anyone have any infor on aT04E Turbo? Help!
Turbo Mini Forums

Has anyone run a T04E turbo on a 998/1275, i stumbled across it in the classifieds and i figured it should work considering it came off a 800cc snowmobile(im a canuck). I couldent find a map for it or any information except its good for about 400bhp (obviously not runing on a mini). please let me know if anyone knows anything about this.
thanks

From a quick google it seems to be associated a lot with a T3, possibly a common hybrid or something. So by the sounds of it its quite a big turbo, not really suited to a mini unless going for mega power.

I wasn’t looking for mega boost or anything crazy just a little more of a punch when needed, but I guess it’s time to up rate the clutch and buckle up if that’s the case I hope it spools ok. come winter again I will probably post some build pics.

probably wont spool untill about 5 k,

the snowmobile it was off probably had a power band between 5 and 10k

but you nee to know what trim it has

400bhp on a 2-3L car lol, i just sold one and would not consider it in a mini whey too big

Well then lets just go ahead and open a can of worms here and ask the biggest open ended question, what turbo should i use, its going to be a side mount with intercooler i only really want run under 10psi anything more and i would have to build an engine to support this and i don't have the time nor capital to do so. so in that light a cheap turbo is needed, something that is easy to find in the americas would be prefered.

GT17 from the saab 95 is ideal,

as above

any sugestions on some store bought items, the only 9-5 turbo is going to be on a 9-5 and well i don't need another car!

eBay or breakers.

so i found out somthing that will hopefully be useful and maybe will help, the Ford 3.5L v6 uses two GT15 turbo chargers could this possibly work, if to these are a dime a dozen in the oilsands region of canada.

the 15 may be viable as your keeping to lowish boost, do you know what particular type eg GT1549.

this is wothr having a play with to estimate your options
