oh that's crazy. did you measure stuff before you put it in? i know Levnubhin got a turbo once he though was a 2860 size and ended up being like a 2876.

I made sure the turbo i got had all the wheel size specs so i knew what I'd be getting my hands on. I confirmed the measurements once i got it.

The comp wheel is smaller than a 2560, I compared a 2560 wheel to the CXracing wheel, didn't measure - cxracing was "taller" than the genuine 2560, but the 2560 was "wider" than the cxracing. It's the same turbo as has been discussed in this thread, however.

It's balls awful spool-wise though, I've only reached 10psi by ~4500ish rpm. TERRIBLE turbos. It spools like it's a 30xx turbo, not a 25xx - and yet, it only has the power of a 25xx turbo.

I never installed this. It had a weird downpipe flange. I think a t3 but not sure, 5 bolts but not t25. Anyway if anyone wants to buy it let me know. It has a bigger compresion wheel than the t25 for sure and the wasted gate seems well designed but other than that I dont know

While I'm on this....

It's removing fuel from the T25G-cells in autotune/running richer. This means it is producing less power on the same cells, correct Brainy?

yep.

Well, ---- me. So it's a power-downgrade in the same cells, and it takes for ------- ever to spool up then.

what about top end? did you have to add fuel?

which one specifically did you get?

The item in the OP, http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Design-T...item3f0441846f

As for the top end, it's removing fuel from the top-end as well, but the top-end is way higher psi than the T25G ever ran, so it was still running your basemap.

I'm just going to pick up a 2560 in the future and go full ArTech, it's not worth this headache imo.

What did u have before? .86 a/r turbine is why its slow. Can not swap turbine housing if same?

Turbine Housing isn't possible to swap.

I'd have to get ahold of a turbine -and- turbine housing from a standard T25 or something in order for it to even have a chance of working sadly. The turbine has little to do with any T25 turbine.

Huh, sounds like a dodged a bullet. I ended up loosing $40 on this thing with shippIng charges, and Abe wasnt impressed with it's build quality. The flange it came with looked down right shitty.

And now I have a turbo thats at least at 5psi well under 3000 rpm :) see my build thread for what you're missing.

:vash: Cuurrllly...Yeah, I'm just going 2560 later. This'll work for now.

I was wrong, full boost by 2700rpm, 5ish psi as low as 2380rpm. Found a old Greddy log and I was hitting the same 150 map pressure by 3000, so I gained 300. This is a much better downpipe and wastegate setup.

Wow, and that's journal bearing?

(Edit) You sonofabitch, that's a T25G you are running? :vash:

Yeah, I'll just go 2560.

Fawk you Curly.

E-mail sent to Abe. 2560 and ArTech downpipe/exhaust incoming in the next few months.

:vash: You talked me into spending more money I didn't want to spend on the Miata Cuuurrrrlyyyyyyyyyy!

Eh? It's an SR20 T25, whatever that means.

Edit: Lol. The power of MLV.

Yeah, got rid of my previous T25G Curly thinking this Chinacharger was an upgrade. It wasn't.

How about the Shanghai ones Begi uses? It seems not all chinachargers are built the same?

This chinacharger is turbo #3 for me. I'm just buying OEM new garrett, some people have luck with these used turbos and chinachargers, I'm not one of them.

A Chinacharger performing more poorly than originally expected? Color me unsurprised.
