Carlsworth

as said

new unused T4 for bentley, will need modified downpipe
ill put a new bearing housing in it, and 360 bearing kit

all for £800

Stavros

I always thought they external gate, massive exhaust housing (its specced for about 7litres, not TWO!), and not so high flowing compressor?

Or are there various versions? And what version are you meaning? And spec.

Carlsworth

not got the turbo or spec to hand, but think it was off a mulsanne,

your right, they re externally wastegated, not really looked into it, but thought it maybe a cheaper alternative..

will look into the spec etc, when i get chance

theres one on fleebay at the min

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RS500-T4-TURBO...QQcmdZViewItem

its build by essex racing dont know ifs its any good
e-mailed the bloke and he want £1000 for it, thing is he only bought it 2 days ago for £1500 so why is he getting rid?

i'm after a t4 aswell, but hard to find a cheap one

Stavros

1.71 a/r exhaust housing?!?!

yeah, MEGA suitable for a 2litre

Buying a T4 cheap usually means one of three things - it's fucked, it is the wrong spec for a 2 litre car, is a standard T4 and doesn't have the 360 deg bearing or enalrged wastegate penny (which will prevent you from limiting the boost above 7000rpm).

Rick

So you're advising on a turbo, that you actually haven't a clue about?!

Stavros

Still ROFL at reccomending an external gate turbo with a 1.71 a/r exhaust housing suited to a 7litre engine as a replacment for a Cossie "T4"

Pretty certain Bentley T4s are "proper" T4s too, so have T4 flanged ex housings rather than T3s like cossie exhaust housings, so wont fit again, regardless of external wastegate.

Welcome to the world of turbo and tuning specialists, where anyone can make up a name, give it loads of talk, and start a company in their bedroom with no knowlege or experience.

Its a UK thing I think, we too trusting, or to put it better, we mugs. We dont ask for proof, lots of complicated talk that confuses us is enough to hand our money over...

Steve,
I think it actually stems from people "thinking" they're getting the thing they think they need for cheaper money, when actually what they're getting is something not fit for purpose . It's the ebay "bargain" mentality .

*VICKIE*

so where would be the best place to get one from???

any recommendations??

RichardPON

Yes. Mike R can sort one out, as above.

Apparently this is also a Bentley housing (notice the place for the EGT sendor) which I've just obtained for the back end of my strangely large T34 type turbo to replace the surgetastic (sorry Stavros nicked your phrase) 0.48 housing. It also means I'll be able to get the downpipe to finally seal hopefully with it being V-band!!!!

Stavros

Thats off a twin turbo bentley, not a single like mentioned.

One of the two twins may be ok, tho i know nowt about them, so wont comment.

Lee_R21Turbo

iTrader: (1)

I never said it was!!!!

What compressors do they use then the twin turbos???

Would hate to think how much those housings cost from Bentley themselves though!!!

Stavros

I know you didnt

What power are they? Im guessing it had a fairly small compressor, maybe T3 sorta thing.

Some american big capacity small power turbo cars often had fairly big (well, like yours) ex housings and lil T3 compressors.

Carlsworth

Thanks rick and stavros for the comments.
Nice to see that anyone can be belittled on a public forum when something is taken out of context.

First off, i said i would need to check spec to be certain, and secondly that it maybe a cheaper alternative, but would need to check.

It arrived in a box, and has sat there since, hence i needed to check the details.


So, to recap, i did not say anywhere this is a direct replacement, nor did i say "try it, it ll be reet" etc...

Its quite obvious when seeing the spec that it isnt suitable for a cossie, even if it did fit.
However, this has been a lesson in finding out for definate before typing...doh

Rick

That is what you said, it was only after Steve pointed out that what u were suggesting is absolute manure, that you decided to check your facts, yet you'd already worked out how much to charge!

Carlsworth

decided what to charge...

you know how much a new bentley turbo is, nevermind new bearing housing with 360 kit??

i assumed, it would be suffieceint with changes to the manifold, without looking into it..turns out exhaust housing is ludicrous..
for which, i appologise

though it is obvious that its useless for 2l application,
