ah chaange to ball bearing ah....power wise very good. your rpm will go up very fast. as far as i know, theres no lag. but ball bearing turbine very fast kong.
because it spins so fast and so light, it wears out very fast. I used to use SR20DET with Ball bearing turbine... now i chged the turbine to normal T88...better last longer!

r u sure ball bearing wears out fast ??

 

[kruger]

is the bearing modified one? if modified, did they balanced it properly? cause ball bearing is better than using oil...

 

[SDF]

All turbos require oil my fren...

 

[goosfrabar]

yes ngo-chi....but if u oil it also....it'll still wear out.
ask any mechanic, because its too light it spins very fast> power but the turbine wears out fast.

there is no basis to this explanation my fren...

ball bearing turbos are the way to the future..conventional method of journal bearing or float bearings are a way of the past.

I'd like to see how your mechanic explain that ball bearing turbos wear out fast. No offence to him, but does he really understand the actualy workings of a turbocharger ?
In a forum i prefer to reason these kind of MYTH away and give the other users a true perspective and not get the wrong message just because of some heresay...

ok sifu relax man...i'm just a turbo user that used to use ball bearing turbo... until i realize that it cepat kong(change turbo 4x). then i went to a couple workshops and they say the same thing.... the ball bearing turbine wears very fast. then i went back to mechanic, he said "there i told u, ball bearing turbine not good..."

I'm sorry if i have offended engineering expertise but i'm just a sharing experiences mah. maybe u can tell me how to slove my problem with my turbine.

many problems arise is due to the fact that the turbos u bought are from junkyard..
90% of the junk ball bearing turbos are damaged...which is why u alwiz have these problems..

if not get frm chop shop...then where else can i get for a good price.
i don't believe in modding it coz it will give a lot of problems later.

Single turbo enuff alr...simple n direct....

No worry of lag.....NOS will solve the problem...:p

 

[SDF]

if u don believe in modding...then why mod ? u seem to be giving conflicting answers... ;)

get a GT2530..GT2540...all are bolt on....New ones bout RM 3-4k...

Dan..

As far as factory is concerned...it does not cover any Warranty...

 

[Danny]

warranty is only for product defect, if any, and is given by us. Does not cover defects caused by misuse.

 

[ramsing]

go for single turbo la....no need to buy 2 of everyhting. piping also will be easier to do than twin setup. :)
