i mentioned to the guy saying the compressor housing is no way big enough to be a t34,..

he says it is

please bombard this monkey with emails, saying it isnt, as he is RIPPING people off that dont know the difference,..

Well Carl... all I can suggest is that you stick to something you're good at which could be... speaking BOLLOCKS! Rather than thinking or suggesting that you know ANYTHING about performance tuning.

You're right in thinking that the item you sold was in fact a T34 turbocharger. The item you are questioning us about is ALSO a T34 turbocharger. You see... the internals of the two units (bar yours having a 360-degree bearing) are EXACTLY the same. And yes... you can measure correctly (thank the days you spent measuring the dick on your forehead for that)... and yes the two units are different in size. Now... the reason behind this is SOLELY due to the difference in size between the turbone/compressor housings. The size of the housings on a turbocharger depicts two things (in simple terms for you)... the rated power output (amount rated flow achievable) and the amount of possible lag as well as the size of trim rotor used.
The bigger the housing, the bigger the trim rotor, the more power it is potentially capable of, but will suffer from more lag. The smaller the housing the less power capability, but less time taken to spool up.

Your turbocharger is EXACTLY the same as ours. Bar the size of the housings. Upon ordering our turbochargers we ask the customers which specific applications the turbocharger will be used with and it is down to that information that depicts the size of the housings needed/advised. For instance the APL525 (in question) is good for 350BHP. Where as our APL240 (also listed) is good for 300BHP, but suffers less lag due to to smaller sized housings and slightly different trim rotor. BOTH are T34 units, just simply different variations. We do a T34 turbocharger that is capable of 700BHP which would dwarf yours. Again, larger trim rotor, massive housings, great power potential but suffers from alot of lag.

I suggest you get your facts straight before being so abruptly rude, or at least look into things before thinking you know it all. Thank christ that you're not in my presence you arrogant twat. Don't want to be hearing from you again. Kyle - Hostyle Performance Tuning.

how can it be a t34..its only a .42 compressor?? Its looks more commercial imo.

 

exactamundo


guys obviously a nob,...
but, for some reason hes adament that hes in the know.....

no you dont.....

 

Ive got a T2 that can do 1100bhp....its currently being used as a paper weight but, its a 1100bhp unit

 

roll up roll up get your rs turbo t3s here basically that is the compressor setup of this unit,thats with looking at the picture anyway. it could have some odd ball cover on and be correct. It then has exhaust housing like cosworths ie .48 or .63. Havnt shaft trims with me at mo so cant compare the one on that unit. Anyone wanting a proper t34 ala escos unit best to buy the real deal to avoid any upsets.

 

Ive messaged him. The front end is in fact std RS turbo - 45 trim! It wiould struggle to do 220hp, never mind 300+

 

rick a t34 is 46 trim

 

Proper t34 is 57trim btw.

 

is it? for sure? so u think it might have a t34 wheel in a t3 cover?

 

that dont look like a stock T3 cover to me...

 

for a start the cover hasnt been tapped for a take off for boost setup so could and probably is commercial derived. Does look rst t3 must admit but to be sure need inducer and exducer sizes.

Remember trim is a ratio between inder and exducer sizes so phisical size of wheel can be much bigger or smaller

 

u can defo get a 57trim t34, i thought that was escort cos size. There are 60 trim and 45 trim uns.

 

escort rst = 45
2wd cos = 55
4x4 = 60
t34 = 46
T4 = 54

Some t04b and to4e units do run a 57 trim wheel

 

I personally wouldnt be questioning danny as he does turbos for a living rick.

 

dan i would question myself lol there is so much knowledge to be learnt on turbos and ive only been involved in em for near on 5 years but ive still ALOT to learn! BUT im right 100% on this one as Garrett T series is the thing i have most of my knoledge in. Always will take it on the chin if im wrong and like to see more ppl take a technical knowledge in them otherwise ppl will get ripped off!, and thats how i originally got into doing em after seeing many ppl pay over the odds for units that have been bullshitted up.

Back onto the unit in question looking at the size of the compressor bolts in one of the pictures it does look like the cover is of rst size and the fact that it hasnt been machined in the inlet throat much if not at all still makes me think it isnt REAL T34 spec as its known. But without inducer and exducer sizes cant confirm, i have also emailed the seller and now awaiting a torrent of abuse

 

T34 is actually a T04b "S-3" Trim..
