Whats the going price for a T3T4? Ive got an opportunity to pick one up for $100-Its rebuilt though

 

there are alot of factors that can change the price of a turbo..depending on the specs, they can for 500 or 1000, it really depends.


100 is cheap, are you sure it holds boost? or are you just going by the dudes word?

 

well the guy says his uncle owns owns a turbo shop out in p-town so he can get rebuilt turbos at cost but it sounds shady- its for a 99 integ

 

I wouldnt do it, go for something that you know is ok, it may cost more, but its not worth the risk to buy something that might be complete ass. imo.

 

yeah it sounded kinda fishy but still when someone says T3T4 for $100 your eyes light up

 

$450 brand new

 

Rebuild kits for Garrett turbos are actually cheap as hell...assuming that the compressor blade didn't come into contact with the housing...

You can buy prerebuilt cartridges that only require the dissasembly of the turbo...then slapping it back together...best part is, it's prebalanced!

Only the seals and bearings kits run around 30 bucks...so I could imagine it possible to pick up a shot core and rebuild it...but 100 dollars is what some people would pay for a non reman core.

 

Just to let you know I had a 2 bad experiences with rebuilt turbos. They were the same turbo I bought it rebuilt (T-28) and after I put it on it didn't even spool, then I had it rebuilt again. Put it on it spooled and did fine for 2 months then it started smoking really bad. So I replaced it with a T3/T4. But it may have been the company that built the turbo.

 

Who did the rebuild?

I'm hoping your got some oil into before you got the motor running first right?

 

I havent bought it, let alone intsalled it yet,im waiting for my 6 puck clutch to come in before i put it in, the dude said his uncle did the rebuild I dont know if his unlce knows his shit or not
