Turbos And Intercoolers From Ebay?

[vladinator]

I have recently upgraded my skyline with full exhaust and electronic boost controller,

I am interested in more power though and am considering in a turbo of capable of higher pressure and FMIC.

There are turbos on ebay for around $300 and FMIC for around $300 aswell, Has anyone purchased 1 or I would like some opinions?

[Spook's_Skyline]

i have an opinion, u get what you pay for

[_8OO5TED_]

the cheap generic 600x300x76mm intercoolers are fine. Im sure LOTS of SAU'ers use them.

a $300 turbo on the other hand, not so great.

Yeah I have been reading on forums and seems that FMIC dont matter 2 much.

But what turbo then 2 buy I dont want 2 fork out 2 much any suggestions??

[sinistaGTR]

whats your power goals dude and yeh there fmic are fine

[_8OO5TED_]

what motor is it? RB20 or RB25?

if your looking to do a turbo upgrade, there are more things to factor in than just a cooler upgrade.

the ecu would need to be modified or replaced, possible injector upgrade, a larger fuel pump, a stronger clutch, air filter upgrade etc etc.

eBay intercooler: fine

eBay $300 turbo: crap, get a hiflow or a respected brand such as garret, hks etc.

i would rather buy a second hand brand name turbo then a brand new Ebay turbo.

$300 for the turbo, then 2 weeks later...$900 for rebuilding the turbo...OR possibly worse if the front wheel went into the engine...

I have RB25, I wouldnt mind 250rwkw, What are the capabilities of stock injectors?

I was told i should be able to get upto 15psi on stock injectors and ecu.

can anyone point me in the way of buying a cooler my skyline, have only had it for around 3 weeks looking for somewhere to buy one, but a decent one

there are items on ebay, and there are items on ebay

some are completely dodgy items :

scams, electronic superchargers for 75HP which are a fan in the intake pipe on an n/a car

those 5HP resistors etc

600HP turbos for $600

not hks apexi nismo greddy tomei ashtray

dodgy traders

then there are good bargains well well know traders and shop "runners"

usually have really high feedback and sell good stuff just cheap

without the added bullcrap of running a normal retail store

choose carefully but remember there are lots of bargains

just be careful, double check, ask, lots of reading and check their feedback

I'd use one of those ebay t3/t4 turbos. I know someone who installs them and hasn't had any major problems.

thanks for the link blitz

for that power you will need

- ECU - PowerFC, wolf, halteck, autronic (to remap fuel etc)

- New fuel pump - about a 500hp internal will be good

- Turbo, not an ebay turbo, a high flowed will be best as it will bolt straight back in so you won't need a new manifold or dump pipe and existing imtercooler

piping can also be used

- intercooler, hybrid are cheap and a decent brand

- injectors (recoomended)

with the injectors they should be able to to achieve that but you will need a new fuel pump and fuel pressure reg.

but keep in mind the duty cycle of the injector will be above 85%, so an injector upgrade will be good to lower the duty cycle.

550cc nismos are a direct replacement

hrms, not too sure if the stock ecu can handle 15psi...

anything over 12+ psi and your in rich and retard territory. though some sau'ers are lucky to get 14psi with no rich and retard on the stock ecu.

just my two cents...

cheers
