Turbo specs

[sharkey]

a buddy of mine was running a generic e-bay turbo from e-bay on his b18 swapped civic hatch. it lasted over a year at 15 psi before it started smoking. the best thing asbout it was it was such a close rip off of a garret that it could be completly rebuilt with garret parts.

yeah man,it wont actually lag that bad,its a t3 hotside, now if it had a t4 .81 hotside it would prolly not build boost till 2nd gear,assuming u have a 5 speed car

u would be surprised, but alot of those ebay turbos are made form garrett and turbonetics parts,while others arent, but parts interchange between them all

robert let me know how long it takes u to get that turbo shipped to u, im either going to be getting one from ebay, or directly from an xs-power rep that i know depending on how long shipping takes

But be aware that Garrett parts are neutrally balanced, the ebay ones are balanced as a unit.

This means if you use parts from two different mfgr's, it will have to be re-balanced. If you interchange Garrett parts for Garrett parts no balancing should be needed.

yeah any time u change a turbine shaft/compressor wheel it shoudl be rebalanced. if rebuiling the turbo the compressor and turbine wheels should be reasembled in the orintation that they came apart in to keep things within balance

I was under the impression that the comp wheel and turbine were balanced individually on the Garretts.

i had a money order in the mail before noon on the 30th, so i'll have to be sure to remember...i remember people telling me it usually takes 3 days to ship so however long it takes to get my money order to them + 3 days would be a good number

[ForcedFirebird]

Because the ebay turbo parts go by XS Power, lol.

[robertisaar]

it has arrived... in a beat up box(thanks a lot DHL) and the exhaust gaskets a little beat up but other than that it looks fine. they got little plasic covers over the inlet/outlets.

[boostedrs]

not bad pretty fast actually considering u paid with a mo,
pics?

[robertisaar]

my camera sucks so that won't happen. measured everything with dial calipers and it all seems to be right.
