You can get away with using cheap intercoolers, pipes etc but it all comes down to the fact that when the turbo has the shits and your up for a full rebuild we don't want to have to say we told you so. But it seems from all advice given ur set on a ebay turbo. Go for it let us know what power u make and if it lasts over a week.

*Sigh* Mr hairdryer sell your skyline to someone who will treat it with the right parts it deserves! Dunno what you are hoping to achieve or prove using a fleabay paperweight but you will prove to us what everyone already knows.. Your car will make faaark all power with massive amounts of lag & drive like a shitbox!

Just cause a drift car uses it doesn't mean shit! They dont care about response when they are limiter bashing them everywhere.. For the sake of maybe $200 MAX a hypergear turbo will eat an Ebay shitbox & be reliable and will have warranty and after sales service. If you dont heed this advice you are a f**kwit!

Wow, man asks legit question sau roaches come out of the sewers to have a crack

I've bought 2 china spec turbos and they are ok for the money.

yes mine are more laggy and make less power then an equivalent name brand turbo but I didnt expect much for the price I paid

another legitimate option for that size and airflow would be a reconditioned holset turbo, not china cheap but around 500delivered from usa. There are quite a few success stories about them on ka24s rb20s 25s honda motors etc

but not on sau

He has been given legit answers.

By your own admission the Ebay special is worse than a decent turbo. Pretty much what every is telling the OP.

There are few success stories for Holset on SAU because they are a worse option that what he is being suggested.

Can lead a horse to water but holding his head under and making him drink is hard work.

So for an inferior result it is a cheap way to achieve it?

The turbo basically makes the power, why skimp on it?

Just over 1000 for a hypergear or second hand garrett. I know what I would do.

i'm pretty sure there isn't a single turbo manufacturer that doesn't make turbo's in china.....get used to it boys...they're all made there or will be....search around on youtube like i did when looking for a turbo and you'll see all the reason the chinese knockoff turbos aren't good...the hypergear turbo's were the best price/performance option of any i had seen and i settled on a ATR43SS2....i couldn't really afford garrett price $2k+ and i was using a GT3076r as a guide for price $2200 here NZD. i bought my turbo and wastegate for a lot less than that. at a minimum you'll have to re-core your china knock off early and you'd have spent the same already as on a hypergear that you wouldn't have to re-core.

Mate there is nothing legit about this question and you and your septic turbos have proven all of my points having owned 2 of these gastro units! You didnt learn after the 1st turbo & i don't know if you have driven a car with a decent turbo before but if you have you would know they aren't worth their weight in piss! I've driven/owned quite a few big $$$ cars and driven some fleabay racers and i can tell you personally that they SUCK!

A friend of mine only believes in cheap ebay turbo's. Last week he ordered his 4th one, cost him around $130-150,-. The 3rd turbo lasted him about a week before it blew the seals. If you add all the cost he payed so far he's probably way above a good reliable turbo. The 2nd turbo got him a 14.50 sec at the strip and around 20~ish psi, totally useless scrap of metal. With the stock toyota turbo he went faster lol.

That's my 2 cents.

Not true mick o... all 6 and 4 bangers I take it? A 302 with a pair or ebays hairdryers had a shit load of grunt and would fry em at 80 and do high tens. Guess what?! Ebay turbos!

If you don't understand why it worked that way for that engine, then you really don't deserve to be leading this "conversation".

Imagine how much better it would have been with proper turbo(s). All that engine was doing was using capacity to mask poor turbo specification.

/sheesh. Just f**king sheesh.

So?

How about I link you to a whole range of 6 - 6.2 litre Holdens with 2x GT3076 or similar turbo additions and let you compare that EB to them? How do you think a 5L + piss poor turbos will compare to something 20% larger with better turbos?

Your argument is faulty.

    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
    • I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon. 
    • All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
