b20b turbo

[DAIntegraB20B]

how long would a fully stock b20b last with an ebay turbo. No worried about blowing either turbo or motor so just wondering. just as a daily drive that i would push every now and then??

dont buy an ebay turbo. that's a very bad idea.

Not long enough to get to a tuner.

It would last about 2 gear pulls before you blew it up.

Lol eBays turbos lasted like 2 weeks before they went to shit then I finally bought a Garrett, eBay Turbos are nothing but headaches ..

Why waste time and money. Why not just build it right the first time?

fair enough haha

I would worry more about your b20 sleeves giving out and then the turbo, or both at the same time.

Cheaping out = bad idea.

Find another motor to boost, and another turbo to use.

what kind of setup do you have and what kind of power does it make?

if that was directed to havok, you could just read his build thread.

My setup was a b1 on 12psi same turbo.
My cousins setup is a b20 12.5 psi same turbo
His old eg had same turbo b20 aswell and 12psi
We love these Turbos & know the limits of these motors , everyone's scared to go over 8 on a stock motor :thumbdown:

How much power is safe on a stock B20? Did you get a dyno graph when you had your engine tuned?

My setup was tuned on the streets, my cousin was tuned by dnr out in California & made 250 if I can remember correctly, pretty good for a 100% stock motors ..
My airefuel ratio at WOT was safe & wasn't all over the place.

I dont understand why you refer to PSI when whp and wtq makes more sense. People are afraid to go over 8psi because those people are probably incapable of understanding that 8lbs off a t25 will not yield the same results as 8lbs on a gt35r.

With that said..

Its cool that your motor is holding together with your setup, but to me, IMO, just because you can do it, doesnt mean you should do it. More power to you though.
