Changing a 25 turbo isn't that hard providing you have a short spanner for the dump nuts/bolts and one for the rear housing nuts.

If it's your first time it will be harder though.

[Ben C34]

I know that it's not hard. But changing out shit busted parts is never fun.

[iruvyouskyrine]

Unless you have big shiny parts to replace them!

[Ben C34]

So long as it's not ebay shiny

[iruvyouskyrine]

Why not, my mates cousins dogs goldfish ran an eBay turbo and it made 7 million killerwatts, nothing wrong with them.

Still have yet to have a serious convo on here lol I know some are better than others (turbos) but surely someone must of had a good run with the china gear?! A 9sec blue vlt in soom some time ago used a ebay manifold and that was still running fine after 40+ hard passes and 1000s of ks. My old gas turbine project was fine at 25psi and 630deg c. Let the haters hate and the metal fragments fly!

The cheapest Hypergear turbo will shit all over an Ebay china special...why would you even bother other than to "be different".

[Ben C34]

At least you are approaching it with a good attitude!

A guy in adelaide turbo'd and El falcon with an eBay spec turbo. Worked for him. Does that help?

Unfortunately I don't think that you will find much info on them.

[hairdryer33]

Ok.

[hairdryer33]

Yeah it does thanks ben. Ive got a hell of a lot of mags (friends own a newsagency) seems about mid 2000s everyone from the nissans to ford 250s were into the china gear, some still are given 300+ people have bought the gt35 copy from ebay. Yolo I say so at least I can try 2nd time round and when it blows just get a garrett. I dont mind the extra work

[Ben C34]

I don't know the dude, just chatted at the track.

He mentioned that they are ok when you find the good ones. Which I imagine us hard to do.

I remember his turbo on the comp cover said "turbocharger" which I thought was funny. Maybe that's a clue to the good ones?

What is an Ebay China turbo worth these days anyway?

[Josh080691]

Its worth its weight in scrap metal

[Piggaz]

[hairdryer33]

I watch a video the other day, a drift teams was using an cheap turbo so yeah occasionally there maybe a good one amongst the crap ones. The hunt is on, let the haters hate! Also going ebay wg shock horror! Im running a ebay boost controller, intercooler, pipe work, plenum and exhaust. Hell I should just put a massive sticker on "sponsored by ebay" haha

[wolverine]

You can make a phone with two tins cans and a piece of string...but for some reason no one bothers anymore.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

They're not even useful as boat anchors, maybe good as a paperweight if that

[hairdryer33]

Too much hate in the world. Let a brother try twice

[JezR31]

When the ebay turbo shits itself, you might be able to buy a BB Garrett core and use your comp and exhaust housings. Cheap GT35.

Old 180sx pig had china Stainless manifold and china t28. Manifold lasted 2 drift days before cracking and the turbo had more shaft play than i was comfortable with over the same period.

Do it once do it right.
