Are you sure they are ball bearing turbos?

They look like a pair of T25G turbo's to me...

Either way, unless they have been rebuilt during their life, they would be fairly long in the tooth now...

Aren't those for some TT application? RB or 300zx?

AFAIK CA and SR t25/t28 use 5 bolts towards the exhaust side/downpipe.

Why don't you hop on a Holset turbo?They're very good turbos.Or even Master Power.There not cheap ebay turbos.I think theyre from Brazil or somewhere in So. America.

My buddy runs one on his Turbo Stang.

Puts down 600 ish hp on pump gas.Been running for like.... 1.5 years i think

they are off a 300zx.

thats canadian pricing aswell, i can ge them both for 100$ each, Canadian :P

I was doing some reading and they seem to spool up faily quick as a single turbo set up but would run out of power higher up.

I don't know much about turbos which is why i'm asking here.

If they are standard T25 out of a 300zx, then they are not T25G, so you will be pretty much stucked with same turbo from Factory and with the headache of having to make a custom exhaust flange/downpipe.

I could be wrong tho.

ugh yeah those are the 4 bolt 300z turbos. You don't want them they are probably poop. Not to mention they have the same fail status as some of the other g's as in their exhaust turbine blades shatter after being subjected to anything over 7 grand. (at least if I remember right). Just buy a used SR T25G. You could buy one used in better condition for less, even though there are 2, you really don't want either, and you would have to fab up some parts to run one. (and their a/r ratio is smaller, probably similar to the stock ca turbo, so poo for boost too )

So no not a good deal unless you have a 300 Z lol

Z32 turbos are pretty much the same size as the stock CA turbo. Ultimate fail.
