A friend of mine wants $400 for his. Its currently in his 240 so I know it works. This sounds a bit high to me but I have alot to learn. I did search before posting this. Did not find much info. Thanks in advance

 

1/2 that

 

your friend sucks

 

Is it a s13 t25 or a s14/s15 t25? Makes all the difference in the world. The s14/s15 ones are bigger and closer to a 2560 in size, and are actually worth $400. The small ones are worth about $150-$200.

 

My friend gave me his for a beer, and it was in perfect shape.

It was a World Wide Stout but its still a beer.

I would un-friend this friend.

 

$300 craigslist,
$200 mt.net,
$50-100 friend (depends on friend).

 

Okay, How would I identify if it's from an s14-s15? He's saying only s13's came with t25's? Kind of a bummer if he's being shitty..

 

S13 Red-Top T25:
Compressor: T-25, 60 trim 56mm 0.80 A/R BCI-1 compressor.
Turbine: T-25, 62 trim 53.8mm 0.64 A/R turbine housing.

S13 Black-Top T25:
Compressor: T-25, 60 trim 56mm 0.80 A/R BCI-1 compressor.
Turbine: T-25, 62 trim 53.8mm 0.64 A/R turbine housing.

S14 Zenki (1993-96) Black-Top T28:
Compressor: T-28, 60 trim 60 mm 0.60 A/R BCI-1 compressor in T-04B housing
Turbine: T-25, 62 trim 53.8mm 0.64 A/R turbine housing.

S14 Kouki (1996-98) Black-Top T28:
Compressor: T-28, 60 trim 60 mm 0.60 A/R BCI-1 compressor in T-04B housing
Turbine: T-25, 62 trim 53.8mm 0.64 A/R turbine housing.

S15 Black-Top T28:
Compressor: T-28, 60 trim 60 mm 0.60 A/R BCI-1 compressor in T-04B housing
Turbine: T-25, 62 trim 53.8mm 0.64 A/R turbine housing, Inconel Turbine Wheel.

 

If he says "t28" have him remove the compressor and measure the diameter on the wheel. If it's 60mm, then he's right. A standard t25 compressor will only be held on with a snap ring. A t28 compressor will have 6 bolts on the back of the compressor that fasten it to a place. The plate is then held on to the chra with a snap ring.

 

Alright, thanks for all the help guys. I guess he thinks since I have little knowledge of cars he can take advantage of me. I may have alot to learn when it comes to that.. but I am no fool with my money..@ 3rdgen, Says it's a T25.

 

I got my s13 t25 for free. The sr20 guys basically throw them away, but realistically one in good condition can go for up to $200, although typically less.

It sounds to me like your "friend" is trying to fund his turbo upgrade by selling you his old t25 for what the upgrade is going to cost him.

 

I bought 2 sr20 t25's on Craigslist, complete for $40. They were pretty muffed up, but I could build 1 good one out of 2.

 

Lol I just got one for $25 on facebook. Needs a rebuild though. Im sure there's a sticky on here on how to do that

 

Yeah I bought one off eBay with manifold and downpipe (granted not for my car) for like 140 or something.

 

$25 on Facebook? You sir, have just purchased the most homosexual turbo ever.

 

Yes. Get a rebuild kit, and rebuild that ****. You learn and save money.

 

^ and you know thats true since its coming from a miata member

 

That's the plan. I've been a member here for a while. I just haven't been an active member. Next couple of weeks Imma lurk and pick up some knowledge. I've been neglecting "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell too.Turbo is now a priority

 

And tell your friend to come make an intro thread so we can laugh at his $400 turbo.

 

Just adding another data point, I paid less than $100/each for both of mine. The 2nd one had a broken bolt in the exhaust housing but I just wanted the CHRA as a spare.
