- Theres a lot of turbos out there, some cheap, some expensive - some good, some not good. When you're buying a turbo for your car, or more importantly - the truck you use to make a living; its important to know that you can trust the turbo you choose to get the job done for many miles to come!
If you need a turbo for your Cummins ISX, Detroit Series 60, Caterpillar C15, 3406E, or Acert - We're your guys!
literally just got my turbos yesterday and noticed some of the material missing from the blades an started to freak out lol so this video came in clutch, thank you
China has been producing good quality items for a lil while now. Im highly against overpriced goods especially turbos.
Pulsar?
These cheap copied parts specifically turbos, have a place, and that place is on crap built solely to have fun and thrash on. It really doesn't matter how balanced or unbalanced one of these hair dryers is, you don't want to put one on something like a dream car that you've spent years planning and building. On the other hand if you're putting together something to go make stupid numbers on a dino, or just a fast fun hotrod with a junkyard Ls and more zip ties than actual fasteners. These cheap parts while absolutely being intellectual property theft, offer an entry level price point that allows people in this community access to forced induction that didn't exist when I was coming up. And getting into a turbo build forces you to learn about everything else that goes with it and that's cool
I think full cartridge balancing is more important for a ball bearing turbo than a journal bearing turbo. I say that because a ball bearing turbo has the turbine shaft pressed through the bearing inner races and they will spin with the rotor group. In a journal bearing turbo, nothing spins attached to the turbine shaft, so it should be adequately balanced provided it is assembled properly to the match marks.
My vgt to non vgt turbo kit fit amazing on my x15.. thanks again!
Thanks for showing the balancing process!
Nice 👍 bro thanks, I need a turbo for my 14L detroit, I will get it from ebay/ $608 from California/ Chinese quality/ good luck to me 😂😂
Did it last thinking of buying the same 1
Maxpeedingrods turbo any good? T6 s475 specifically lol
Had some k04 001 upgrade turbos on my 1.8T. don't expect them to hold together longer than a year
Had a maxspeeding rods ko4 turbo on my old 1.8t and it lasted as long as i had the car. My stock transmission blew before the turbo did
@@rudydaberry122 how long was that, i am thinking of getting one a K04-001 what power did you make with what mods, i have high flow manifold and all stage 2 parts on ibiza 20v
Yeah maxspeedings rods is the goto brand for china chargers. Ran a 2871r on my civic for 4 years
I have a Ford Taurus with a bad rear turbo.. Are Dorman turbos any good??🤔
Do you guys have a 364.5/74mm SXE? With 3rd gen ram compressor cover?
Which exhaust housing did you need? Send us an email, we have a few in stock. Info@momentumworx.com
@@momentumworx I just need a super core. I already have the diesel power source turbonator exhaust housing I’m going to reuse. . I’m getting turbo surging at low rpm towing. 18-28psi at 1850 rpm
I was guided to the 64.5 over the 66 as it seems the compressor map would suit my needs better?
what about k04-001 maxspeedingrods anyone had issues with them?
Any review on the maxspeeding rods turbos?
Would they require balance?
I’ve had a maxpeedingrod turbo for 3 years that’s dual ball bearing and has holes for coolant and oil lines, since it’s dual ball bearing I’ve only had the oil lines connected and never ran a coolant like to it. Runs fine and haven’t had a issue I do warm the car up before every drive and let it cool down before turning it off after every drive as well
I just did a teardown and comparison between the MXR journal bearing and new ball bearing turbos. To me, the new turbos look to be on par with an old Garrett GT series turbo in general with some more modern features and better materials. Their basic journal bearing turbos are fine, especially for the money, but it's most important to have good oil supply and return. I think the vast majority that die early are due to improper oiling. They should come balanced, journal or ball bearing, but no way to be sure without checking. Don't put a cheap turbo on a high dollar build, but I think they are good value on a cheaper project.
I have e90 320d m47 2005 model which chinese turbo would you recomend for it?
yeah its all good until the compressor disintigrates from shit casting practices and centrifugal force. never mind it being balanced is it a solid part.
I am a turbo seller in my country. I pay for them to be manufactured in China and they are of high quality and I have never had a problem with them and each turbo is perfectly balanced and has high quality.
What do you know about stigan turbos?
Somebody did buy a costel turbo? Is it a good choice? Is for a 1.4 tsi ea211
Hy. Nice video. You know the costel turbo brand from china?
Do you sale the gt35 gen 2 with bullet wheels
I bought a MAHLE turbo off eBay from Germany and one of the turbine blades has a strip of its coating missing along one of its radial edges. It looks like it’s chipped off rather than machined off. It’s a rectangular shape strip of coating that is removed. Is it possible that the missing material is due to it being balanced? there’s no material removal on the nut. I don’t know whether to send it back for a refund or not. I have a picture
Thats a balanced part I've seen it b4
Set me up with a kit for acert bxs. 550 hp
