Well you’ve gotten the opinions and a list lol, now it’s on YOU, you know the saying “ a cars only as reliable as its owner” top shelf parts will still fail upon improper assembly, machine work aside your cars reliability is up to you :thumb:
Shoot I wouldn’t hesitate to run that flywheel! I see some staining from rust but no heat marks or anything, I’m willing to bet it’s a fresh surface and just rusted before it got used, however you know my bad habits of throwing junk together...
We won a trophy this past year; Ground Rules 2k23 in Oshawa, Ontario! The vert did amazing on this trip from Ohio to Ontario and I can't wait to come back for the 2024 season
Let’s say it again all together, “CX racing turbos are the same Chinese 16g’s built by the same Chinese 8 year olds that every other eBay vendor sells, CXracing does nothing special with them”. With that being said, it’s like I mentioned above...
Marty’s over here ruffling feathers at Walmart meanwhile I haven’t touched anything over here, too busy but my truck will be in the garage for a 3/4 drop soon enough, no more than that but I can’t leave anything alone.
Run of the mill Chinese knockoff 16g, same exact one can be had through other vendors without the marked up extras for 150 bucks. Do the same thing as an authentic one until they don’t, which is typically a short life span so buyer beware. You...
A CX Racing intercooler is fine with a 16g level turbo (I run one myself and saw great IATs), but you have ensure that the piping is meant for the correct style of turbo. If it's a "stock replacement" for a 2G, it will have pipe bends and likely...
I mean not to negate your thoughts on it but how bad off is that shell really? Is it down south rusty where there’s some scaling here and there and is northerners would be like “this thing is real solid!”, or is it actually rotted through in...
Been trying to talk myself out of tossing a 16g on the rotted 1g I have and just driving the shit out of it with no ragrets while I make the Eclipse what I want it to be. I have so many parts I can’t talk myself out of it.
And stories like that is why I tell people the most fun you can possibly bolt to a dsm is a 16g! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my fun with “big” turbos, but at the end of the day the 16g will always be my favorite.
That’s the BEST LOL. I’ll never forget running into a duramax that wanted to play, we went from a 40 roll and a dig and I smoked him both times LOL, that was years ago on a good ole evo 3 16g/e85 stock motor set up LOL. After the dig run he was...
From my understanding they switched hands a time or 2 and started selling all generic Chinese parts instead of just certain items like early on, someone posted on their Instagram they were getting back into hand fabricated manifolds and such...
If it tells you anything the sbe record car has gone 8.90 at 151 on a felpro composite and some standard ARP studs, doesn’t mean it’s the best option for everyone but says a lot for the guys who thing they need an MLS gasket for their stock...
I use composite head gaskets on stock piston/rod combos. The headgasket serves as a fuse.For piston/rod motors, mls and some experience tuning. Another reason to run mls is to lower the compression or get the cylinder head height correct.
Look at several other hx40 set ups in stock location, if the wastegate dump is an issue re route it to where it’s not, if hoses are intervening with it fix it so they’re not as these our problems no one else has with that set up. Do it the right...
