As above has anyone ever had any dealings with cr turbos ie ever had a turbo rebuild done or bought a turbo from them as they seem to know what there talking about with the mods I need to do to my turbo and are shaw I will see a good bhp gain by modding my vnt any thoughts or comments would be great.
Cheers Phil
I got a t2/t25 off them,bit of an issue with them not wanting to supply it with an adjustable actuator but apart from that I'm happy with the turbo,seems strong for a little un.
I got a hybrid rebuild from them, cost about £550 2 years ago, good turbo, but for about £650 - £700 you can get some pretty good roller bearing variants from Turbo Dynamics at the moment as they have a sale on.
:agree:
I spotted that too in my search for a new interesting turbo Andy. They had the big gt2871 and a surprisingly good price.Quote:

I had my Rover Tomcat t25 rebuilt by theses guys... Yes a little pricey but they knew what they were talking about. Had no issues with the turbo up to now.
they have told me they can mod my existing vnt turb to make it flow more air and they have also told me that i will indeed see a good gain in bhp. my current vnt is a gt2256v which is a 22mm rear turbine wheel and a 56mm front comp wheel. What they have told me is there is no need to go bigger on the front comp housing as i will then start gaining lag even with a ported shroud which is the reason why i have this turbo for minimal lag but to make good power what they have offered me is a new 25mm rear wheel and a 60mm front wheel new 360 thrust bearing all machining work to housings and rebuild it for £495+vat unless i go there and do a cash deal ;) will take about a week and they think i could make up to 40-60 bhp gain with these new wheels over the ones that are in thereQuote:

By the sound of it and with a google search your turbo is the vnt alternative to my turbo and what they're doing it upgrading it to gt2259 wheels. :)
Phil, would you not be better off selling your vnt and picking up a t28(rs)? - I think

I didnt know if going t28 would be a cheaper option and save you fooking around with the vnt.

Were as the GT28rs I think it is you mean will not spool until mid / mid high rev range ok its roller bearing so will spool a little quicker but on a C1J with all the work Phil has had done even then will still be laggy ok it may eventually get going and it may give him his bhp number's he want's. But the he want's the to maintain early spool and constant pull so a nice road going 5 that can shift when foot down and not put foot down wait a bit and the go.

whats so great about van turbo`s??? :confused:
Nothing much just the local lads laugh at me running a turbo off a van.Quote:

dosnt the nissan cabstar with the 3l engine have a nice size vnt?:D
I'm terrible I even googled that Gary. :sad2: GT2360v
More googleing has shown that the Iveco version has a small inducer compared to the BMW one. but the BMW has a funcky foot print so wont fit a gtt manifold. :cry: The daddy of this size of VNT appears to be a GTB2260VK from a Audi but that's a real odd looking turbo.
By the look of things if your sure your turbo is a 2256 the 2260 would be a upgrade but by how much of an upgrade who knows.
Just don't like people/company's charging over the odds for things that are off the shelf. thank god for google and ebay. :)
Good luck with CR turbo's mate sorry I can't spot anything for a cheap upgrade for you.
Is the one off the cabstar bigger then logg matey? May look into one:D
If only someone with a name like RandyHond was selling a VNT in the classified ...Quote:
