...mostly involving buying poorly thought out parts for this project mid-to-post happy hour. I bought this turbo a few months ago for very cheap after doing some quick (read: inadequate) research. This was to replace the sweet turbonetics unit I had bought for a song a few months prior during happy hour that ended up having a meter or two of shaft play.
Airesearch T04. It seems like some Honda and Nissan folks are using these with success but they must be different than the one I ended up with. The hot side on this thing is humongous.
Hopefully I can unload it to someone who desperately needs a fresh one for their John Deere.
Here it is:
I hate to beat a dead horse but should I just search out an HX35 like a ton of people are using? For all the hundreds of m20 turbo builds out there, my feeble mind can’t grasp the proper turbo to use for this application. Lots of talk about eBay turbos that actually hold up fairly well but I’m too dumb to figure out exactly which one I should be looking at.
This is a rallycross car/winter beater that won’t (probably) ever see over 10psi and needs early boost much more than overall power.
I’m getting really close to having all the pieces to get this thing going but can’t get the turbo part down.
