my friend with a 95 eclipse says that he's going to buy a turbo kit from ebay for 600 dollars and says the the page says it gets 400hp. i asked him who made it and he said he didnt know. i told him its b/s, but he doesnt believe me. he already put forged pistons in but i still dont believe its anywhere near a good kit..what are your guy's thoughts on this?

 

i call B/S also

 

idk i saw a "master power" turbo on a mustang race car put down 607/915 lol

it was a no name turbo 76mm

 

glad im not the only one. cause i know for a good kit like the zzp kit, you'll be paying 2grand at least..

 

ill let you know how much hp i put down when i dyno my ebay tubo cobalt

 

sure it'll make 400 hp with enough boost/supporting mods...it may only make that power for one pull on the dyno lol but hey, they never said how long it'll last lol

 

lmao ebay kits suck and dont last. waste of money dude. sometimes they work out fine for the consumer from what I hear but very hit or miss. not worth the time, money or hassle...

 

hey u will never know unless u try

 

Honelty those ebay turbo kits are good, I just would get a new turbo. Everything else on them I would trust...

 

Yea.. someone put up a pic of the turbo housing being glued together lol.

 

alot of ebay and no-name turbos actually are not that bad. i dont trust their wastegates though. i have used them on multiple builds of friends cars...just remove the internal wastegate assembly and tac-weld the rod shut and convert to external wastegate. one of them lasted 2 years on 25+psi, the others lasted a little over a year and a half but hey its a $150-200 turbo. what do you expect? lol

 

ya i bet its legit..........but its gonna be real funny when that cheap turbo spools up and the internals shatter....

 

think its one of those super amazing electric turbochargers that are all over ebay?

 

IMO 75% of all ebay hp claims are BS

OOOOOOO........Electric Turbocharger = Electric must be better than mechanical.........What ever "mechanical" means. People are IDIOTS.







See...........the only difference is the one of the turbos above will exlpode if they produce more than 0.5 lbs of boost. I wonder which one it is? It's gotta be the bottom one. It's way to shiny to be real.

 

in all honesty, stretching the limits of the setup and everything, its possible. but its reliability over time is the key question.

 

anyone ever see the youtube video of the leaf blower intake for a civic or w.e.? the electronic turbo is the same set up... pretty crazy lmao i think it put out like 50 extra horses with the leaf blower lmao

 

ebay turbos will make great horsepower....... for 5-10 minutes. then you're out a lot of money.

 

haha i just love how crappy those electric turbochargers look. thats actually a good quality pic of one. usually they have all sorts of dumb tags like "PLUS 50 HP!!!!!".

just look at it, im laughing here just looking at it. ITS ******* PLASTIC!

 

here you go

 

wow i thought you guys were bsing lmao so awesome

 

Yes, the 420A kit is 400hp capable.

It may not be reliable at all, and will require pistons, rods, and standalone tuning....but it CAN make 400.

 

master power is not a no name...lots of V8 guys run them....

The first car I ever build was a 91' eclipse gsx, I bought an eBay kit for 900, everything worked but for the BOV and the piping for the front mount was just retarded how they want me to run it but I made 400whp on it at like 25lbs and it lasted like 3year

 

ive seen a honda cvic with a $175 ebay turbo kit being tuned on a dyno with pistons and rods and he made over 300hp
