T3/T4 50 trim

[lowandslow4now]

I tried searching and put a number of different things in and i could not come up with anything. I just wanted to know who is still using them what kind of numbers are you getting? I currently have an opening where my turbo is supposed to be and I plan on filling it soon. Thanks for the help

Correct name is T3/T04E 50 trim.

John, I have a Turbonetics T3/T4 50 trim with the ball bearing option from turbonetics and a V-band adapter on the back. Its a .63 A/R and hardly has any shaft play. PM me if you want it, lowest I can go is $430 with the V-band adapter

[mike-2ptzero]

They are only $600 brand new.

yep, I loved mine...it was a .48 a/r though...sort of wish I had gone w/ the .63. It was awesome but left you wanting more power up top. Of course, coming from a k03, you'll think the car has rockets attached to it.

Thanks for the help I appreciate it I like the offer for the turbo but I just have to start fresh you know what i mean. My setup should be coming together soon I just have a few buisiness trip i have to go on first

[1fstavant]

thanks for the compliment...but yea the 50 trim for the price cant be beat and with the right setup could hit 450whp if not more in my opinion, but hell what do i kno

[lowandslow4now]

So are these B.A.T approved. lol

[mike-2ptzero]

So are these B.A.T approved. lol

well that depends on how much power it puts down, but everything above a K04 is allowed in the BAT club.


BTW a T3/T04E 50 trim would look very good on a FR manifold.

[1fstavant]

still waitin on that approval mike...

[lowandslow4now]

I would like to get the FR but I cant right now.I like the Spa manifold I had a chance to pick one up at WF and I didnt. But i will pick one up from 034 and there downpipe,etc

still waitin on that approval mike...

[lowandslow4now]

Ok, now when we going to see some time slips?

When is Show N Go?


BTW I am suprised no one has tried doing a T3/60-1 (61 lbs/min) or T3/T61(65 lbs) turbo, both are journal bearing and in the $688-$836 range.

[94jedi]

but everything above a K04 is allowed in the BAT club.

man things have changed...used to be you needed 2 of the following 3 things....

rods/built motor
4" inlet
T3 flanged mani

[1fstavant]

i believe the 19th i got the day off its just up to whether or not my car will be broken in...shit sucks that it had to pop so soon to when i was going to track it

[lowandslow4now]

I want to race at show-n-go but my wife doesnt want me to race her GLI . Something about its a new car I dont know. I'll convince her

Well thats to say that you actual have a BAT in the car, the BAT club is open to anyone running a turbo larger then K04 and he was asking to get into the FRAT club.

A true BAT setup would need 2 of the 3
4" inlet
T3 or larger flange
400+awhp.

[1fstavant]

if my motor didnt pop i was gonna switch to that around now...but next year im gonna get with arnold and see what we can get looking for 450whp on pump and 500 on racegas- so the 60-1 seems perfect...not to mention my shops owner is already buying my rods and more than likely my turbo so all ill need are either 800 or 1000cc injectors and a new flash from tap right aside from cams but they may becomng with in the week

i mean id love to go dbb but the cost is to great even tho id love to boost quicker off the shift- would that wot box help?

[94jedi]

yea, it would help...and help alot. you'll love that. Man, I wish I had the WOT BOX on my A4 w/ the t3/t4.

[mike-2ptzero]

i mean id love to go dbb but the cost is to great even tho id love to boost quicker off the shift- would that wot box help?

That box just lets you keep the throttle wot which means the BPV won't open during shifts but you will still lose all boost between shifts since it decreases the rpm by cutting off the spark to all 4 cylinders. So your turbo will start spooling down either way you look at it.

no doubt...guess i gotta go bb next year huh

[mike-2ptzero]

Well you dont have to, there are plenty of larger non BB turbos and the new borgwarner extended tip turbos are journal bearing. There are a few journal bearing Garrett turbos that use the .70 a/r compressor housing that comes on the GT35r, the T61 even uses the GT35R compressor wheel and cost $836. I just dont know if I would feel comfortable running over 30psi on a garrett journal bearing turbo but I am sure others have done it.

There are a lot of people running those turbos you mentionead above on 1.8T 20Vs, they just don't post on these forums.

The T3/T61 aka T3/GT40 is basically the same as an SC61 made by Precision Turbo, those are quite popular with the Honday guys.

The 60-1 turbos are generally not as efficient @ high boost levels, the 60-1 is an older wheel technology. For the price difference any turbo with a 61mm 56trim wheel (from GT3582R) would be a better choice.

I understand all of that. This is why I dont see why more Audi A4 owners aren't running them. Plus not all A4 owners are looking to run 26+psi on their daily drivers.

When I talk 1.8t here I mean Audi 1.8t longitude engine, I dont included the transverse 1.8t since this is a Audi A4 forum.
