I'd love to see some results and feedback on these.....but chances are no one's going to brave enough to slap these junk on their pride and joy, so we probably won't be seeing any results any time soon.

Is anyone here brave enough?

im hangin to see results, be a laugh if a few pp bought them n every1 started catchin and the price went threw the roof... n they alledge they use the same machines as Garrett how bad can it be? i mean if i jumped the counter at maccas and made a burger i dont think it would turn out a horrible mess...

Bought a cheap shit turbo a couple yrs ago of ebay and put it on my Ca 180sx, lasted about 5000k's then the oil seals completely seperated. All i can say is pay the bit extra for somthing decent...

Any workshop that uses ebay chinese t04e's on customer cars is dodgy I cannot stress enough how many shortcuts are taken to make them (low grade metals, poor balancing)

i PM'ed a guy on ebay about 1 of the afore mentioned turbos his response:

hey there yeah its a good quality t3 turbo it didnt bolt straight on to my r32 skyline i have to get a dump pipe with an external waste gate flange.ive taken the turbo to workshops who specialise in turbos they said it will have twice the power as my standard turbo an i will be able to run 25 pound boost.cant wait to give it a thrash lol.

Just to be sure, I hope no one is taking my above comment seriously.

As LBR33 stated STAY AWAY FROM THESE TURBOS! They are poorly made, and will almost surely damage something in your engine.

+1

The photos above i posted are from the turbo running for about 10 secs

This made me laugh.

i brought one of these, i did a little bit of research before i did, i thought nah ill be alright.

then before actually fitting it i did heaps of web searching and about 80% said stay the f**k away.

so i sold it and brought a garrett.

if you cant afford a good quality turbo(my 3040 was 2nd hand so i got it a lil cheaper anyway) just keep it stock or go hi-flow unless you want to be stuck with no car until you can get all the scrapnel out and afford a rebuild.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
