$500 for the cart, then $200 for assembly/balancing/labour.

You MUST get it done by a professional, it's not something you can do in your backyard. So $1500 is about right once you add in the other costs... It's not just a case of a cartridge and you are done.

no i understand that im just wondering if those carts are any good?

Who knows!??!?! :laugh: The fact that its a performance application means i would want to be sure it has 360 thrust bearings etc unlike some of the cheaper std prod car 270deg stuff. I suppose there is only one way to find out....but its a risk. The billet turbo guys claims to be able to re do the Greddy turbos with water cooler, ball bearing centres. I have a spare TD06-20G that was ear marked to have this done.

the rebuild price you have been quoted seems a bit on the high side for 2 plain bearing turbos to me but not far off the mark. I would expect around 12-1300 if the wheels are ok. If you are in sydney try fred at turbologic (port kembla) as he has a lot of experience with the mitsu gear. Also precision at wetherill park is worth a go.

That 2-300 is worth paying as you have local warranty/support.

If you had a shagged comp or turbine it may be worth looking at the ebay turbo. It'll be equivalent to something like hypergear over here except using mitsubishi catalogue bits. For some reason we pay a ridiculous premium on mitsu turbo bits over here.

Not sure what nismoids getting at. buy a cart, it's already balanced, swap on turbine and comp housing (in your back yard even). If you had to pay someone to put the housings on i'd be pretty cheap ~50 a turbo as it really is a 20 minute job.

be careful with these i have had a few customers through (done by large well known performance turbo reman guys) and the cars were never able to match the old numbers.... We had them pulled down and it seem they also used garret wheels (whole garret core) and machined the housing to suit. In these instances the turbos where inferior...... just made a cool spool down noise on shut down :P

I wouldn't trust an unknown company... so i would be getting it rebalanced/checked over here anyway TBH.

Too many people buy stuff over ebay and it comes poorly balanced and so on.

And then x2 that... just to risky for me personally.

Hi,

it comes with MHI bearing housing, compressor wheel, turbine wheel and KAMAK performance thrust bearing kit the strongest kit in the world.

we assembled this CHRA on our Schenck 110 VSR machine.

It is stronger than Greddy one

thats what they said about the item above on ebay?

Being a Mitsu turbo, it should be cheap to get them done, considering you can pick up new CHRA's for under $1000. $500 to fit housings sounds like bollocks to me....

I've had dealings with MTQ and them seem pretty well priced for what I've had.

Also keep in mind that most shops won't give an accurate qoute without eyeballing the turbo.

ive used thier gear but cant say much at this stage, i havent got enough time on the gear to know if its gonna last but i I am testing 2 of their turbos for reliability as we speak :) and ive used their CHRA's without any dramas so far.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
