Flow rating 500 hp/370kW
Compressor cover 0.7, 4 inch inlet
Compressor Wheel Super V-trim, 6 blade
Exhaust Housing 1.OO
T4 bolt pattern
Split pulse
Turbine High Flow P-trim
Left hand thread shaft
Seal Carbon seal
(suitable for carby setup)
Bearing 360 degree bolt in thrust brg.
(capable of 25+psi)
Suitability Rotary engines
Piston engines, 2.5 L up to 5.0 L
This turbo has done less than 3000 km. Prior to sale the unit was disassembled, cleaned, checked and fitted with a new rear bearing and seal by Adelaide Turbo Services. The turbo is in excellent condition and comes with a condition and spec report from ATS. The 360 degre thrust bearing will allow sustained boost levels of over 25 psi reliably. The turbo is being sold because I am upgrading .
Pictures are available including the report sheet, email me at sgannon@mmal.com.au.
$800 ono
Shipment by australia post and COD, purchaser paying shipping, unless you live in adelaide, then I'll deliver.

Hiya Sean,
How would this go on a 7m ? Specifically (in your experience anyway) how compared to a high flow CT-26 ?
Cheers

Hi mate
With a good split-pulse manifold (or modified stock one) it'd be a real power maker. To give you an idea, on my old 5m, it made 220rwkw through the big converter and rooted auto. Consider that the car dropped 50 rwkw when I went to the auto from a w58-giving an estmated manual rwkw of 270. On a nice 7m, as your sig suggests I'd be expecting near 300 on 20-22psi. Also, the split pulse will get it spooling faster. I would say that the CT will boost up faster, but once the TO4 gets going i guarantee you wont care. When it really comes into it's own is on rolling starts with a few revs on board-it'd be awesome. 1st, second and most of third gears should be up in smoke..............

I am considering putting one of these onto my 1JZ... 500 - 600hp at the engine is what I'm after. A T04B should in theory be able to go to 500 - 550 ?
What was it attached to and what was boost response like ?
If it's still available in about a fortnight or a months time I will give this serious consideration.

Hi mate-the turbo has been on two engines-one being a pretty wild 5ME 2.8L(forgies, 292deg cam, race ported head etc etc) and the other a 4.5L petrol landcruiser engine. The response on the 2.8 was a little laggy, however that wasn't due only to the blower-It was also caused by the fact the compression was down around 7.5:1 and the cam didn't start working till around 3000. (at the drags I nearly hit 8000 rpm in first because once it boosted up and came on cam it was awesome).
(response on the 4.5 L cruiser motor was wicked though-boost off idle..........=-)
The car would come on like a light switch at about 3000 and from there it was a hang-on type of ride till the 7500rev limit.
Having learned a series of lessons with that set-up and a few others since, with a bit of thought put into the install I'd think you could get the smaller capacity 1JZ spooling up in the mid twos. Make use of the split pulse housing by using a split pulse manifold and spool-up will be greatly reduced. Also, a boost controller will bring the boost on a lot faster.
Thinking logically, it'd be wrong to say that such a set up would have brilliant response-you're dealing with pretty large turbo here, however, care in the install will give you a package with reasonable response. HOWEVER, whist the response may be average, once it kicks in it will truly blow your socks off. On a rolling start with anything more than 3000 rpm on board in any gear you won't come up against a lot of competition...........
You'd certainly get close to your power target, and for a lot less than buying a GT series turbo-Even when I had this built it cost a bit. The original turbo cost $300, the rebuild cost $1600 (the only original parts left were the exhaust housing and compressor backplate-everything else was new-shaft, cover, bearings, core, wheel, heat shield) and the freshen up It just had prior to sale was $300. (freshen up was purely for sale purposes-so it'd be in as new condition for a buyer)
I'm only ditching it because I've found a Trust TD07 capable of 600hp for the right price that will be able to feed the 4.5L cruiser motor all the air it wants.
Anyway
take it easy

oops-bump.
My finger slipped.
With a simple adaptor plate this blower could be put on a 1J, a 2J or a 7M-voila BIG SINGLE.
Yes it will give some lag-but with 300 rwkw who cares.......

Just wondering how it would go on a 3SGTE, engine has been reco'ed with forged pistons etc.
Thanks.

I'd imagine, that the turbo would be hella peaky on a 2Litre engine. Not saying it won'd spool, but you probably wouldn't see much until around 4000-5000 rpm.

Yes-agreed. Although I'd like to tell you it'd be great, it's more likely to take a while to spool-I think that 4000 is a good estimate. One way you could change it would be to change the rear housing to a .63 or smaller-that combined with a good split pulse setup could get it down 3000 or so.

I've still got it mate-It's hard to say exactly how it would compare-it depends on the wheels in the BB unit, however if we are talking similar sized wheels with the same manifold you'd be looking at between 250 and 500 rpm difference in spool time. In terms of bang for your buck though-no contest.........
And once she's on boost, it doesn't matter if it's BB or plain bearing.................=-)
My number is 8278 9601 if you'd like to ask any questions.
