Well my turbo was leaking about 1/2 a qt of oil a day into the down pipe. ( THANKS AGAIN HAL!!!!)

So I got a new One...

T3/T40E

I should have a dyno in a week or so comparing it to the old one

Pic....of the new one...This is how a new turbo SHOULD look






Pics of the old one... BTW leaked from these bottom 2 bolts sincethe DAY I got it . ( THANKS AGAIN HAL!!!! )

 

congrats! do you have anything left of the original kit anymore?

 

Excellent...

By the way, how's the house?

 

Probably not, neither do I. If you still have orignal parts of a Hal kit, then you either got issues or dont see the issues that are happening.

Dixit

 

Not for long.

Although I will be keeping the turbo timer. It was hooked up **** poorly, but I soldered it in and it works GREAT


Justin- coming along slow...lol. You should see a PM in a week or so

 

I bet that *FEELS* a hell of a lot stronger.

Can't wait to see your 10psi dyno.

 

I would not know yet.. I have yet to see boost in it..and I have been ~100 miles. I am gonna be slow with this ine. Gonna try a few lbs tonight though.

And 10 PSI will be awhile.. 8 is next.

 

are the specs the same for the new turbo

 

He doesn't know the old turbo specs.

 

You are missing a bolt there buddy...

New turbo looks yummy.

 

Yeah, hole won't line up..

I am gonna mess with it this weekend.. I installed it in the parking lot of where I bought it.

the turbine is the EXACT same.

The compressor is physically bigger that us all i know.Like icy siad, I have no idea of the specs on the compressor

Take it apart and measure the inducer/exducer diameter.

Also, there aren't markings on the housing that look like an A/R, ie .XX?

 

so bags are you going to have the old one re-built? and where did you buy it fom nopi?

 

On the compressor No. I am going to measure it and the wheel and call turbonetics.

Carl- Hal was the devil in this deal. If it was from NOPI, they would need to have an after the fire sale.

The old one will cost ~$500, over the phone qoute, to rebuild. the new one was ~$700.

I am going to take it ALL the way apart and see if I can put it back together.

I MAY hold off on that until I get the turbine houosing of my new one ceramic coated. That way I will not have to do anything

 

New turbo looks hot. Good to see you believe in the fast spool school of thought. Goodluck getting the rest of the kit up to par and enjoy the boost.

Can't wait to see another Sadler sized turbo dyno...especially at higher boost.

 

Should be next weekend.. and it may be the EXACT same.

I am still double checking.

Spool is nice, I gave it a little on the way into work. I am gonna try it a little more on the way home

 

I bet you make slightly more power with this turbo, simply due to the fact that this one has to be more efficient...given it has all it's blades in the correct position/shape (and no missing pieces). It's so pretty

 

The "butt dyno 2004" says it's faster. But that is all in my head I am sure.

It could be lower, I would not care. I actually feel "good" driving and showing my car off to people now. It's been a YEAR since I felt that way.

I can't wait to get it 100%, which will be next year...lol

 

When you dynoed recently was that with new turbo or old turbo?

 

Old turbo +12389071287312987

 

Woo woo last nite was fun

 

The car "felt" faster from 20-80 but "felt" slower from 100-130.

It very well could be in my head.

I did some "testing" last night, and the TQ steer down low IS worse than before.

My old compressor is 6 inches accross the new one is 7 inches accross.

We will see what the deal is on the dyno


Yes it was bijan

 

That could be good...a flatter, less peaky TQ/HP curve feels weaker up top because you don't notice the "going over the mountain and coming back down" effect like with the peakier curve. You just keep "climbing the mountain". That's a lame explanation, but it sounds better in person...

 

the base of the compressor wheel is 3 inches accross

the top of the compressor wheel is 2 1/4 inches accross

The depth of the compressor blades is 1 1/8 inch

The depth of the whole compressor fan shaft is 1 1/2 inch

The old compressor housing is 6 inches accross

the NEW compressor housing is 7 inches accross

 

That works out to a 56-trim, my *GUESS* would be a T04S.

What are the inlet and outlet opening diameters?

 

I was told, to4B, but that may be incorrect


OLD compressor-

Inlet- 2 1/2 inches

Oulet is 1 3/4 inches


I'll do the new one tomorrow

 

It may be, I just don't see those wheel specs except on a T04s, but I don't have EVERY possibility.

Wow...1-3/4 outlet. Should be 2"+ IMO.

 

Damn it looks so much better. Atleast it looks like you got a "new" turbo instead of some old shiat. I need to cmoe out with you guys when you do your runs and check stuff out LIVE.

 

Yeah, that must have been a pretty small trim T04B to have a 1.75" outlet. Maybe his new turbo has a S wheel in the E housing? My 70 trim T04S turbo has a 4" inlet and 3" outlet.

 

I doubt it, there's probably some other combination T04B/E/S out there.

Not sure, just guessing really.

 

BTW I am measuring INNER diameter. Not the outter diameter

 

I still cant believe hal cant step up to the plate and make his customers happy. I know its old news but still amazes me.
