Default ebay turbo track results

well the good and bad>>>ran 7.0 at 100 in the 1/8th on 6psi.

good...car ran great, launched good, stock suspension on a 8" wide dot slick, even pulled the front wheel for a bit.

bad....made 4 runs and everytime I tried to add a little to the boost controller, first was 4psi, then 5, then tried even more but 6 was all i could get. cant wait to change gears and get a good wastegate, higher boost.

do you have videos? and how much does your car weigh?
not everything on ebay is crap, you just have to know what your buying and stay away from any listing that has jdm in it lol
ive had good luck so far with my ebay jiamu re-manufactured holset turbo only paid 300$ and got a one year warranty with it ,and there office is only a hour away from where i live, so i could always go chuck it through there window if it blows up lol

Nice!

I had good luck using a T70 (~60 mm). They are fine for ~650 RWHP on an LT1 and helped me get the system working.

I just switched to twin Master Power T70 which should have better longevity.

Again congrats on showing another successful EBay turbo running at the track

The turbo's in video are EBay 'T70's' they measure ~60 mm just to make sure I spoke clearly--they made great power but longevity is not the best so I switched to Master Power T70 with .96 exhaust and just starting to debug (ie tune) setup.

The motor is a 377 LT1 (4 x 3.75) with a solid reground cam from Delta cams the profile I think is 232/236 with .540" lift at 1.5. I run 1.52 roller rockers. The lobe seperation is 114 with ~8.5:1 and I use a two bar and run ~15 psi.

How much did you spend on your kit? Were you doing a budget build?

I wondered the same, but since he has an LT1...

The Z uses EBay parts: turbo manifolds (~200), Intercooler (125), Tubing kits and connectors (~200), T70 (450/pair) tune myself. I just changed the turbos to MP T 70's

I also have an LT1 rearmount that is also EBay parts but now changing to a Master Power T76. LT manifolds and homemade (Muffler shop) y to turbo using 3" pipe. It has a 203/203 cam. You will find on LT1 small cams 202 - 230 are great cams boost really doesn't need a lot of cam IMO and experience.

Good luck if you want to ask something you can PM so we don't clutter this thread.
