Cheap single turbo

usual ebay,

Would only cost you around £800 deliverd with 1 year warranty, lol

i bet its the usual ebay crap,

click here ebay

im far from 'expert' status, but on a Supra, 'cheap' 'ebay' and 'Turbo' arent words you want to be hearing

you always get what you pay for

now saying that, some members on here have the ebay/ssautochrome/XSpower kit fitted, and it isnt bad (GregSupra4 for example - nice guy, decent turbo kit) - but there are slightly better (and more expensive) turbos out there

you pays your money...

I want to see how more of these turbos do. I know another member going down the SS Autochrome route. Gotta be worth a look for £500 for a full kit delivered

Hmmmm....is it an SS Autochrome job or not.

It certainly looks nice...and it includes a v-band on the turbine exhaust which is a first for them if it is them.

You'd need to buy/make an intake, down pipe, screamer pipe...get the oil line fittings etc...but for £800 you wouldn't expect a "full" kit.

I sorted out a deal with SS yesterday for a full kit for £500 delivered. This was turbo, wastegate, manifold, downpipe, screamer pipe and induction pipe

That is cheap! I want Arnout to do a kit with his manifold and a cheap ebay tubby+wastegate.

Hi All,

Well here we go again this reply is for information only and is only my personal opinion.

A little while ago I bought one of these kits off ebay and was delighted that I had got myself a bargain and was really impressed with the bling, BUT the first thing I noticed was the impeller blades on the intake side were not even, at first I thought this was to balance the turbo but I took it to a good friend who has around 10 years worth experience of playing with turbos and he took the unit apart WOW what a shock I got in a nutshell the unit was in his words "A handgranade waiting to go off"

He set the spindle up on some sort of unit he had in his workshop and with just our eyes alone you could see the thing was not straight.

All in all I sent the whole kit back and to date I have still not had a refund and both ebay and pay pal have been no use what so ever.

So it may have been my bad luck and I just got a one off dodgy kit but the fact that they do not respond to my emails tells me BEWARE.

Yes we have now latched on to SSAUTOCHROME and have done a good deal with them to supply us with kits to the spec we requested plus on the one instance where we were sent a bad unit they replaced it 3 days later without cost.

OK there we are not much help to you but thought I would share my experience.

LMAO, good find

i have heard that orginally the t70 was i dog but have since gone through alot of testing etc and the company as a whole have up there game,iam going to be fitting a t70 and there 2jzgte kit as i have heard the manifolds etc are excellent so worse case i will go buy a bl67 to replace it if it fails at that price mmust be worth giving it ago

also i will be taking the turbo to a local specialist to have it checked out and even re shelled if need be still work out alot cheaper as long as its ballanced right etc

Them pics are about 3 year old although people still pass them about. Try this one it's more up to date http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=295855&page=1&pp=25

LMAO, good find

I hate finding that the cheap stuff is crap, I like getting a good bargain but have to choose carefully. The branded parts (name any jap company) IMO are overpriced, surely good quality can come at a reasonable price, until it does a single is off limits for me.

Great But Do You Have A User Name And Password ???????

An independant test on the Ebay Turbo kit,

interesting stuff

Don't think you can sign up to Supraforums no more. Basically it's someone building and dynoing an SS kit with good results

as i say iam defo going down this route and will be more than happy to show the results once completed and to praise the people involved as someone said quality should come at a resonable price and untill someone gives it ago and lays down some stats then we will never now she should be completed on the road by end of november

Guys, is the link at the top definately an SS Sutochrome kit?? Or another cheapish kit? How can you tell which it is...a T62-1 is a better turbo that the T70 from SSA.

of the four turbos we got here from ssautochrome or xsengineering there were three broken. One is still doing fine. Not bad 25% If say of every four girls I speak with I land up in bed with one....

Lol - Arnout - always trying to turn the conversation to women...no bad thing...but how do you have enough time to work on cars

when did you get these turbos as they supposed to have done alot of work to them recently

Hi guys,

My two pennies worth......

SSAutochrome they are GREAT turbo is a flier and everything looks brill...

Had no problems with fitting went on sweet as a nut, been running really well on stock ECU, stock injectors. Been running at 1.2bar now done around 3500 miles and still going strong, we have stripped the turbo to check it and there are no marks, no problems put it all back together and its still running great.

So now as the kits are doing well I have put together a deal with them to supply

TURBO FIT UK LTD with the kits for the supras and skylines.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 9th well at least in my rear view mirror..........

Now spoken to Gregsupra4 and we will pull one of the new T70s (from SSautochrome) apart and let you know what we find.......
