T 3/4 Turbo.

I'm currently looking at a RB30 Patrol and the bloke selling it has a T 3/4 Turbo with a long runner manifold. None of it is hooked up but apparently it was in the old motor. He says he was getting 130 rwkw @7psi on 35's. The thing I'm concerned about is how well the turbo will actually work. He's getting rid of the rig for rather cheap (Approx 4.5k) So I'm going to assume that the turbo isn't a highly reputable one. Can anyone see any future problems with this, and how well do you think the RB30 with a t3/4 turbo will go?

Its what all the vl boys run and they get 300hp plus from them buy they are injected and worked. Is it a Garrett or a copy

I'm not sure if it's genuine or not. I'm assuming not based on the low price of the car, which it my concern. I'm still deciding whether or not it'd be worth looking at.

I'd message the bloke tomorrow but I have so many questions for him, I just don't want to hassle him too much haha.

Your the one buying ask all the questions you need to if he doesn't like it his problem really


Just tap it in just tappy tappy tappy

Does the manifold look like thishttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2013/02/74.jpgsorry for the crap quality its an old pic.
Anyway these crack, the T3/4 turbo if its a T3 hi flowed to T4 thats fine coz its oil and water cooled, if its only oil cooled then its like a Ebay special and i've cracked 1.
Rb30 motors are tuff as, i drove a vl with a cracked head for 2 years lol and when i don the head i lowered the comp and slapped a turbo setup on it and it loved it it.

The car at 4.5k sounds cheap but it depends whats done to it, if its all stock apart from the setup then i would say that high coz i could get a bog stock 1 clean as for 3g's just depends what its got yeh.

This is the picture he has of all the turbo gear that comes with it (I have no idea if anything is missing as I don't know jack about turbo setups) The car also have quite a few mods to it such as: 2" body, 3" spring, Roof rack, 35's, tube winch bar, heavy duty clutch, rear quarter chop.

Do you think it would be worth looking at for around 4-5k?

Hi Mate,

Can i ask you to head over to the Introduction section and post an intro thread. We ask new members to say G'day before asking for advice! just like walking into a room mate. Say Hi and you will get plenty of Help. Your in good hands with Alitis as he's an RB30 bloke. Just say G'day mate.

Cheers MR

Yeh mate better say G'day then i can keep going, its polite and respectful and part of the forum policy.

MR i wouldn't say that lol i'm a ROTARY guy thats like to put turbos on anything and have a bit of experience with the RB engines haha

Also t3/t4 is the size of the compressor and exhaust sides of the turbo if its a good brand like Garrett hks gready etc the it shall be reliable also look for water and oil cooled much better
