Cheap Turbo Mod

[chris_82]

Hi guys, just a quick question. I plan to build a project car soon and having a bit of trouble finding a turbo to suit, can this turbo be modified so that the centre section (oil feed and return inlet/outlets) are on the opposite side as shown, I need to have the oil feed to be on the same side as the flange. Is it just a matter of unbolting and turning it around then rebolting it up. I know its only a cheap and nasty turbo but it would work for a starting point. I asked the seller and he doesnt seem to have much of an idea.

I really don't know why people punish themselves buying turbos like these...

[SargeRX8]

The front and rear housings can be rotated as you suggested. That turbo is rubbish.

[chris_82]

I havent bought anything yet. But it would be handy to know if they can be pulled apart and swapped around. Also redirecting the cold side a different angle for easier cooler pipes install

[bluey33]

buy 5 of them you will prob need them.

WTF, if you want a shit turbo why not buy a T04E that fits off ebay.... ?

[luvpsi]

Better yet save the coin buy a decent turbo that won't cost you more in the long run

That turbo will probably go like a bag of shit and last one oil change.

You will spend more money making parts to fit that turbo, like dumps cooler pipes and lines then you will buying the turbo ETC.

Buy something decent from the get go, Kando Dynamics are cheap and reliable:

That would be a similar amount of effort to install but would be worth using if you are funds limited. That or a hypergear highflow would suit you better.

Like i said but few of u actually took note of what i was saying, I know its a crap turbo. But that wasnt what i was asking, i was asking if they can be pulled apart and altered. so thanks sarge thats all i needed to know.

Buy a kando and rotate the housing on that at least it will last a dyno run

[The Mafia]

You wouldn't need to know that if you weren't going to buy one.

You do realize these turbos usually last a run or two on the dyno and then blow?

Make sure you post back your results so that we can say that we told you so.

Of you do decide to smarten up, buy a kando.

Oh that ones different. It not only explodes but it has a new technology from china that infiltrates your engine

Go back on eBay and look up td06 If you want close to 300 or t67 for 300 over just buy a kando man seriously 800 for everything you just need a dump made and they last

[Super Drager]

Those ebay turbos are great for bush bashers . I know a guy who threw one on a old MX6 he had in the paddock, bought turbo manifold, turbo, cooler etc off ebay and got a FPR and a 12:1 vortech FMU....lasted ages with that haha

[Bsa]

I was making 250 on a 20 with a td06 and it did plenty of dyno runs. Still like brand new
