This is a huge £130 turbo that we bought from Amazon! Why? We wanted to see if a REALLY cheap turbo kit actually gains you more power! How much work does it take, how much does it cost and, more importantly, how much power we can make.
And it got a little out of hand! Since we found out you can get a turbo for only £130 on Amazon, we HAD to get one. But there was one question - what do we fit it to?
Well, we own a PT cruiser SPECIFICALLY to test Amazon car mods on. Only we had one issue - almost NOBODY has done this before.
If anyone would like to pick up this turbo, here is the Amazon link - amzn.to/3WQvc5d

Just remember everyone there is a reason MaxPeedingRods super budget turbo has a tiny exhaust side and a huge cold side, turbo lag saves projects like this! Low down torque with an smaller turbo would send those rods bouncing down the road

@mehmoremeh1410 Год назад

if ya say so

@Henry_Jr_Watsson Год назад

True! But more low down torque also means more risk to some nifty explosions considering the low quality parts of this car.

They made these with turbo. The pt cruiser gt. Not a world first. I remember selling these when they came out, and test driving the turbo model when we first got em on the lot to compare the difference in feel. Started In 03 or 04, had something around 200hp.

@musewolfman Год назад

The problem (well, one of the many,) with the PT Cruiser is that they designed it on computer for minimal clearances, to the point that that they actually had to stop production a few months in, just to practice assembly. Prior to that, they were turning out only about 1/4 as many per day as they had planned.

@BallisticTech Год назад

I feel like most other turbo on stock car mods usually need to upgrade the fuel pump, and injectors in order to get an AFR that works with the increased boost. Would that have helped here?

@arboris Год назад

Fukin' hell Richard, you're a legend 🤣

@ProdigyAutomotive Год назад

I've been running a GT45 turbo on my 5.3 for over 2 years now, it makes 14.5 pounds of boost by the end of first gear, holds 14-15 psi through second and third, which makes about 700hp reliably. It made even more boost before I put a bigger wastegate, hitting 18-19 psi easily, I don't feel comfortable running that much boost but that turbo will definitely supply it. It works great, I'll probably just put another amazon one on if it ever goes out.

They don't mention it, but I hope they moved to higher octane fuel for the turbo. If they didn't then they should consider it as it will allow them to run more boost without fear of detonation.

@pigeonsil240sx Год назад

well to be fair the turbo pt makes 220 at the crank so probably close to 190whp so there really only around 20hp off. 20 years go ii had a 420a eagle talon which is same motor as the non turbo py cruiser i made 180whp at just 5 psi using ebay turbokit no tune as it was a FMU setup,then i went up to 9 psi and finally broke ring land after a few years of abuse. they never say what boost level hes running and the fact hes only making 170whp tuned does not seem right unless hes running really low boost just to be safe,btw these 420a engines weakest link are the ring lands and they are extremely fragile and prone to breaking under detonation

I have purchased 2 turbos from Amazon, both for about $125. One of them I ran 20psi through for about 20K miles then swapped for a bigger turbo I got basically free. Rebuilt that with an ebay kit I paid $20 for. Currently running 25psi+ on that and about 25K miles. The other turbo I bought I haven't been able to install yet. But the goal is 30+psi. Nothing wrong with a cheap turbo, just don't expect it to last 200K miles. But at 1/10 the price of a high end name brand, does it really matter?

@makssy9949 Год назад
