We here at Dezod are always pushing the envelope to out do ourselves from the day before. With that in mind, we are considering offering this kit as a standard with a Ball Bearing turbo instead of a bushing turbo? The end result would raise the overall price of the S1 approx $350 overall due to contract we would sign that would allow us to buy the turbos a tad cheaper, but over larger volumes. We want your feedback!!! Discuss

 

I think ball-bearing would be a great thing.. as an option.

Most people are always looking for the lowest price. It's basic consumer behavior. Most people probably can't justify the extra $350 - $400 for a 500rpm quicker spool. If my T'netics kit was offered with a standard bearing for $500 less, I wouldn't purchased that one.

Now if you're referring to ball-bearing turbos as GT turbos, that's different.

 

Keep it as an option. Like Rob said, people are looking for the cheapest option possible. Bump the price and people will start turning to Turbonetics.

Just emphasize it in the description, and explain how it could potentially benefit the user.

 

what kinda bb turbo you talking about like a gt28 or a gt30?

 

im wondering why i was told by ppl on SL ball bearing doesnt do anything for auto and would be a waste of money. if the turbo spools faster it would be just as beneficial to me as a manual.

 

Ball bearing turbos sound cool, but offer very little performance over the standard. T3s spool up so fast that you don't really notice the difference. On a GT30/GT35 you may see a difference of 400-500 rpms.

 

It would be a GT3076R

 

thats the turbo i run a great turbo its very fast at spooling up it spools when i shut my car off it spins the turbine from the heat escaping the manifold lol its a nice one i thought you guys would go with the 28 due to you guys like the littler ar turbos

 

the t3,t4 turbo for me doesnt spool till like 3k or around there

 

Then I retract my statement. I may buy one from you actually.

 

hmmmmm i was seeing about 8 psi by 2500 in third with my set up lol that wasnt really pushing it either like only half throttled

i would have gone dezod if they had a kit out for the xb2

 

ya but ur manual ;/ im stuck in D and if i gas it slowly u can hear the turbo start barely spooling at like 2600 but not really in boost

 

I seriously doubt cory gets 8psi by 2500rpm on half throttle.

Take what was posted with a grain of salt. I can imagine 8psi by 2500 rpm on half throttle if he had atleast a 3.0L motor.. or he was in 5th gear .

 

the test was done in third from a 1500 rpm start

 

Were you going up an incline?

 

slight
here is a vid see the spool lol

 

?? What is that showing us again? You rowing through three gears?

And it seems like you were on pace with that pick-up truck.. lol.

You should get a vid of boost gauge and tach - and do some WOT pulls at low rpm and 3rd gear.. that's the only way to tell - that and being on a dyno.

 

Worst. Video. Ever.

I was expecting you to get on it in 3rd...but you didn't.

 

Oppps wrong vid i will post the other when i get home and i cant make a new vid motor is not in the car

 

So the consensus seems to be that we should keep the system as is. Am I understanding this right?
