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.

 

yuck chinacharger fail.

For $300 more curly you could have bought a new borg s200sx.

 

Link Fae?

My turbo. They had it listed for $100 less when I bought it.

Abe, what did you think about my s300 turbo?

 

For 249,800 more I could have bought a Ferrari.

 

where is your 800hp dyno sheeeeet brah?

 

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

 

uHHH OMG you are making me sad

Just buy a used 2 bolt tial for $150 and abe can make you a dump.

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!

 

What's the process you went through to get refunded, Curly?

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.





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.




And my proposed filter location, obviously not cut down yet.

 

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.

 

Calling time then.
