Monday, September 11, 2006 7:53 PM
I just want to know what you guys think about this turbo I found on ebay :

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330027280175&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX_Stores&refitem=330026646590&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettyp e=osi_widget

A frien of mine use this one on a dodge charger 2.2 turbo, he tell me this turbo run very nice... do you think this could be nice for a 2.2 ecotec?

It dosen't say what brand it is, I would like a better pic of the compressor housing. If it says "xs power" on the turbo, don't get it. Thats a really cheap price though, I would be careful. There was an ebay company called "ssautochrome" that sold turbos for cheap prices, but they fell apart.

Is this turbo a good size for the 2.4L LD9 engine?

I know a lot of people here use a t3 super 60 on there 2.4L..

I have a t3 turbo turbine .48, compressor .42 and want to go with a bigger turbo but don't know wich size to choose.

If you want to figure it out properly without people internet-building your car improperly, draw up a few compressor maps and see what your needs are and go from there.

Best way to do it.

if you are paying 170 for a brand new t3/t4 then you know something isnt right real ones go for around 600. You can find a used t3 super 60 for around 300-400 used in good condition

besides on that page it says it will work with an internal wastegate only so you can forget about that new external wastegate you just bought

Ball bearing turbos are the way to go. Too bad I bought my GT30R from ATP turbo and never got a chance to install it before the BUILT motor started knocking, durring the break in none the less. Machine shop better fix it....

Be weary of cheap turbo's they don't last very long. Your talking about something that spins over 150,000 RPM and gets very very hot.

i have used crappy turbos on a couple of my kits i mean i know they are @!#$ but i havent had any of them blow up. But currently im using a crappy one for my new kit for pure fitment issues then im going to swap out to a garret ball bearing turbo after the rebuild.

DO NOT BUY THAT!!! the turbo you want must say Garrett on it, period.. trust only the best when it takes so much planning and time.. and in a whole kit what is the difference in 200-300 bucks.. I would trust a used one from a 1986-90(?) 300zx over that. They are 0.63 exhaust and 0.60 compressor.. unsure of trim.. my 0.02
