Am purchasing a rebuilt GT4202r from this guy and wanna know what price they usually sell for used. The reason I am buying it is because i want to get another 13b built for street use and track with some good power. I want to know what power can i make with this turbo easy. What numbers can I expect with what mods and a street port. i need to have reasonable mpg also. And also is the lag bad on this turbo? Please all the help is appreciated and yes i look on other threads about it this turbo but didn't have much info on this one. Thanks all the help i can get. These are all the specs the guy sent me. please tell me what they go for used and if this is a good turbo and what helps to get it to spool up faster.

* Journal Bearing Turbocharger
* Oil-cooled bearing system
* Free-float, non-wastegated turbine housing
* Perfect for high horsepower, but responsive engines
* Ported shroud compressor housing to increase surge resistance
* Outline interchangeable with the ball bearing GT4294R CHRA
* Optional Turbine Housings with T4 or diesel turbine inlet flange

Compressor Specs:
Wheel Inducer Diameter: 74.3mm
Wheel Exducer Diameter: 102.0mm
Trim: 53

Turbine Specs:
Wheel Diameter: 84.0mm
Trim: 84
A/R: 1.01, 1.15, 1.28, or 1.44

Thats a GT42, not a GT42R. Reasonable price would be $1100 ish, they are $1300 new in journal bearing form. Can make 700+rwhp, and generally doesn't hit 1 bar of boost til 4500+rpms.

 

^^^ Bingo!

 

So their such thing as a gt4202 and gt4202r? Because he is telling me he has a gt4202r. Help! I whant to make sure am buying the right turbo for some drifting/ drag/ circuit and street

 

are you buying it local? You can tell if it's ball bearing just by spinning the wheel. if you spin it and it stops almost immediately, it's not ball bearing

 

Now I get it, the one I think this is, is the gt4294r

 

What's the difference between the gt4202r supposedly and the gt4294r?

 

4202 is a 74.5/102mm compressor wheel, the 4294 is a 70.5/94mm compressor wheel.
