I was wondering the same thing...

There have been a lot of "stone mountain racing" turbos on ebay lately. I thought that ss autochrome sold them...

The auction you have posted doesn't say anything about stone mountain racing...? I thought it said the turbo was garrett?

Anyways, it will be interesting to find out if anyone has experience with these turbos they seem to be cheaper than other brands.

 

oh man, i thought that was the stone mountain racing one. well anyways its still cheap but i want to know if they are any good?

 

The turbos and manifolds you see on Ebay including the ones mentioned above are imported from Taiwan. The companies selling them are not the manufacturers. Whether the quality is acceptable, I'll leave that up to those who have tried them.

 

ssautochrome... search it

 

so this turbo is sold by ss auto chrome. yeah everyone knows about them and their manifolds specifically but the turbos...anyone have experience with them...?

 

Its not SS Autochrome. These guys are based in Hull Quebec, CAnada. Turbo's are pretty good, look at their feedback

those turbos "BLOW" don't even waiste your money just save a little more and get something that's worth the $$

 

oh contraire, locally there are numerous people i talk to that run this turbo, including myself as of 3 days ago. No one i have talked to, and this includes people i emailed thru Ebay that have purchased this turbo before, have had any problems that they would not have had with any other turbo (ie bad install, incorrrect connection for oil or some retarded ****). Im runnin this turbo now with about 9psi on a Revhard mani and it runs incredible. A buddy of mine with an Si has had it for a loong time and has had no problems, for the price, u cant go wrong.

wicked, well im tired of hearin people trash talking stuff they dont even own. just because they are cheap and dont have GARRETT written on them doesnt mean they are going to blow up after a week. ill probally buy one...anyone else have experience??

tyson - why do they suck so much?

 

I'm running their t3/to4e turbo along with their manifold. I would say the quality of the turbo itself isn't that great, but it does do the job. Had it for on the car for about 2 months with no problems.

Btw, for people who runs their turbo, when does your's kick in? 4000rpms?

 

well according to the gauge im seeing about 3-4psi under 3k, but it doesnt start to really pull till around 3400 or so, by 4000 shes tearing *****, and above that i lose consciousness.

 

what engine are you runnin chilloutwayne?

 

Built B18C1, CP OS 9:1 with Eagle H beam rods...runnin 9spi now but removed my cap on the Tial and hopin to get back down to 6psi like the spring thats in there, got a buddy with this turbo on a built si also and a buddy with it on a stock 95' EX.
