Moore2001 ran one for around 100k miles on stock injectors & on hybrids & couldn't kill it. Uncool ran one for a few years as well with the same results. Can't rebuild them because they are kinda a one off setup but for $300-$400 you can buy a spare.
IMO S series is cheap ass too. They are about the same price as an S-366 or whatever.
I would not recommend this Chinese turbo. I bought it for a mock up unit only for a GT4294......It ended up fitting and I just had to try it. As Cat said above I could not kill it, pretty tough unit, just scary to know you are 1000 miles from home on a turbo you WILL NOT find parts for if needed.
I have heard horror stories about this unit (mostly ricers) who probably did not install it correctly to start with. It made 537 rwhp for me.
It ran like a striped azzed ape with that turbo and the auto. Made good hp with 238/100's and survived some mileage. It was a more laggy than the actual GT4594 I am running now.
I only upgraded for the scarcity of parts. I went to an actual Garrett with a bigger exhaust wheel and shaft.....and of course the availbility of parts.
Here is some more detail of it. It looks almost exactly the same as a GT4294r T4, I have built mounts for both.
sounds impressive for a $308(brand new with shipping) turbo this size,i know im gonna run 238cc hybrids and im just researching turbos so i dont have to upgrade again too soon.did it clean up the smoke from the 238/100s?how were the egts?is the mount a t4 style?thanks
Here is a vid of it on the dyno, keep in mind the operator was running a real light load on it to keep my gutless clutch from slipping.
I have one on the street if I can find it. not even a haze left in dd that made 500hp.
I still would like to inform people that this was for mock up only, I was crazy/lucky enough to run it for about 100K miles. I would save up the coin and buy a real Garrett.
id really like to see the street vid in dd if you can find it,especially if it was after the 4r was transplanted!537rwhp run was after that too?not bad at all for a cheap mockup turbo!i was just wondering about thier capabilities,thinking i will probably go with the garrett gt40r.it should do all i need it to.thanks for the insight on this subject,much obliged
