HT3B on ebay

[Slingblade]

HT3B's from China. I wonder if original parts will fit. Might just explode at 10 PSI. eBay Motors: HT3B TURBO CUMMINS NT855 @w (item 120238266000 end time Apr-05-08 01:27:59 PDT)

Member since June 07 and in the last month started selling/buying under this name? AND in a different country? I think not. Most of his positives are from one person

Looks like most of the sales in feedback are of USED turbos.



It's actually possible that Cummins makes turbos in China, and they make extras on weekends to sell on grey market. Happens with ALL products in China.

You should call any turbo performance shop and ask them about the life expectancy of one of those turbos. I spoke with a guy that tunes high end cars for a living that replaces those chinese turbos all the time. LOL They are very cheaply built.

probably out-of-spec rejects. many companies sell loosly spec'd parts to wholesalers without warranty. plus there's no detail on housing and wheel sizes!

NO WAY



The HVAC school I used to teach at, bought 20 sets of gages, which included the manifold, gages and hoses. The hoses were rated at 2000 psi and they would burst at 50 psi. The sets were made in china. Good thing the school only paid $19. 99 a set.



What ****** me off was the fact that I had set up a good discount on some quality JB presure gages sets, and was told I should mind my own business. It took a year to get more sets and was one of the reasons for me quiting. I remember when the owner had to cover a class of 20 students and it was there turn for learning how to use them. When I returned from vacation there were new JB sets there and he paid more for them than what I had negotiated a year earlier.



As said prior, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

That looks like the one I bought several years ago, it was all junk.

Actually had pieces of an exhaust valve in the turbine. Yes, it still turned.

I called that an education!!!

A turbo is a precision piece, don't buy from a place like that unless you like to gamble.

I was checking into air tanks recently, and found some made it China with very good pressure ratings for much cheaper. After doing some research, I found that Chinese manufacturers will print whatever "rating" on a product is necessary to get it to sell, and have done absolutely NO quality verification of the rating... much less rating it with a safety factor!!!
