Hey guys I have a question. A guy in Houston(where I live) is trying to sell a T3 60-1 bb turbo off his RX-7. He says it only has 6,500 miles on it. He wants to get a smaller turbo. It has a 82 mm exhaust housing would this be too big for a maxima. He is letting it go at a great price and I was wondering if the was a good size for our cars.

 

Anybody?

 

Nobody? I would really appreciate it.

 

A t3 is to small for a maxima.

 

not really "too small"....a T3 60-1 will be plenty fine for most 3.0L motors, not the biggest, but definently not "too small" either. but yes T4 series and hybrids seem to make good power on these cars

 

true but how many maximas have a t3?

 

I think this turbo is bigger than a TO4E.... It has a 4 inch inlet and 2 and a half outlet. They sell for about 1700 dollars.

 

This is the turbo and I was wondering if it was too small. http://www.turboneticsinc.com/series60.html

 

It's almost the same size turbo I'm using on mine. It's a hybrid. T3 exhaust side, 60-1 compressor. T3/T4 hybrid.

 

The 82 mm exhaust side should work out well for a Maxima. What are the A/R? If it's a good price, I'd buy it. But make sure it's really in good shape. A lot can happen in 6500 miles, and BB turbos can't be rebuilt.

 

a 60-1 is really a big t4 and not a t3 at all . I thank I am confused!!!!!! I am going to shut up now

 

That is a decent sized turbo. But we need the A/R readings to make sure it will work great for you or not....

 

That's what a hybrid turbo is. A T3 exhaust side with a T04 compressor. There is a T3 60-1 and a T4 60-1.

 

So that is a good size. Ya!

 

They cannot be rebuilt, I thought I read soemwhere that they could be rebuilt.

 

pretty sure any turbo can be rebuilt. can't see why not

 

He said because it is ballbearing, but I thought I read soemwhere they ould be rebuilt.

 

well I'm not too familiar on BB turbos internal differences(other than BBs of course), but still i can't see why they can't be rebuilt

 

If it was built it can be rebuilt.

 

Quick lesson on rebuidling ball bearing turbos:
1. If it is a BB from greddy, etc. they can not be rebuilt. They are "throw aways".
2. If it is a BB from Turbonetics, it CAN be rebuilt.

Rebuilding from Turbonetics for public generally costs:
375$ for non-bb
500$ for turbonetics bb

The problem with the bb HKS/garret, etc that they are basically assembled as one piece.

 

(spanishrice) that turbo is a turbonetics so it can be rebuilt

 

GOOD DEAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! buy that turbo but that is if you got the green $$$$

 

just make sure that turbo is in good working order.

 

Ummm......... it was alot more than I thought I am going to keep looking, my project will start this winter or in the summer!
