...its from a skyline and I want to know what power these turbos are capable of. I dont know which exhaust housing is on it so an approx figure on bhp on a 3ltr 6 cylinder and what cost are they new?

Out of interest would it work at all on a small 2ltr 4pot- say a YB for example? and what power is possible?

I've seen those "T70"'s on ebay... chinese crap.. no real data on them.. Garrett don't make one, as far as I know!

mark r

try looking on turbonectics web site im sure its one of theres

twoblacklines

all the T70's are cheap chinese shit.

The real ones are either T66 or T78 or T88 or T88H or T51KAI or T51SPL. curiously name wise the 51's are larger than the 88's

Actually it appears Garrett DID do a T70...




Whether this guys one is one or not is another story

OK then assuming this T70 is a genuine tagged Garrett and not a chinese piece of crap has anybody any experience of them and their characteristics? I am reading up and looking round but any advice and first hand info is welcome

Mark Shead

Why do you want to know about it, are you planning to use one on a yb.

Hi Mark, no Im not thinking of using it on the YB. I was offered the turbo for an M3 3Ltr engine conversion and am looking for around 500bhp from the setup but really dont know the turbos suitability to be honest and dont want to purchase something totally unsuitable or inadequate.

The Garrett T70 above isn't really for that... a big T4 or a T61 would go very nice with the M3 engine

Mark Shead

I would run a GT30 or GT35 on that engine, These are very good turbo's, I am also looking in to the Borg Warner turbo's also.

holset turbos are popular in bmw tuning. and cheap compaired to garretts etc.

love all the 'chinese crap' comments, the chinese actually produce some of the best products for industry out there at the moment, togther with india they are market leaders, and you may find that they even make parts for garret turbos

Holset Hx 55 has been used a few times, I will be reading a lot of info on this and possibly learning swedish lol

big_wig_074

id say an hx40 of appropriate size would do for this.i know there will be a few of these for sale fairly soon too.at very good prices.
