Turbo Meister Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 My buddy wants his Rayjay turbos back that he has loaned me for the past 4 years. I don't want to get replacement Rayjays because they are outdated and there is very little future support for them. Turbonetics is the sole owner of the patent and they told me they will no longer make new Rayjays or replacement parts. Once they sell off their remaining inventory, Rayjay is history. I can't afford to change my exhaust system and buy new turbos. So I think I will have to stick with a twin setup. Some fabrication will still have to be done since no newer turbo is like the Rayjays. I wonder if I will make any of the Z shows much less any racing in the near future. I'm not buying any of the e-bay no name turbos because that's just asking for trouble. I would like a pair of Turbonetics T04B 62-1's. They are larger than the Rayjays and will provide a little more power. Is there a dealer on the site who has connections with Turbonetics and can obtain these turbos at a reasonable rate? Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zwitha383 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Man, that sucks. Isn't there a law for that. Once it's left on your property for 90 days it's yours. j/k. Why does he want them back all of the sudden? Maybe you shouldn't have showed him what can be done with em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinE Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 What flange type are the Rayjay turbo's? t3/t4? Are you only limited to Turbonetics turbos?? And what size turbo are you looking for in general? I'm pretty sure you can find some decent sized used turbo's for somewhat cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 If I'm not mistaken, thaagard sells garrets only. The gt35 is very similar, but I'm sure you want to go bigger. I have compared the gt35r side by side but the gt40 or gt42 looks alot better. I have a pair of the same turbos on my monte which barely got on the lift as of friday. I was considering going larger anyway. PM me if your interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat240zg Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Here's a long shot. When I sold the Banks kit this summer, Banks was actually the winner of the auction. The kit was from '81-'82 and was brand new. Had Rayjay turbos that were still new in the bag. They were going to take the setup and keep it for display. Might try contacting them about selling the turbos. Like I said, long shot....but? Bryan Dat240zg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Offer to buy your buddy replacement turbos. your out the same money either way, but get to avoid refabricating the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop me a PM if you are interested. Tim Tim, are they T3s or T4's, or a T3/T4 hybrid?? I think 2 Garrett T4OE (or something in the T4Ox family would be the hot ticket for him to replace what he has.

Turbo Meister Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Offer to buy your buddy replacement turbos. your out the same money either way, but get to avoid refabricating the exhaust. That's the first thing I tried. He has a Chevy Vega that he tried to race with those turbos 16 years ago. He couldn't make it work so the car sat until 4 years ago when he loaned them to me. After seeing what my Z can do with the turbos he got interested again. So my success is also my loss. Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Gad Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Sorry to hear about that Hanns... Hopefully you'll be able to work something out to keep a pair of snails on the car. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Meister Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 MasterPower, great turbos !!! Thanks for the info but I'm concerned about these turbos due to some negative comments from members at turbomustang.com. Also, MP does not list 0n-center turbines for their compressors. But great prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin280zx Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 There's alot of positive comments on the MP turbos too. I was going to go with MP and still might, but i'm looking into the s400 borg warners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hanns, Sorry to hear you are turboless. Are you ready to sell me the Z now? Just kidding, I probably could not afford it anyway. Good luck on finding some replacements. Check out ebay if you have not done so already. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
