For about 10 minutes and then they seize from what i have heard :D

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

This statement is probably bullshit, just look at all the other high quality SSAC products and reputations :P

They better ------- not. >:( "Someone" convinced me to buy one so I have it strapped to my motor right now. We'll see.... :-\

A couple things that have already pissed me off about it are the oil drain bolt pattern and the downpipe bolt pattern. They are slightly off which requires boring of the flanges. ------- -----.....

Do you have any luck at all?

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

OK ALL here's my experience with those things.
I bought one for my bird and it lasted 5minutes.
The clearancing on the turbine vs compressor housing is way off.

I got a video of what they do.
On Turboford.org tons of people did a group buy on them and out of 55people that bought them 2worked. Then those 2 lasted less than a week.
DON'T BUY THAT TURBO!!! SSAUTOCHROME TURBOS SUCK BALLS!!

The only good thing that comes out of their shop is headers
Basically the turbine sticks to the compressor housing!

Those turbos aren't made by SS but some stupid company from france.
Lemme take a picture of the tag that came on the one I had.
it probably matches all the other ones!

Please post those pics. This bitch might see Ebay before it ever sees oil. >:(

this is the turbo i ran on my si... the guy lied to me pretty much, but since i alread bought it, i decided to try it out. the car ran pretty strong for about a month... then boom went the turbo. when taking the turbo apart, the shaft inside the turbo had broken in half. >:( ... i bet i would've still been turbo right now if i had gotten a better turbo. :'(

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

----, well anybody who is reading this, don't buy any of these turbos off ebay. Mine will be up for sale today. :-\

The sad thing is they sell for $350-$450 everytime.

down2turbo here I come. ;D

wow some real idiots on ebay that keep ss-autocrap in business.

Their headers suck ass, their turbo manifolds crack apart. Go ------- figure that their hybrid turbo would be any good.

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

oh ---- i bought 7 for my ninja

oh wait that was a dream i had sry

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

as luck would have it, i have a dsm friend who is helping ssautochrome develop the t3/t4 and also a stock replacement for the dsm T25. the castings (for the most part) blow major ass. they put to much material in some places, and too little in others. the quality is, however, slowly getting better. they will soon be fixing the castings, and are also trying to figure out the problem of the nut holding the compressor wheel on falling off.

i still wouldnt buy one, but at least they're trying to make them better.

as a side note, he will soon be testing a tial wastegate knock-off from them. that looks like its got some potential, but im not holding my breath ;)

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

Yeah, it's funny how they keep selling ---- when thier feedback is as bad as the ---- they sell. :-\

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

that sucks for you doc, why did you go with the ssautocrap manifold, did you buy after bmc dissapeared or what? at least I was able to indentify your turbo just by looking at the size, I'm getting better.

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
 

haha damn thats classic. thanks for taking one for the team though, ive been waiting for some real experience. even if they did use genuine or high quality housings, who knows what the quality of the center section would be. not to mention if they balanced it properly.

anywho, ive been really thinking about using the ssa manifold IF and only if i can find it for dirt cheap and i brace the hell out of the turbo/wg, placing zero load on the manifold.
