I’m using their gt35 and so far so good it gets the job done all I can say is the journal bearing does take more revs to get up an go the Garrett35r I had spooled Up more quicker but for now it has to do but I’ve beat the crap out so far and it’s doing ok…all the fittings from my old setup is working as well
@@peterflores8079 still works quite well bro it’s basically a budget turbo to use for tuning or whatnot…is it the best turbo out there NO but it has proven numbers for you to get into the game or for temporary use while you save for a better brand…you seriously can’t beat $150 big turbo
Ive seen claims that from what I gather, these off brand turbos seem to hold up in making mid range power, 400-500hp. Im very broke and I will be boosting my bird in the future so Ill be going with them lmao.
I've personally used both the ebay gt30 and gt35. For years. I usually get about 2-3 years on each easily on low boost under 20psi. I have rarely pushed them hard and have never used them past 15k miles. I've only ever had 1 fail in under a year. I would recommend not running a restricter and use the biggest drain you can find.
@@alitoroganan2442 they are close in spec and the spool is fairly decent. I have a mitsub 2.4l 4g64 block/4g63 head. I've also ran the gt30 on my honda b18 build on e85 and was nasty on top end
@@victormontanez8393 im thinking of running thier gt30 on my k20z1 with. 63 hotside and just wondering how the spool up, anyways bro appreciate your time
I have there 28 on my car running shy of 400 and I absolutely kick it's head in. Been on the car 2.5 years and the car is abused beyond what it should be. I'm now bored so upgrading to the 30 and going from 630cc injectors to 875 and I hope the 30 is as reliable as the 28
The Maxspeedingrod turbo is basically the good old T3/T04E converted to a GT30 turbine wheel in a 0.82 vs 0.63 turbine housing. Not sure it would have any real advantage over the classic T3/T04E, maybe only in small engines that is greatly oversized like for example a Honda D16 it may give a slightly better spool
Good side by side comparison, you are correct its not a direct copy of the garret, it is a Hybrid version of a GT30 Journal bearing turbo unlike the Garret's dual BB design. It would be nice to see it in action on one of your cars. Also, the housing size is .82AR
429? lol all that work and ass load of money for 200 more than stock? Dosnt seem right! Don’t get me wrong I appreciate the build and respect the game, but doesn’t seem justifiable lol
I tired one of these and it felt like my car was slower so when back to my gt60 I bought from you and never looked back. =)
quality piece

...I'd be careful basing an entire setup around the fitment/expectations of one "questionable" item when funds are already low.
I found something way more realistic. Going to get a summit brand turbo. They’re not 1300 dollars but they aren’t crap either.
I Installed one of these while I get one I bought from you rebuilt, so far so good.

How's the spool up on these maxspeedingrods turbos, are they really a true gt30 turbo

Still have good opinions on these turbos after putting some of them through the works? Looking into buying a pair of them. Thanks!
Interesting, Greg were you able to check and see if the Compressor Housing were able to swap over seeing that they look similar?
Good question. I did not check, I’ll check one day this week
@@GOAUTOWORKSUA-cam please do, now that you did check the exhaust housing am curious on the Compressor Housing! 🤔

Thanks. If we come across an app where it is applicable to do a back to back then that may happen
thanks for the review! that is a dope hoodie btw!
Thank you...note to self to go get more made sense "hoodie season" is upon us (the one I have on is a few years old)
Local Montgomery resident, subbed
Thank you 👍🏾
Nice vid you if you do another review like this you should check out the gt30 with the billet wheel from vs racing
I’d be happy to if Vyrin wants to send me a turbo
We made almost 650whp on this turbo 😆
What was rest of combo?
Great video man, very informative for my next big turbo build. 🙌🤙
Great video dude!
thank you sir
Your intro is sick
You popped up in my recommend. I need to check out the rear mount setup you have back there
-Vaz
Thank you, more on that coming 👍🏾
That’s a budget build turbo can’t expect too much from it. I’d rock it for a short period before upgrading. Fake it till u make it lol 😅
Understandable for sure ...only issue being the fittings/flanges needing to be changed over (and spacing)
Is this the $150.00 turbo, or the $1,000.00 version?
Which turbo are you referring to...one is close to $150, and the other is close to $1000
@@GOAUTOWORKSUA-cam yes on maxpeedingrods website there is a "gt3076" for 150 and another for 1000. One has journal bearing, one is ball bearing
Ball bearing equal faster spool? Where journal is more durable?
Is it the store website secure?
The eBay Gt30 needs to be pulled apart and change the 270’ thrust bearing to a 360’ bearing
if ya want to try a gen 2 turbo pulsar turbo gives a shout ill hoook ya up
Sure thing, feel free to send one over if you’d like (preferably T3/vband outlet)
I’m interested
@@GOAUTOWORKSUA-cam unlike maxpeeding rods our turbos aint free though :)
@@BEYTEK how much is your pulsar turbo?
@@BEYTEK Yes please pay to give this guy’s cheap POS turbo free advertisement so you can show us all how cheap and POS it is. 🤣😂🤣
Nice
Gt30 only make 250 to 450. Thats sad
a lil late here but interesting man :)
