JDM sports T-70
Has anyone bought one of those t-70's from that JDM Sports guy on ebay? if so how are they?(quality)

I think you would be better sending this question to 2 or 3 of the people who have bought it from him on his feedback list. Most people seem to stick with stockers or upgrade the stock turbo here.

how much power can u get out of the stocker though?

I made 250 with a stock ECU (piggybacked), medium streetport, and stock S5 turbo on 9psi. With all the other possible bolt ons of course.

well my goal is around 420-460ish and I think a t70 will do it but I wanna know how good they are cause there is a guy on ebay (jdmcarrier) salling them for like $300.
|
Im a FIRM believer in "you get what you pay for" If your goal is roughly 450 I would suggest this turbo from Garrett http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...2_452232_5.htm
Granted, your spending quadruble on this turbo then this T70 you speek of, but its doual BB and a GARRETT. |
go BNR stage 4.
|
i wouldnt cheap out on a turbo..look around, research, determine how much power you want and can afford..etc
|
take a look at this thing n tell me what u guys think....here's the link

i think something that cheap must be made in CHINA or KOREA. In either case I expect to see that turbo melted after 2-3 runs. Buy it but be prepared to replace it soon after you buy it.
Look, if you wanna buy cheap ass shit for your car then sell your turbo 7 and get a honda or a 240sx. you'll end up destroying the motor or car by trying to find cheap crap to make your car FAST. pick 2 of these: fast reliable cheap if you insist on buying that POS turbo then please spare the 7 and buy another car. for the last time: Go with a BNR stage 4. |

naw, you get two. You just like being impossible 13B. You can find some high quality parts for a decent price if you look well enough. Once you start looking at $200-$300 performance parts then you're in the cheap material territory which only gives you more headaches. I thought I was being cheap when I was looking at the $600-$700 BNR upgrades.
I'd never buy the $15 quick release hubs that ebay sells either. I seriously feel like you'll end up with the wheel in your hand mid-turn. now imagine if your turbo melts while coasting downhill with a backdraft!! don't buy cheap stuff because it is most likely of lower quality. |
I have used them a couple times with no problems and so have a couple of my friends. Sure you can spend thousands and have the turbo say garrett, but you can make some damn good HP with a cheap turbo as well.
If you are interested, I actually have 2 BRAND NEW T70's sitting around. I woudl seel you one a little cheaper... $250 plus shipping |
No. Once you make these cars fast, you can forget reliability. Maybe we just have different concepts of fast. 400+whp = reliability out the window.
|
I was thinking 300hp BNR stage 2 with plenty of fuel(more for safety), oil changes every 2500 miles, adding oil every 1000 miles, checking all fluids and hoses regularly= reliable.
and even a 600hp race engine will out last similarly powered piston engines. So, I still you're being impossible. I think what YOU mean to say is: "once you make these cars faster they tend to be more high maintenance and more likely to break down if not taken care of properly." |
Yea yea whatever lol. Either way things start breaking alot easier when you're putting 400+hp through a 20 year old drivetrain. :)
|
its a garrett compressor housing...
but who knows about the Centre section, and if its all balanced correctly.. theres certain knock off parts you can go with and you'll be safe... ( i went with the stainless manifold and wastegate off ebay) and theyre holding up fine. but i bought a genuine garret turbo. i didnt want to test my luck on buying something off ebay that turns at something like 100,000rpm ... its just not worth it.. |
yea I had a t3/t4 I bought on ebay that lasted me almost a year of straight beating it n one I got from garrett that lasted me 5 weeks, but then I got a turbo timer on ebay that lasted me 4 days so go figure, I think is smart to pay for quality cause most of the time is worth it, but not always true, one can get lucky every now n then w cheapos, thats why I wanted to know if anybody had been using this turbo so I can get some feed back
:dunno: |
