Re: chinese t3/t4
Don't underestimate the power of Ebay, lol.
speedfactory (local shop) runs their ebay SS t3/t4 at 29lbs.
Engine:
Stock bore, stock sleeve D16Y8
75mm Vitara cast pistons, small-bolt Eagle rods
Stock port D16Y8 head with Skunk2 valvesprings & retainers
Zex 59300 cam
Skunk2 IM and Thermal IM gasket
60mm H22 TB
SpeedFactory 2qt. Catch can
9100rpm revlimit
Turbo setup:
Ebay 57trim T3/T04E .63a/r
Mini-ram manifold
3" dp and exhaust
Ebay Intercooler
Greddy Type-S BOV
Greddy Profec B EBC
They rock ebay ---- to records.
Current Best Performance: 10.4 @ 138mph
10.5 @ 139mph
471whp/356tq @ 29 psi
UPDATE: After 2 years we finally had a piston failure due to a possible failed injector on cyl#4. We will be rebuilding another stock sleeved vitara motor with some major changes to the setup in hopes of attaining 510+WHP and low 10's with mid-low 140's trapspeeds. STAY TUNED!

Re: chinese t3/t4
The last Ebay 57 trim I saw had a Garrett bearing housing! The unmistakable "A" was etched into it. I think they can't make their own bearing housings, so go with Garrett. I looked inside and it had Chinese internals and didn't have a compressor housing o-ring lol. It's still sitting in a box unassembled as I'd never run one, but I was curious as to what it had inside.
