hey i just got my af61r...now i have seen pictures of it...and i do nt ever recall JOHN DEERE being on any of the housings....on my turbo that i recieved...its everywhere!!! did i get the wrong turbo??????

 

I already told you in the DR forum. If you've done any research on this turbo you would know that the logo needs to be grinded/sanded off.

You recieved the right turbo.

 

sorry prolly over looked on the visual part...was mainly looking into specs...ill talk to u in the dr thread

 

its the turbine housing

I have a GT42 turbo (display only)
that has "CAT" casted on the compressor housing

AKA caterpillar tractor

 

Like I said before, if you don't want it. Plenty of people are waiting for them to come off backorder

 

hey hey hey...i never said i wanted to give it up...like i told u b4...u will have to pry it from my dead cold fingers....bc its mine and u cant have it...lol

 

Yeah most turbos come from tractors or diesels, the markup on a turbo is just outrageous.... so yes, John Deer, Cat, Schwitzer, etc... HKS, Greddy, etc... they just rebadge them and charge even more!

Realistically you can get a turbo identical to a T51r for 1/2 the price, but it wouldn't be a vband setup, it would be a T4 or T6.

Mine was ground off, but its all the same. I dont think there is room for me on the dyno today, my 21 psi numbers will have to wait. =P

 

 

define "need"

 

i would leave the john deep on, just to turn some heads

 

Delete this

 

^oops thats me.....signed in over at my g/f's brothers house.
Define "Troll"

 

you

 

lol i agree delete this thread...i was just stressing..bad day...yea i actually do plan on keeping the logo on there, i kinda think its funny...lol...its definatly going to get some questions..lol maybe even start a trend and get the john deere logo a fixture in the car world...LOL! that would be a little extreme...but funny...

 

Show me where I instigated any argument. I will defend a product i know and believe in against any hollow and empty claims from E-thugs that think they know something cause BDC said so. I have seen the facts on this turbo and the process on how its built. I know why its marketed as an AF61 D-R specific turbo. You do not cause you will not listen to the facts on this turbo. You need to understand that you can't listen to someone who did not build it or know what parts are in it. i know that if i want to learn about something specific......I GO TO THE SOURCE.....if i don't know I'll ask someone who has a direct connection with what i'm wanting to know about. You seem to learn by proxy.

 

nothin runs like a marked up deere!

 

Except your shitbox. :roll:

 

when you started talking **** about the facts i pointed out.

and **** bdc! he's whining about it being an s300.. i don't give a ****. i'm concerned with homeboy claiming 82% efficiency when he's never seen a compressor map. not to mention he's misleading people left and right. i got my impression of this thing from darren's car and the bullshit that has been spread.

hey, ebay manifolds are great for the money, but he could have at least used a newer one with the thicker flanges, or thought about having to cut the strut tower to fit the thing in.

hell, call me crazy, but MAYBE he should have tested this thing himself, before he sold it and avoided all this crap.

 

My flanges were fine.....i was informed when purchasing thekit that i'd have to dent my strut tower....OH WELL didnt' hurt anything.....its a small dent. I always ask about everything before i buy something....its called SMART SHOPPING.....if the product won't hold up as advertised i return it.....but you know what....it did and i love it.

 

What facts....maybe i can put your assumptions to rest or if i can't someone can.

He's not the only person that doesn't have to test it to know it works there are other HIGHLY reputable companies marketing turbo's that haven't been tested.

 

what assumptions? i stated facts.

 

Make a list and PM it to me i'll get you the answers. And after i get your response i'll post the list and your response.

 

gather them up from the last few threads yourself.

 

Are you claims that weak that you won't fight to prove them right....when the cold hard truth is just 11 pushes of a button away.

 

it's not me that's making claims they can't prove
