Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

i had one of those t3/t4 ebay turbos. lasted a good year. till i went n/a. never had a leak. i guess it is one of the one in a million things. also i only ran full syn oil. maybe that helped.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

i have one sitting in my room. i plan on running it to see how long it will last. I plan on runnin a restrictor fitting with a whole size of .059" well see what happens.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

i ran one for about a year with a Function7 restrictor. even with the restrictor the seals failed and smoked like a chimney :S

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Yeah, they're completely hit or miss. I know of one(out of like 5 other ebay setups I know) that lasted over a year, and still going strong.

Talking about gambling. I won $1500 about a month ago playing 5 dollars slot machine, now over this pass weekend I won another $2500 playing $15 dollars slot machine :6

A sphincter says what?

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

typical asian gambler. i have no room to talk!!!

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

If everyone knows these turbos are going to fail sooner than later why are people still buying them and wondering why they failed.

I dont get it you know they are cheap, they are shitty, they will fail. (yet you hope theres a chance yours wont)

Thats like you sticking your dick in a hole in the wall hoping your going to get some hot bitch on the other side of it, but now instead theres a ugly dike with a knife, a donkey or hotrex herpes. Yet your still going to stick it in there anyways.

what the hell is the point of my story??

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

been running mine for almost 2 years now... still in mint shape with no filter on the fucker too :6

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

How is it typical lol

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Ya you would think why not spend another 200 bucks and get a turbo that will last forever. This is a perfect example why our economy has started to become a joke. Support companies that build quality parts in the usa


Even better if you have a problem you get to talk to a guy who has a hand in building it. I doubt you will get ahold of slavelabor in china

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

I think there was a discussion like this already. Anyways china made turbo's don't look so bad. They are made with greddy internals. The reason they are so cheap is because Labor is like 20 times cheaper in China than in the US.I'll probably buy a china made turbo in the next few month's

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

you're an idiot

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Other then the turbos most CDM stuff is pretty good as pretty much everything on the planet regardless of name brand is CDM now anyways.You can always send your SSauto pooper after it dies in a year or two over to Blaast for a rebuild.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Show me these greddy turbo's fall apart links

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Greddy pieces aren't typical chinese stuff. They're designed in Japan but contracted in China under 100 times more stricter tolerances than the typical chinese part. Greddy parts are made IN China, but you don't see the usual lowballer price tag on them. There's a reason for it...R&D and craftsmanship.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

I think I would rather have a used "name brand" turbo rather than a Chinaman turbo. On the other hand they do make the price of decent parts come down to compete which still saves money in the long run. So on second thought yes, tell all your friends to buy them also.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Not really when you think about it. Take as an example AMS...they make a really nice but pretty expensive fmic for Evo 8's and 9's (price tag around $730 or so). Now take in comparison the chinese copy of the AMS fmic...you can usually snag them off ebay for $120-$130 shipped. Physically they look almost identical, but performance wise they're on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Has this dropped the price on a great piece of equipment that has tons of R&D into is, is completely hand fabbed and checked and double checked for fitment and leaks, and uses only the best Garrett cores? Not one bit. The chinese copies use stamped end tanks mated to wimpy bar and plate cores that are better as radiators than IC's, AMS's are fully hand fabbed to their specs around a quality core. They have costs that factor in along with the testing, where as the chinese one's are just slapped together as fast as possible with no thought or care given to fitment or leaks. The people who want the quality equipment know to stay away from chinese crap, and when China's standards are raised to meet that of the US's and other countries, you'll see the price on those nice cheap pieces go way up too.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

I said decent parts not balla parts :P

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

The problem is that china doesnt have the knowledge that we have here in North America or even in Japan. Turbo design need a lot of precision and its the precision that cost money. Cheap labor == no good knowledge and no good knowledge == Fail

Thats why they are so shitty...

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

fixed for you.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Nice contribution to this thread! Btw, for your general knowledge (not bad to have some) Quebec is a part of North america.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

When did he mention Quebec you french canadien piece of polar bear ----

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

I didn't know ALL "french people" live in quebec, just like you self centered faggots to only think of yourselves. Stop sucking the canadian government dry with all your demands because you are "special minority" on the backs of real working people. you=leach

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

canada is not ------- part of u s and a, get the ---- out of this thread

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Where did I say that?

He talk about poutine wich is Quebec related.

Find me when I say that all french live in quebec?

You are very stupid...

And why are you ------- all threads you are in?

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

re read that and tell me I'm stupid again please ::)

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

:y

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

You call us englishies, we call you a frenchy.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Variety spices things up a bit

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

this is why i like this site. i read the title, then the 1st reply, then i scroll down a ways, next thing i read is people arguing about canada and talking ---- about peoples moms


from what i can tell, the only people i see with china turbos around me are ------ retards driving integras with xx-large combat wing and a turbo kit thats spraying oil and leaking exhaust everywhere

there cars usually last aslong as the turbos

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

ive ran 2 of them and have had 0 problems i bought one new and this one on my new car was used! This one i have now does smoke but its never had an oil restructer.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

Ya get what ya pay for.

Re: CHINESE TURBOS LASTING
 

What ive gathered, is it depends on the actual factory it came from..

Search around on alibaba.com . Theres some pritty fuking dodgy factories selling turbos etc, n other ones which look abit more genuine with VSR balancing etc etc etc.


Probly been answered, but what size oil restrictor is good for a non BB turbo..
