T61 Bolt on Turbo by Cx Racing

[Steve_N]

Anyone running this turbo or know anyone that is? I checked the feed back & they SOLD 7 this month with + feedback left. I emailed 5 of them for there impressions of the turbo. Looks kinda like the SP61 bolt on but a bit smaller. Here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=190323038736

From the feedback left so far I'm leaning on ordering it but want to see what you folks here thought.

Thanks

I would love to hear reliability out of them, though i don't expect it.

This is def a repost and its been covered only a couple times IIRC.

Please feel free to buy and do extensive testing on it. Let the community know! I'm sure many would appreciate it if it does turn out good.

**My preference though would be for someone like MDC to get one and disassemble it and decide what kind of quality parts and assembly are being used. I would trust him or people with his experience.

Was covered in another thread, but I kinda like the turbine housing as it would allow a DDP without the actual divider flap and it would seal properly with a gasket...

I checked his feedback, and it seem the turbos he sells have made the buyers happy. Looks like a nice piece, and a good price. I may go with this unit to replace my old tired CT26. So, definitely buy it and test it out for us, OK.:biglaugh:

Sorry about the Repost but I did searh befor I posted & didn't see anything about it. I have heard back from 3 buyer that I emaild. 2 Have not installed it yet, 1 has & is happy with it. Waiting on a cpl more of the buyers to get back to me.

 

[IwantMKIII]

^what is the buyer pushing with it. Has he dyno'd it. What kind of boost is he running? etc etc

First it is not bolt in...as there is no water cooling so lines will have to be rerouted.

But anyways look at the specs:
Air Inlet 3"
Compressed Air Outlet 2.5"
Bearing Journal Bearing
Turbine Housing Flange 4-bolt
Exhaust Outlet 4-bolt
HP ~500 WHP
Internal WG: 8PSI
Compressor .50 A/R
Turbine .63 A/R
Compressor Wheel 60 Trim Compressor Wheel
Exducer: 84mm
Mayor:66.6mm
Turbine Wheel Exducer: 74.6mm
Mayor:64.6mm
Works for Toyota Supra MKIII with 7MGTE engine

66.6mm wheel is pretty damn big. But like mentioned some testing would be great.

Look more carefully at the pics, there definitely is a coolant line flange on the housing.

Is it balanced?

 

[IwantMKIII]

^according to the page its electronically assembled so i would GUESS a computer does any balancing before its assembled.

EDIT: I misread. It says it IS computer balanced.

 

[IwantMKIII]

if we had 500 people interested we could all probably throw in a dollar and send it to a certified member to inspect lol.

Thats 2mm larger than their T67 turbo they have though the T67's exducer is a bit larger by 7mm.

I'd test it if i had the money lol

Compare......look at the cast. Top is a Boss Jr. 57 trim. Nearly identical. WG is very very similar as well. I wonder what internals CX uses. Anybody have specs on Boss' turbine specs?

 

[MRSUPRA]

It is not a T61, it's a 67. It looks nice, but the A/R on both housings are small for that size turbo. And as I have always said, the turbo is the one thing I would never cheap out on.

 

[paradox616]

id be interested to see if its any good

I don't see any water ports...I don't even think the stock oil lines will work on it. I imagine it is a t3/4 center section..

one way to find out... someone buy one

 

[IwantMKIII]

OP: ask seller how "bolt on" this turbo really is. IE water cooled? Oil lines bolt up? etc.

I'd like to hear more as well as I am in the market for a replacement as soon as I rebuild my motor. The problem with ebay feedback is people post it as soon as they receive the item, or as soon as they install it, so the feedback doesnt really illustrate the reliability of the unit.
