I bought this turbo for my ls/vtec project. I'm shooting for atleast 400whp (450 on meth). I know its a ball-bearing but I was wondering if anyone know the brand and if it'll hold up to the power levels im looking for? here are a few pics:





any and all help is appreciated. thanks

 

E-bay GT35R. taking off the inlet cover would help too, but that's what it looks like. There is an entire debate about their use on DSM tuners that you can view if you'd like.

 

yes can you please post up the dsm tuners link? thanks.

so if it is an ebay 35r, do these hold up/last at the power levels i mentioned? thanks

 

 

ebay turbos will fail quick.

and why would u buy something like that not knowing what it is?

 

is this definately ebay? i got it cheap. guy said its brand new and ball-bearing(looks like it. no shaft play) and it came off a toyota supra turbo kit....

 

This is just one of them, but there is another one that is more elaborated. You'll need to search DSM tuners in the Turbo/technical section. You'll be able to search and find your information there

You gotta do a little work for yourself here. Remember, its not our turbocharger, so you must do your part if you want to know more about it.

theshodan: thanks for posting the link. i actually did do a lot of research and i finally got my answer... it IS an ebay b.b gt35r turbocharger. its distributed my a company called CX-Racing. they are really popular in the nissan scene, mainly 240sx's. ppl with their kits say they are definately worth the $. the only problem im having is, on the nissan's they run smaller turbos at much less boost (same company makes the turbos). so i'm wondering if my bigger 35r will hold 20psi and make 400+hp just as well ?

there is a guy on another honda forum that said his buddy is running the same exact turbo as mine and its been holding up good at 30psi. egay special too.

so as of now, my main concern is....WHAT CAN I DO TO THIS TURBO TO INSURE IT DOES HOLD UP TO THE POWER LEVELS IM LOOKING FOR? ive heard to run an oil restrictor when hooking up the oil lines (i dont know what an *oil restrictor* is so i will research that right now) and someone said to run a lock-nut on the turbine shaft of the compressor. any other suggestions? thanks again for the help
