Looking for a turbo!

[TerryBPP]

I got shafted on a turbo I had lined up! No pun intended. I'm looking for a turbo for a 4cyl BMW. Preferably a T3, T3/T4, T25. Let me know what you have. This is the last piece in the puzzle.

I know this is not the BMW forum, but the response there sucks.

Have you thought about supercharging?
What model / year?

[Saintly]

Never mind.. i should have looked at your sig line

What's the displacement of the engine and the boost level that you're looking for?

I know the turbos from the ChryCo cars of the '80 are readily available and reasonable priced and rebuilts can be found for low $$$s. Most of them were Garrett, installed on 2.2-2.5L, and as installed 7, 10, or 15 psi depending on model.

I have an oooold T04, w/ a couple different trims (exhaust side)

picts . . .cobwebs and all





This model was used on the early911 turbo development;

Should be the right size, but it is old . . .sitting around for decades.

$100 (?)

Island, what are the rest of the specs on that pup? If Terry isn't interested I may be....

[island911]

trims are A/R .4 and .58 (whatcha think'n of turbo'n, Rick?)
fwiw;
I came across a write-up on a 1974 Turbo. . ..complete w/ the same airesearch T04 turbo and boost restrictor.

Here are a few pict's

I'm always on the lookout for 3.2 candidates...


This is what Proto uses:

"60-1 in a T04B on a P trim wheel, then vary the a/r of the turbine housing for either Stage 1,2 or 3 from a .58 to a .84. The Stage 1 get's the .58 for good low speed response, but it kills the power on a Stage 3, so the Stage 3 get's the .84."

Go to a nearest junkyard and yank out T3 och T25 from scraped Volvo or SAAB.

They are ubiquous and can be bought cheap.
