2) will it fit a c1j?Yes
3) will it last longer than 10 minutes?probably not for that money

cheers

All that said - it will be laggy as fook.

[jamie_clioGTT]

thank you very much for your answers

does that mean its a t25 cold side and t28 hot side? the opposite of a hybrid

You would be better off saving your money and buying a garrett unit, it will be cheap ****e

Looks like a cheap poor copy of a gt2871 even if it was real deal would be far to big for a C1J unless using a large lump of noz.

Im selling one on ebay and its a garret if your interested.

Thats a T25 rear just the larger size .64 housing which is abit too big for my likeing when running carb

Once there fitted with genuine Garrett bearings they work quite well, a few people have run the copy turbos before but as said if you can afford a genuine one go for that

[jamie_clioGTT]

im just moving house so moneys pretty tight at the moment. my hybrid has just let go and im back on to the t2 i brought off you mark but i think its slowly dying.

i dont want to spend another countless amounts of pounds on a turbo for it to last a week like all the turbo's ive brought so far, (apart from this trusty t2 of mark it just keeps on going).

cheers for your input chaps.

JP Racing has bought a cheapy turbo and rebuilt the moving bits with genuine garrett parts, might be worth sending him a PM.

Yarp it was a cheap Chinese copy with a good set of bearings put in it and seems fine as the car made some good figures

Is this a very involved job? What are the costs in the parts?
Thanks

It's not a diy job, the shaft needs balancing once the cores built, without balancing it doesn't matter what bearings you put in, it won't last.

[JP Racing]

To be honest I just brought a nice new Chinese turbo some decent 360 degree bearings and took the turbo apart it was marked up from where it was originally balenced so I just made sure when it all went back together I lined them all up. The turbo has done about 1500 miles and is still as good as when it was first built and no smoke or problems proper cheeky it cost £130 for the turbo and around £60 for bearings if I remember right also the car made 374.4bhp with it on at scoffs so can't be bad if it lasts a few years it works out cheaper than spending big money on a turbo IMO but I only do a few thousand miles a year in my car

[gttjames]

Haha at that price you could change it every year!
