB012B

 

T3 is the size of the flange. The exhaust wheel is still a p trim. The only problem I see there, is getting a t3 manifold for an fc. T3 is quite a bit smaller than t4, not to mention divided. I dont know why master power only goes up to 69 a/r for the exhaust side. If you want a t4 you are gunna have to get it from turbonetics or from garret.

 

good deal.. i was worried for a little bit.

i have a 1.15 housing p-trim already.. i just need to change them over.

 

Im a direct importer from masterpower and its no problem with warrenty work. that is looked after by the local dealer. master power have no problem sending rebuild kits or custom spec turbos.
for instance i order my t70 with ethier .68 .7 .84 or 1.00ar turbine housing. no problems what so ever.

 

High temp RTV works a treat with those gaskets

 

Not to mention that I wouldnt put rtv with anything that has to deal with exhaust temps... but if a minor exhaust leak, burns through the metal gaskets, what do you think will happen to rtv?

 

So how's this turbo treating you guy's?

 

if you need one, you've got a warped flange.

 

I have heard nothing but good things about these turbos for quite some time now. And the prices are really good.

Oliver, you're still selling these out of your shop right?

i have had mine for months now. i love it. fast spool and the power comes on HARD. cant beat the price either.

 

At what RPM are you seeing full boost? Also, what is full boost for you? And what kind of porting is done to your motor?

Zach

 

Yes I would also like to know the answers of the questions above and the A/R on your specific turbo.

 

I'm buying mine this week, but with the .68 hot side. I want that thing to start spooling at 1500 RPM

 

That turbine is called a European TO-4. It's pretty common overthere. I've seen them mainly on trucks(Mercedez).

 

Is a very good turbo. very tough, current high for me is 21psi. going up to 25psi very soon.

 

Just bought a new one on ebay for $550 the guy's from miami so I hope I can save the 35 on shipping.

 

i got a 1.0 a/r t4 flanged hotside from a local turbo shop and it fit right on there.

i have a stock port s4 and it has some lag but i can live with it.
