HE checked it all its pretty easy to check as he has the afm in the cooler piping

so he is checking it to make sure its all good

looks pretty perfect cant complain for the price as it didnt cost extra to bolt on and made the same power less 3-4kw of his gt3071

i ran a poorly built monsta t3 about 5 years ago lasted 3 and a half yeaers on 17psi before i sold the car and upgraded ive seen alot of people run turbos off ebay there seems to be more people having problems with cheap inlet manifold and highmounts over turbos

but this turbo doesnt look like many people on here have tried it YET :)

It sounds too good.

He bought an eBay turbo, with a tune for a completely different turbo, bolted up perfectly and ran it, WITHOUT TUNING IT, and made 260rwkw. That is more power than I am making at the moment with a bigger turbo, more boost and a full tune.

he has been giving it a really hard time and no signs of wear of shaft play YET but we will wait and see

lol @ checking for wear and shaft play after less than 24 hours of it being installed... :rofl2:

MOST AWESOME POST EVER ON SAU. Nearly pissed myself laughing

Yet he's considering spending what will likely end up being ~$700 on a temp turbo?

WTF?

Cutting spending on education clearly isn't working. Then again, someone has to fit my tyres....

For the moment, have to call bulls***, as much as i'm for a good cheap deal, this one seems too cheap and too good, and the graph looks like it was done with excel....

If he's actually done it, f*** yeah and well done. full tune and more boost should make ~300rwkw? Good work.

hahaha excel i dont even know how to use word lol

its all legit nothing has been done to alter the reading its a real dyno read from his car with this $400 bolt on turbo

i guess everyone can say what they like at the end of the day its not my car

he wanted to test it and its proven to be really good

y dont others off here try the same if you doubt it

after all its only $400 and could always sell the turbo to the guys on calaisturbo or r31 club

i wonder who else s face palming them selves arfet a 400 turbo tuned for a different turbo makes decent power

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
