China Charger Recommendations
Im looking at getting a T28 based turbo for my 1.8 miata, anyone have any recommendations? Brand, specs or performance feed back, Im going for around 225-250 HP.

Hook yourself up with one of these and be happy.

U may want something with both water and oil cooling it will last longer!

Or try to find a used GT2560. That would be great for your goals and you may be able to find one for a few hundred bucks.
|
What about the recent thread discussing the old borg warner S252 and S256 turbos? They sound like good turbos, when you can ffind a used one they seem pretty cheap.

they are an awesome turbo... if you want 500hp. .348 kg/s = ~450CFM |
Who doesn't want 500HP........ooops
|
Now if you were choosing between the 3071 and the S252...
|
Since thread is about chinacharger recomendations I'd say 2871 from godspeed.Though I love my godspeed 3076. If I had to do it all over I'd STILL pick this turbo over anything smaller. Its so smooth, and IMO not laggy at all.
|
How about the 2871 from bell? Anyone have any info on it on how it performs?
thanks, Mike |
I have the 2854 from bell and it is too small. I spike to 15-16 and it tapers off to about 13 by redline. But.... I have had the turbo on my car for over a year, and dd'ed it for about 15k. So no fear. I assume their 2871 comes from the guys that they got their 2854 from.
|
I love my Godspeed T28. Been running it for almost a year now and making baller power :) Link in signature.
Same one as thirdgen posted. |
I checked out the T28 from Godspeed and i also found the exact turbo on another site for $320 also a godspeed product. Where did everyone get theirs from? Direct from godspeed or another vendor?

Hey take a look at this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GT28-...Q5fAccessories Does that turbo look similar to yours dustinb? Maybe the vets can chime in if it would be any good. I do like that it is oil and water cooled although that isn't really a deal breaker either way... If you need a FMIC they have super cheap ones sized right for our cars as well. I know this Chinacharger and intercooler information is already on this forum, but I'll post this to help the OP... |
This is it here:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/GODSPEED-GT28-T28...item5d2d704c53 |
Thanks. I didn't notice the casting difference at first glance. Go with the Godspeed as it has been proven.
|
Who else is running one besides you Dustin ? What was your previous set up and numbers. Did you port the godspeed turbo before install ? Was the flange flat and do they come with oil restriction?
I may have a bum GT2560, so if that is correct, I'll just run one of these while I decide to sell or fix my Garret. Isn't a new Garret CHRA nearly $500 !! |
263HP, 241 Torque @ 14 psi
Looking at your dyno and specs can we speculate ? What would be reasonable for a full 3", no CAT, magnaflow and VVT car give me with that? Maybe another 10-15hp and a bump the curve 100-300 rpm lower when it all starts to get fun ? |

my vote goes towards a used, good condition GT2560R
|
what about e-motor usa chinaturbos?
|
Does the Godspeed 3076 really have a t25 flange or is that just the result of engrish? Because if it is....

However, I think I had a few problems at the dyno that I have now worked out. As soon as I am sure my spark table is 100% det free, I'm going to go pay for three pulls at the local dyno. I'll report back. As of now, go with the godspeed stuff. |
I've had both the:
China 3071 and China 2870 So far, the 2870 is my favourite. Spool is SIGNIFICANTLY quicker and still seems to give me a kick in the back when it comes in. |

I'm running the E-motor 2870 and it put down less than stellar numbers when compared to the godspeed verion.

|
No not really. My next manifold will initially be used with my old garrett 2560. Then if I'm bored I'll swap to the chinese turbo. Lars says the hot side flanges are interchangeable so perhaps I could change them at a dyno day.

This turbo was dynoed by Levnubhin and made 250whp on a Mustang dyno at 15psi on a 1.6. In short, get this son of a bitch now. :cool: |
Noooo China turbos are crappy, and no one should use them.
|
That's not what David Bowie said ......

Cx Racing is said to have some really good turbos out now.

I'm from Canada and so I could only afford Konig wheels......Perhaps I fit the Chinese parts demographic........
Add shipping and soon I'm at $600 for my 2560 rebuild. Being in Canada we pay more for everything except snow... i've also got to wait a few weeks. We only get 6.4 days of summer here. Whats a worn 2560 worth used BTW, $200, or maybe $300 ?? I'm counting chickens before they hatch but it's waivering towards a bad turbo/hot side boost leak...... hmmm options. I don't know why part of me wants to try the godpseed 28 but it does. |
If I could go back to my very first turbo I would have bought the godspeed from the start. I love this thing.
|
I'm getting close to ordering one. The $120 Canadian shipping is a rip though!
