lets talk t-70

[TurboStreetCar]

hey guys, im lookin for a cheap turbo for a summer or 2 (READ: cheep and fast) and im lookin at either getting a ebay t3/t4 or a ebay t-70. the only thing is that i dont really kno what these turbos compare too. the t3/t4's iveseen are about the same size as a gt2871 but the wheel trim is alot bigger on the gt28 and the exhaust wheel is alot biggeron the t3/t4. im looking for something to make about 400 on untill i can save up for a gt35r.

so i started looking at the ebay t70's but all i can realy find on the is that they surge alot. im just wondering what the t3/t4's and t70's on ebay compare to so i kno what i should get.

spare me the reliability issues and any other opinions on anything other then performance of thse turbos. i understand u get what u pay for and all that.

so whos running a t3/t4 and a t70????

I think Adjuster is using the T-70. Look and see if he has a build thread.

I've got an ebay T70 on my '88 Camaro, if that counts. Just pulled it apart, after what was it... like almost 20k miles? Still looks good inside I'm probably going to send it off to Jon to rebuild it with ball bearing internals, if he can After I get a MAFT-Pro, anyway

i checked and i didnt see any build threads made by adjuster, it looks as though hes got the master power one anyway, i will be buying the cheap ebay special.

the ebay t70 u have oon ur camaro is that the masterpower one? or just ebay special $250 one? hows it boost up, i hear they surge bad. how do u like the performance of the turbo?

 

[Doward]

Ebay special. I paid $275 shipped. I figured, what the hell. Started spooling (.84 A/R T3 footprint) around 3200, and held wonderfully up to 6000rpm, where I shifted.

I bet this would work nicley on a NA-T swap......:icon_bigg

so when would full spool come on in a supra, an 88 camaro is prolly either a 350 or a 305, unless u thre it on a 3800 v6 lol, but if it was a 5 liter comign on around 3200 then full spool would be like what 4 4.5k?

 

[TurboStreetCar]

anyone else?

 

[SublimeSupra]

I would say you would be waiting and watching your watch for it to spool.

 

[Adjuster]

No build thread, but I really think the Master Power T70 is a nice turbo. (Yet to run it however, but the quality looks as good as anything I've had yet.)

Had, stock CT26, and ITS 60-1 bolt on with the BB option, and water cooled CHRA.

Just finishing up the manifold. (Again, it was not exactly what I wanted, so I'm welding and porting and it never ends...)

Should be mid 600's possible when this is all done.... Hope anyway.

 

[TurboStreetCar]

sweet, so ur plannin on trunning the t-70 then, when u get it on let us kno how it spools.

 

[illmatic357]

i have 1 it Pulls hard on my setup

 

[TurboStreetCar]

whats ur setup? how much boost u run? when u get full bost? whens it go positive?

I'd check out www.cheapturbo.com, you get what you pay for and I can attest to an "ebay special" turbo falling the hell apart. The seals went and you could turn the exhaust side and center housing like a door knob. P.O.S. in my opinion, but I'm sure its hit or miss. Maybe whoever was mass producing felt like working one day and made a good batch.. Who knows?
