those egay turbos are always about one fifty nothing new there. some are good some are bad roll the dice and find out

 

---- that. pay the 650 and get a garret. alot of times cheap ---- ends up costing u more money in the long run. just like a maaco paint job. looks good at the moment but its just a matter of time when the paint starts chipping off. good luck

 

later today i am going to post a thread on the t3/t4 i sell. i put one on my own car yesterday and made 303whp at only 15psi on a D.

mine costs a little more, but i havent had one complaint about them

 

hey scott, what dyno did you use?? how much is it to run?

 

Crackhead prices. Shiity turbos. But $40 for new FMIC aint bad!

 

just buy a used t3 for 250 holeset or garrett and not worry about it

 

---- your avatar is addicting

 

So big, yet so firm... ehem.

I tuned a real 'dirty' CDM setup with that same type of turbo, the owner doesnt give a ---- about it. I think he has ~$1750 into the entire kit/tuning + complete '94 EX. It pulls hard at just 10psi, and that's with the WG dumping directly into the engine bay, right at the stock rad fan.

Its realisticly about a 46trim t3/t04e, or very similar to a super-60(T3)/S-trim(t04b) in a t04e cover; aka a ~350whp turbo no prob. I took my S-trim map and it required just a tad more fuel. I MADE him use a -3an line and a .060" restrictor, and its his daily driver, so we'll see how bad it gets. He's not a reckless driver, but he'll definately push it.


PhilStubbs, do you have the exact dimensions on the inducer/exducer of both comp & turbine wheels of your turbos?
