Tony240ZT Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 I've bought about 4 rebuild cartridges from them, they are willing to make deals if you buy in bulk. Best thing to do is to call them up, I don't have the number on me, but I think it's on the web page. Anyways, most t3 or t4 rebuild kits are about $115 shipped. The turbo on my orange car has a rebuild kit from them in it. I've put about 5k miles on it, and it still feels like new. I didn't do any balancing, and my shaft looked like it was in good condition, so I just sand blasted the parts and bolted it together. Best of luck getting the turbine housing off.. Sometimes it's a real pain. I've had to cut off the bolt heads before then machine them out. What a pain. If you need a stock turbine housing, because of the difficult bolts, or because of cracking I may have one laying around. Just ask me and I'll look to see. I know for a fact I have a compressor side setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dustyz Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 T4 w/T4 Flange are t-4 w/t3 flange S trim compressor wheel - O trim turbine wheel - A/R .84 turbine housing (Supports 300HP) Either Turbo $395.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Hey, dustyz. The $395.00 special is all wrong for the Z-Car, S trim compressor(too small) .84 T4 O-trim exhaust (will take forever to spool). And T4 exhaust housings have no internal wastegates. Instead look at the $695.00 T3/T4 hybrid (.63 stage 3 exhaust W/TO4E 57 trim). This is a much better option IMHO. Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I bought a rebuilt turbo from them, and had good luck with it. I recently had a T3/T4 hybrid rebuilt at a shop in Mass if people are interested. They went through it and replaced the bearings and seals, and bead blasted it. It came back looking new. They also included all new gaskets. Fast turn around too. It cost me $150.00. They are: D & W Diesel & Electric 731 Main St North Oxford, MA 01537 (508) 987-1089 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I have had good experiences w/ my local diesel shop as well. They are pretty happy doing performance stuff here too since it is something a little different for them ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Z-Gad, I've had the same experience. My local diesel shop had a t04b turbo that they were going to return as a core, and I asked if I could trade my t3 compressor housing for that t04b, and we did it. Also, they had a new t04b sitting on the shelf for over 10 years, didn't have the part number to it anymore, so they offered it to me $100 and I couldn't pass up. My local shop made some mods to my starion intercooler piping. Like you said, they love doing something a little different. They always wonder if I've blown up my car since bolting on a diesel truck part, which always makes me laugh a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Yep Tony, they have been a very valuable resource to me. It sounds like they have been a more valuable resource to you though. Those are some great deals, and you save on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
