id say no looks nothing like my old t4 the rs500 t4 has a bold on front pipe flange

 

Ex housing is different.

Not like that square fitting etc...

More rounde on the normal housing.

 

 

here my old one

 

you can see where the ex bolts on,more rounded.

 

also dave the exhaust housing is nearly as big as the compressor housing

 

on your one Gus or the for sale one,lol.

 

on my old one A PROPPER one

 

lol, you are saying that as if i have a blag one.

 

no you fool i mean the ebay is a fake

 

It also looks set up for a 4x4 exhaust manifold!! the exhaust housing looks like it needs the clamp for the exhaust which is not always a bad thing!!

 

Ahhh!

lol.

 

I made the mistake of buying a T4 off E-bay, only to find out it wasn't a genuine RS500 one, but a T4 of something totally different..... Never Did find out what though.

In the end, I ended up exchanging it against my T38 (best thing I ever did). For some reason (Specification) the T4 just never spooled up as soon as it should have done. Karl was totally lost as to why it wouldn't spool up as quick as all the other T4 conversions, but there are quite a few versions of the T4 available, and don't just assume that all T4'S are the same... They're not, as I found out to my expence. Impellors can be different, Shaft Size Can be Different, Get it checked out by one of the Turbo Guys before you spend all your hard earned money on it.

 

@ Jim

 

It is a Garrett T4, no doubt about that. But..... a T4 off what... Cummins Diesel, Paxman Generator...... almost anything, and unfortunately, they're all a slightly different mix-match of parts.

Maybe it's just the photo's, but that looks a huge exhaust housing on it...... and why would you have cut back blades on a T4 Cossie Turbo. They spool up slowly enough as it it, so why make it worse by cutting back the blades. (Obviously assuming it's been built up for a cossie engine with about 400 - 500bhp, and not some whacko engine). Shame the guy dosen't give the full specification... Ie Exhaust Housing Size, Impellor Size/Part Number. At the price it is now, it would be a bargain...... IF IT'S THE RIGHT SPEC......

It also states it's been built up for a Cosworth Engine...... WHAT SPEC COSWORTH ENGINE ???? 8000rpm Drag Car Engine, with no power below 6000rpm, We could go on for ever on this one.................

 

it has got a nipple for the actuator though,the diesel ones don't have them.

 

Well spotted Dave........ So, it's off a petrol engine

Next Clue Please.......I'm bored.

 

mine if its any help??

 

it looks like the 1 of the stolen turbos from bentley that are going around there was a massive blitz on someone stealing the turbos and puttin them up on ebay

 

Are these bentley turbos like T3's and not T4's.

they are twin turbos too arn't they.

 

The nut on the shaft is different on the diesel ones, think they are tri-angular shaped nuts on the thread.

or some other shape,but different than the petrol models.

 

an rs500 T4 isn't a real t4 anyway, they use a T3 style exh hsg.(hence why they fit 2/4wd manifolds.

 

hi lads

its true t4's have 3 different size pennies in them this can effect spool up and top end power its better to buy them from a reputable dealer, then you know what your getting must admit for response / power i would go for a gt turbo but if you want it bomb proof i would go for a t4 everytime
