Gday all im after anyone who has used a gt3037/gt35 ebay spec turbo on a rb25. I know I know everyone is quick to dump crap on them, how ever I built a gas turbine engine from a t70 and ran 25psi no worries at all, so for the short term (which is all im after) there is potential.

There is the potential it will destroy your engine too.

Why not just buy a Hypergear? Cheap, high quality thrust/bearings, properly balanced, with local warranty. I try and back the Aussie made products if I can... No way I would want to push an Egay gt35 to 150,000 revs.

They work for some.

Think about what you are really risking, time and money, poor perfornance etc

Not worth the risk as Scott mentioned considering the other options.

where's that thread where someone used a ling long dim sim eBay 3076 and made like 230kW with much added lag.

[GTSBoy]

Yeah, let's be realistic. There's no such thing as an eBay GT3037. All there really is are crap turbos with the description GT3037.

[Ben C34]

Some things you can maybe cheap out on. The turbo is not one of them.

[Ben C34]

Actually do a full knockoff build, fake z32 afm , turbo , gate, manifold, might as well buy a fake fuel pump and reg and add a bee r for flames.

Report back

might add a few vents to the block after all that elite gear ^

[hairdryer33]

Ive seen the vid of a t70 the compressor wheel was no bigger than a t04 just with a big ass housing on it. Its what its labled as anyway so no doubt its a mix match or smaller than a genuine garrett. Getting it balanced and good seals put in if it blows it blows

[hairdryer33]

And will do ben lol I had no issues with the ebay 38mm gate I used on my v8

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

why would you buy a dim sim special turbo, re balance it and re seal it, etc.. it will end up costing as much as a proper turbo to begin with.. if you're really keen on ling long special turbos at least go with a Kando peking duck special.

[Piggaz]

... Poor man pays twice.

I think that's the saying to be used here.

[Ben C34]

Or

cheap fast reliable.

Pick 2

A wastegate is something i consider you might get away with, as per your experience. Not worth the risk in my opinion if it sticks shut.

Also, it doesn't spin at 100,000 rpm.

[scotty nm35]

Jams shut, car goes better. Where is the downside?

[zebra]

that car will live its life a quater mile at a time

[hairdryer33]

Haha

[Kane_R32]

this thread delivers!

[Ben C34]

Op, aren't you running a stock turbo?

Just boost that till it pops to get an idea how fun it is changing a busted turbo before you experience it with an eBay turbo.

[hairdryer33]

Third turbo combo for this bus, the h1c wasn't much to write home about
