CXracing turbo kit

[kamotors]

I know 2 local E30's running cxracing turbo's and honestly they do just fine and both cost under $200, the CXracing turbos are computer balanced before shipment. I wouldn't trade my $700 turbonetics for one but there are no issues with the cxracing turbo's in my experience.

I don't understand what the problem with CXRacing is.

They sell budget products that actually fit. Hell a few of my friends have had good luck with ebay turbo's as well. Found the key is to take it apart and reassemble with locktite on everything before install. Still, it's no dual BB garrett, but for the cost....

I have seen the ebay turbo's do some crazy stuff in the domestic world. a lot of those are built to a factory spec, the problem is people then run the absolute PSI piss out of them and get mad when they fail. There is a dude on turbo forums that took 2 57mm ebay turbos and made roughly 600hp at the wheels on a stock block before cracking it. Have realistic expectation with what you got, it's like you said, they aren't dual BB garretts either.

Yeah you are one to talk.. Ireland can't even design a motor/transmission mount that can support its own weight.

haha, I'd thankfully almost forgotten about those. I started working at IE a couple years ago when that was an issue, they are one of the turnarounds I'm pretty proud of. Think your info's pretty out of date at this point though.

Don't let the cheap price fool you. This is a solid kit and if you add a tune and bigger injectors it should be very strong. Just my 2 cents

maybe try this kit http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/merchant...ry_Code=TRBBMW

sell off the turbo and get something decent. The manifold fits great from my experience

Good to know thanks

The best thing about that kit is the intercooler, silicone elbows, and 2 of the 11 pipes that are actually usable.
The rest is common ebay crud.
