questions of turbos and oil accy

[veedubin]

So I'm huntin on ebay, and found an oil cooler from a 91 RX7... these are the ones with the internal thermostat right? is it an upgrade for my factory one? Also found an interesting turbo for rather cheap "PFI AR.60 AIRESEARCH TO4"

has internal gate and all doesn't look like to much fabbing to make it work with my supra. But what is the .60 good for Hp wise? I'm shooting for over 500rwhp(with all supporting mods.... of course). will it get me there?

The RX7 cooler is much larger than our stock cooler and does have an internal T-stat. The problem with it is findind a place to mount it. Search for that cooler for posts Adjuster made...he has one.

A .60 AR is a bit small IMO.

Yea I was thinking that.. I just like the fact it has an internal gate... no extra stuff to buy. Trying to ball on a budget :biglaugh: I'm( against my will, and for shits 'n giggles) try the ebay .70 AR turbo the $200 one. but I'm wondering if that is even going to be big enough.

If it's the ebay turbo I'm thinking about, you really don't want it...it's cheap for a reason.

yea... i'm not as dumb as most people seem to think I am. I knwo it's garbage. The way I was thinking was get all the good stuff hooked up. Since the turbo is the most expensive peice of my build, I'll get a cheapy to run for a month (fingers crossed) then save up to get a nice HKS or Garret unit. Get it... If the turbo lasts longer, great if it blows up, oh well. Long as i have a good one in my house wating to replace the ebay one I'm good

regarding china turbos, you should read this article some of them seem to last long enough these days:
