Just for a reference my old E-MotorUSA 2870 had the standard 5 bolt flange. It fit perfectly on my begi setup, it just spooled super shitty. I know TurboTim has the turbo now. If you are looking for something cheap you might want to contact him. I don't think he is ever going to end up using it.

http://www.himni-racing.com/index.ph...oducts_id=1925 Nice n cute http://www.ebay.com/itm/Airwerks-Bor...item3cbf25da70 I recommend this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Borg-Warner-...item2c62e528c1 My turbo. They had it listed for $100 less when I bought it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Borg-Warner-...-/190638327270 |
Abe, what did you think about my s300 turbo?
|
For 249,800 more I could have bought a Ferrari.

I was tempted by the "nice n cute" one, but it's not internal wastegate. They're probably all too huge. Remember, I want 200hp right now, with "easy" room for 250-275

Just buy a used 2 bolt tial for $150 and abe can make you a dump. http://www.himni-racing.com/index.ph...oducts_id=1922 That is 46mm inducer. Will spool faster than 2871. Nice big A/R turbie housing. T4 divided goodness if you want to get a twinscroll manifold. Yes it can probably do 350hp but it will also be great at 200hp and you can run all the timing. I can't believe it. Nicencute is FOURHUNDRED DOLLARS. HOW CAN U SAY NO |
Cause nicencute is actually $440 shipped +$150 for the wastegate. $590 is not $300 MAX.
|
I bought my Begi 2870 for 115 shipped.
Gotta shop for deals, old man! |

I've decided not to use the chinacharger when it will require a large amount of fabrication to use. My time is too valuable to ---- around with it. |
Dunno yet, they're shut down on weekends.
It doesn't take a lot of fab work, abe could have done it easily, but I wanted it compatible with other Garretts and I wanted a separated gas downpipe. |
You lost out curly. Lenny boughtnicencute and is now has a turbobthat may spool fast as 2860 and make as much powrr as 2871. He bought it for like 309. U lose
|
Yippie. I'm going to have a $150 turbo and be happy. If I had a $500 I'd most likely be sad and depressed.

I'm turning this into a build thread. Because I can! It'll be a place for me and Abe to dump pictures and such. Hopefully it'll end up as a budget turbo system that's track reliable, for others to follow suit.
The $65 T25 is here, as soon as I figure out which rebuild kit I need then that'll be on the way. Return shipping label has been forwarded to Abe, that was a fail but oh well. Cold side intercooler piping is done, including my unconventional BOV placement. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329194111 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329194111 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329194111 Hot side is mocked up, I haven't cut the 90* pipe to length yet, as I'll have to figure that out once the manifold gets here. At least I can cut some holes in my ducting. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329194111 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329194111 And my proposed filter location, obviously not cut down yet. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329194111 |
Damnit Curly, how did you get them to accept a return on the churbo so quickly? They are putting me through hell.
|
Ugh@Back to back posts, but how did you talk them into taking the turbo back Curly?
Their latest suggestion is to "engore the [t25] flange" to mount the chinacharger, which I assume means to grind out the t25 flange instead of refunding me. |
I called them. They answered after 3 rings, i said I bough it on eBay, and it didn't fit a standard t25 flange. "ok so it's a fitment problem?"
"yup" And that was the conversation. She emailed me a return slip which I forwarded to Abe. It's up in the air as to when I get my money back. |
