iruvyouskyrine Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Changing a 25 turbo isn't that hard providing you have a short spanner for the dump nuts/bolts and one for the rear housing nuts. If it's your first time it will be harder though.

Ben C34 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I know that it's not hard. But changing out shit busted parts is never fun. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449314-attn-ebay-gt3037-users/page/2/#findComment-7401763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairdryer33 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Still have yet to have a serious convo on here lol I know some are better than others (turbos) but surely someone must of had a good run with the china gear?! A 9sec blue vlt in soom some time ago used a ebay manifold and that was still running fine after 40+ hard passes and 1000s of ks. My old gas turbine project was fine at 25psi and 630deg c. Let the haters hate and the metal fragments fly!

Ben C34 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 At least you are approaching it with a good attitude! A guy in adelaide turbo'd and El falcon with an eBay spec turbo. Worked for him. Does that help? Unfortunately I don't think that you will find much info on them.

hairdryer33 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah it does thanks ben. Ive got a hell of a lot of mags (friends own a newsagency) seems about mid 2000s everyone from the nissans to ford 250s were into the china gear, some still are given 300+ people have bought the gt35 copy from ebay. Yolo I say so at least I can try 2nd time round and when it blows just get a garrett.

Ben C34 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I don't know the dude, just chatted at the track. He mentioned that they are ok when you find the good ones. Which I imagine us hard to do. I remember his turbo on the comp cover said "turbocharger" which I thought was funny. Maybe that's a clue to the good ones?

hairdryer33 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 I watch a video the other day, a drift teams was using an cheap turbo so yeah occasionally there maybe a good one amongst the crap ones. The hunt is on, let the haters hate! Also going ebay wg shock horror! Im running a ebay boost controller, intercooler, pipe work, plenum and exhaust. Hell I should just put a massive sticker on "sponsored by ebay" haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449314-attn-ebay-gt3037-users/page/2/#findComment-7402112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JezR31 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 When the ebay turbo shits itself, you might be able to buy a BB Garrett core and use your comp and exhaust housings. Cheap GT35.

wildeagle44 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Old 180sx pig had china Stainless manifold and china t28. Manifold lasted 2 drift days before cracking and the turbo had more shaft play than i was comfortable with over the same period. Do it once do it right.
