ATP are quite well priced,if you can put up with the shipping time and dont get stung at customs you'll be fine.

glancy2081

thats where a was looking mate just shows how ripped off we get over here

glancy2081

have u bought a turbo from the usa mate

escossie560

I have bought 2 gt30r from the states both from hinini racing no problems expect shipping and duty to add about 250 pounds still a fuck site cheaper

glancy2081

what spec motor u use the turbos on mate and what spec were turbos what like to drive lag etc cheers

escossie560

lag no major problem,pick a pressure above 3.5k and you can have it engine fully rebuilt small turbo on omex ,with external gate,430 bhp at 24 psi more to be had but still on stanard gearbox at moment so more to come

escossie560

turbo gt30r with 63 exuast ,going to change to bigger housing once gearbox and new manifold in place

glancy2081

3.5k rpm was what a was after looking for about 450bhp in escoss aswell how long did they take to arrive and what they cost all in

It would have to be ALOT cheaper to justify having no useful warranty to speak of.

Buying from the UK does have its advantages. Take the fact that my turbo supplier just took my turbo back, stripped it, inspected it and balanced it for under £50. There is no way they would have done that for a turbo bought from the US.

escossie560

Cost about 850 if memory serves me right,took about 3 weeks but parcel force had it for a week wankers .word of advice dont use 4x4 oil pick up point go 2wd style thats why ive bought 2.you will need to go external if you want to be able to control boost.May have complete 2wd manifold with pj motorsport trouser peice and 38 mm gate forsale soon

not a forsale add for all the moaning fuckers

escossie560

your not running roller bearing then

Christian and Beccy

iTrader: (14)

Yes.

Christian and Beccy

iTrader: (14)

GT30 infact.

glancy2081

so why u buy two turbos u break first one

escossie560

gt30 or 30r becuase you i was led to believe the roller bearing cores are not repairable/stripable. not having a go i could be wrong not for the first time i may add. would be intrested in comments cheers

escossie560

yes hense my comment about oil feeds ,feed pipe ventured to close to turbo.OH BOLLOCKS could i please have another of your fine turbos

glancy2081

did u have to make a plate to join exhaust hohsing on or standard one just bolt on

escossie560

i take it you mean to exaust,if so i made an adaptor to bolt to standard 3 bolt plate

escossie560

best picture of turbo on computer sorry

glancy2081

aye that was what a ment know a guy with a garret gt 30 with internal wastegate he bought it for his skyline before he sold it think a will go see if he still has it

escossie560

With interal i would expect boost control issues, could be wrong. but if the price is right you can always change exaust housing

glancy2081

why would u expect boost control issues with internal wastegate

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

think brom has fitted several gt30r's on cossies with internal wastegate and had good results

escossie560

i suppose it depends on what minimum boost setting you want ,never seen a 30r on internal, but seen similar size turbo strugle to hold less than 20psi as i have said not a tuner so could be wrong

so you saved yourself £150 and have no real warranty, well done

escossie560

lets face fact most turbo suppliers always try to weezel out of warranty claims

escossie560

just checked memory rubbish was 765 inc duty

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

what site?

glancy2081

do u sell gt30 with internal wastgate martin and do u think boost control would be a issue and seen ur car in the mag love the gearbox

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

I sell internal and external GT30's, give me a call for more info 0121 458 6010.. martin

escossie560

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

that GT30 is not the same as the one I sell!!

escossie560

I ve just had a quick look at your site and i believe thats not roller bearing
Am i right in thinking that?

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

nope... I only sell roller bearing turbo's!

...if you buy a turbo over here of this variety you get no warranty due to motorsport use get out clause.

Gordon1

So true

glancy2081

so what is rhe difference between the torbos is it the compressor map

NEWTON

well i never new that!!!!!

escossie560

Yes had a look at garret ,was not having a go at the turbo you sell ,but the one i have as you say is not the same as the one you sell .it has a higher power rating i think ,so is difficult to compair price wise , so may have saved a bit more than £225 if i remember correctly (as stated before memory is crap)i was quoted about £1300 plus exaust housing in the uk
