I asked a simular question when i 1st came on this site about the cheaper turbos and soon got drilled about it. Obviously by putting one of these turbos on he would be running his engine at risk. However ive also watched a lot of vids of youtube with the yanks and there ebay turbo engine builds (mainly on honda civics). some last a year or so and some dont. Mafia also said to me that most of these turbo only last one or to runs on the dyno then they blow oil seals.

If ur mate does decide to go ahead with this turbo then atleast msg other ebay users who have bought it and ask them what its like, preferably the buyers who bought it a while ago so they can tell u if the turbo is still running ok or shat itself

There's nothing wrong with trying a cheap turbo, but putting one on while you wait a week or two for your genuine Garrett to arrive is simply retarded.

It's one of the silliest things I've read on here thus far. And I read most of NewB's inane bullshit!

how is it $700 on a temp turbo ive told him not to do it but he is and will be putting it on the dyno

It's going to cost a solid $50 to post, he'll likely need different oil/water lines and a dump pipe. Then there's fitting and/or tuning.

$700 is likely a conservative estimate.

OMG im not a newb and its a direct bolt on for all the lines and dump pipe even the factory cooler piping fits and its $426 delivered

his turbo is 2 weeks away then a further 2 weeks for the exgate and to modify the stock manifold then a week for the dump pipe so after he sells the stock turbo for 250 or so its only 150 more to try a turbo for a few weeks

yeah ill tell him pretty sure his gonna do it

at the end of the day theres plenty of people using ebay turbos

ie kando and i remember when taos turbos first came out they were only sold on ebay and i remember 5-6 years ago people were worried about them and saying the same stuff but now look most people swear by them

Kando, made in Japan using Mitsubishi components. Hyper gear, made in Australia alot of testing. China turbos, made from cheap, inferior components, not tried, hardly tested and not proven. People aren't giving you or your mate shit about turbo choice, no, it's the whole idea which is horrible and an utter waste. a proper turbos compressor wheel cost as much as that Chinese turbo cost to cut out of raw material. You want to tell me they are reliable? Imagine what the core looks like.

I recon if your mate did do this, he will have the Garrett in his hands before this China turbo is running and tuned on his car.

And it's not a direct bolt on, you are going to need a new hot pipe or silicone bend.

My opinion in 3 points:

- I would probably try that turbo for the lulz factor of it possibly being very good (it seems to be a completely custom turbo).

- I would NOT buy another turbo for ANY reason if I already had one on order.

- YOU MUST GET IT TUNED.

K I'm done.

lol ill ban them all :P nah its just a forum joke, some forums even have a smiley that holds a sign saying 'pics or ban'

like when someone says 'just fitted my te37s' you say 'pics or ban'

you said '280kw $400 turbo just got off the dyno' i said 'pics or ban'

yeah all good hahaha but yeah i went in his car and omg it was impressive for a $400 turbo he has been giving it a really hard time and no signs of wear of shaft play YET but we will wait and see

come on guys lets see some more people try this if i was goin to get a gt3071 again or a highflow i would snap this up

EVERYTHING bolted up once he removed his stock turbo 100% no problem at all just needed a new silicone bend but thats it

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
