Power Master turbos (?)

[dpuckett]

Anyone heard of them? PDR has them on sale, and it has a 66mm impellar wheel, 16cm ex hsg, and an A/R ratio of . 7. Is this good, bad, indifferent? I have a reman H1C that is so-so, and if I start towing soon (may take hay west to TX and OK), I dont want to be down to 40mph on every hill because of my EGT.



I can hit 1400deg/ 34psi with 2/3 throttle & stock injectors (cleaned and reset last week, so they arent the culprit). Pump flows 160cc. My turbo has some up and down/ side to side slack, and makes a screeching/ squealing noise at 22+ psi boost or so. It isnt the same noise as the last head gasket, though i'm not ruling that out, with my luck. I have tried a ported 18cm, and a ported 14cm housing, and though the 14 was a little slower for EGT to rise, there is essentially no difference on the top end.

made in china



the early ones were pure JUNK... people are having better luck with them these days

Is this the same brand?

Master Power

I couldn't find the turbo you speak of on PDR'd site, to compare.

I looked them up on the web, and they are made in Brazil, and have been in business for 30+ years, so they must do something right now and then.



They are listed in the specials on PDR's website.

Don't buy a master power turbo. A friend of mine bought one from pdr and put on his '97 and didn't last a week before it grenaded. And then PDR didn't back their product either.

They are supposed to be slow spoolers,



I have a 35/40 -14 nwg for $480 shipped that I just got rebuilt.



I went to an s300.

Daniel. im almost certain this is the turbo Matt (TippinSpottedCow) was running when his turbo bit the dust. if i remeber he said they are total junk, just cheap.

 

[dodgedriver_02]

Thanks for the offer JKidd but he's $550 in the hole now that he bought that turbo and PDR won't warranty it and he has to get a new down pipe. He's just going to put his old stocker 35 back on for the time being. There goes his economic stimulus check.

 

[jkidd]

what size down pipe does he need?

 

[Tippin Spotted Cow]

Yes Jimmy, that is the turbo I had. If you note my signature, you will see that I corrected that error.

It was a 4" downpipe for an HX-40 on a 2nd gen.
