LOOK at new Ebay 16g turbo and exhaust setup

[Silver 95 GST]

How does it look?

Isn't it awesome how people are here to offer OPINIONS but instead they talk down to everybody that doesn't do things the way they THINK it should be done? Seriously, if people can't leave their condesending tones and disdain out of their posts then keep your hands off the keyboard./QUOTE]

Gets annoying doesn't it? Ten people tell him it's going to blow up, so then someone else comes along and tells him the same thing. People just acting like they know what they're talking about or just trying to get their post count up.

What Ebay store did yo get it from exactly just curious. I was thinking bout getting one but seems like a good ebay turbo is like a mythical creature

I know your post is a few months old, but if you still wanna know what store he got it from, on the inspection sheet he showed earlier on, it had a cxracing logo on it. And as far as all my research has gone, if you want an ebay 16, then cxracing and ssautochrome are the two that you should go through if you want a good chance at getting a turbo that will last. Most of the horror stories people see are from other vendors. I will be considering one from cxracing in a couple weeks due to lack of funds but one piece of advice to take from this whole ordeal, when you get the turbo, take it to your local machinist and get the damn thing balanced. If you do that you will probably have more success than everyone thinks. Good luck to everyone with their turbos...ebay or not.

You fail to read. Thanks for you highly NOT needed post there champ. When I say champ, I mean NOT champ. Hopefully your other 200 post aren't that useless.

Keep us posted about the ebay turbo. A lot of people have luck with them, most do not. I have HORRIBLE luck. So I do not see myself rocking one. I'm more of a proven budget theory man. Good lucks and props man, you must like to gamble

263whp is NOT pushing a 16g

I just put down 306whp/313tq on a big16g at a Mustang Dyno. I was pretty happy with it since the seals on the turbo are going out anyways haha

 

[nickblackgsx]

Personally I wouldn't do it, but if it works it works! I hope it doesn't give out on ya ### I love good deals just like everybody else but I do have to say FP3065 FTW!

How's the ebay 16g doin' ?

 

[Hubbard 0]

Not sure if I ever posted here already, but when I bought my car it had some ebay 16G on it. 15,000 miles later and seeing 20 lbs of boost daily it is still holding together.

I will be replacing it eventually with an HX35 setup though.

Not being cynical, negative or speaking from inexperience. Previously I showed what these turbos do when you pull airflow numbers with it beyond what a 6cm^2 stock 14b can do. With a look at my personal ebay turbo. So, . . . what are your airflow numbers with this 20psi ebay 16g?

Mine blew once I pushed over 33lb/min. My stock 14b with faster spool did that. Didn't blow either. My small 16g wen MUCH farther than that, used; didn't blow .

I don't understand why you all would put on a turbo that will blow at flow levels at the limit of a 14b. You can get a 14b for less and rebuild it for nothing. Then have faster spool. Your flow is limited by durability not the name 16g or wheel size diameters. . .

Do yourself a favor, save some money and buy a genuine MHI turbo, its better in the long run and you most likely wont have to worry about it!

 

[simons3z]

updates? would like to see whats going on with this setup. +1 for trying something different.

Its because most people would rather think there just saving money instead of realizing there just wasting the money and there time.

Any pictures of the carnage? I love seeing pics of pieces of ebay compressors embedded in everything

Personally I wouldn't do it, but if it works it works! I hope it doesn't give out on ya ### I love good deals just like everybody else but I do have to say FP3065 FTW!

Meh...its a big step from a ebay 16g to an FP3065....i love my 3065 but most days i wish i just went 20g or fp green and kept my air conditioning

crap wrong post sorry

 

[97dsmtsi]

i like the powered by ebay sticker!!!!

i think its funny to. where you get that at?
well i got a 20g Godspeed turbo and i think its good. i just emailed them and asked where they are made and guess what? not in china. they come from Taiwan. i don't think thats any better. but i don't care my car if much faster. and walked my friends turbo fully built h22. he was a little mad.


BUT THEY CAN GO BAD FASTER THEN THE REAL ONES

 

[dsm-onster]

You beat it at 20psi too, or was that 15psi , since you've mentioned that's what you're running on the 6th. . .

What was the honda running, a 15g? no let me guess. . . a "t3/t4"

Garrett sources parts from china. And holset has a factory there. Engineering their items vs. figuring out how to copy it so that it looks similar enough to fool the above is different. But worse yet is this: resurrecting a 7month old thread to still argue about a subject in a thread in which you previously locked and became temporarily banned.

Taiwan is 'old China' BTW. . . Regardless, it's not about the country of origin as much as it's about the above apparent lack of QC. So like you said yourself, they 'can and have gone bad faster than the real ones'. Chinabay is different from made in china by a quality company. Mincing words proves what??? vs. what happens with turbos made of inferior quality in sweatshops typically located where neo-communism takes a front seat to international patent law.

well i didn't say they where good to last years and years . but how long dose a good turbo last? the t3t4 Garrett thats on my h22 lasted i think 2yr at 25psi and i just had to rebuild it. i have a SPA 52trim that i may take off the accord and put on the h22. (the accord isn't holding) so yeah how long dose a good turbo last? i ask you landoawd. you build turbos right? and btw im not here to give wrong specs i share what i know and if im wrong someone will correct me. you dont have to get mad.sorry for your troubles.

 

[dsm-onster]

A good turbo last for many, many years when they have a compressor map that floats out to 48lb/min, yet you're running 15-20psi on a 2.0L DSM motor with a typical revlimit. My real 18g lasted two years of me beating it at 27+psi. And is still going strong on a car here locally who's been pushing it at 30psi and netting 119 mph trap speeds in a full weight 2g.

Same with my small 16g. Pushed 34lb/min at 25psi with the stock long block, drove it like that for a several years since it was my first turbo upgrade. Put it BACK on my car after the t-netics blew (typical), saw the limits of the compressor map for over a year. Then sold it and another full weight 2g is running basement 12s with full weight and seeing 116mph and has run it every week for a year now.

My h1c came off a 5.9L diesel with +200k. NO REBUILD. Swapped on the BEP housing and ran it. Saw over 40lb/min at 29psi. Still zero shaft play since swapping to it from the small 16g.

so your saying keep low psi last longer

 

[dsm-onster]

Yours is lasting at low psi. So yea. . . But more specifically. Lower airflow. Don't push the turbo. Wich means increase the rpms of the wheels. The rpms of the wheels would go up if 1) you raise the boost, 2) you upgrade anything that increases flow of the motor (cams, stroke, intake manifold, exhaust manifold). Increasing total flow causes the turbo to increase rpms to maintain the same boost. Increasing boost causes the turbo to increase rpm to see the higher boost.

i wonder why my Garrett didn't last? and have you herd of SPA turbos?
