Unboxing my ChinaCharger
9 Attachment(s)
FedEx just arrived leaving me with my nifty new chinacharger - no shaft play, spins well, fit n finish looks good. Next I will take it apart and inspect it all.

Are the second two images not working for anyone else?
Have you verified dp flange fitment? |
Also in to see if it has the offset downpipe bolt fitment. Also where did you get?

Have you verified dp flange fitment? Yes dp flange alignment is right on. I was worried about that! |

impressive. Is this going on a known Garrett flange? Like something from Abe, FM, or Begi?

Us, he means. Tempted to order this, but at $400, I may as well go for a genuine turbo.

I'm glad to see it's a Godspeed, and even happier that it's journal bearing. If this was a china ball bearing unit, I would say "enjoy your first 200 miles, cause they're going to be your last 200 miles".

Compared to the Begi JDMSport turbo....I like Begi more.

It looks like you are going under the lights with the inter-cooler piping? I haven't seen too many like this but it made sense to me also. http://i578.photobucket.com/albums/s...3/P1020677.jpg |
Hey guys, I am currently running a JRSC M45 and am thinking about going turbo. This is a link to a Godspeed on Amazon, is it junk?
I have a OBX header that seemed to be of good quality, could the same be said for their turbo manifold? http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-Racing-T...item1e6b1d1b9e I notice that some of the (Greddy) have the oulet horizontal vs this one being at an angle. What difference does this make in deciding what turbo to buy and differences in installation? Any and all thoughts and help on this stuff is appreciated. |
The turbo looks fine, no promises on the dp flange fitting, but it looks fine. The manifold is junk. The difference between a header and a manifold is the manifold needs to support the weight of the turbo, so the design needs to be better and stronger than a cheap header.
|
whats up with the elephant man compressor housing?
|
It's ftw.
|
keep it goin!
|
took me long enough but the turbo is in the car. Sorry fro the crappy pictures it was dark out when I took them with my phone. Ignore the funky oil feed line, I could not use my origional setup due to different threads so I came up with this for a temp solution.
DP fit fit perfect!! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64840776/201...3-26-12_94.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64840776/201...-25-59_313.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64840776/201...3-26-44_93.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64840776/201...-26-53_946.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64840776/201...-26-19_948.jpg |
are you seriously running a rubber oil feed line? oh boy

ok gotcha. didn't read just looked at pics:giggle:
|
i read but still dont like lol because all gearheads know you never like doing things twice so temporary turns to permanent and then it breaks
|
how is it running so far.... I'm a bit scared to buy Chinacharger....
|
I've only started it and checked for leaks. I'm waiting for my wide band to come in before I start the tune. Next weekend will be the test. Perhaps I may get to drive it this year
|
keep up the good work man
|
So, is there any progress to report? Having no prior turbo experience, I too am curious about how this chinacharger performs and lasts.

|
Update: it's not blown up yet. have had the turbo for a while now. still holding up. no oil leaks, hitting boost just fine. I finally got a decent base tune in my xede so I can start pushing it harder.
