What happens when you try and buy a "Holset" "Hybrid" "HX35/40" from a Chinese company on Alibaba...

- What can I say, I had a feeling all would not be what it seems, but to send something literally nothing like the pictures is beyond a joke.
Then again, not really any more suspicious than the 'Genuine' Holsets people are buying these days with the massively non-genuine ID tags on them... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great advice!
1 thing u need to keep note when ordering from chinabay...
Read the description throughly especially for the spec and sizing...
1-2mm wheel size differences between advertised and actual item might be within their "tolerance spec"
But if its too big differences... There is chance u can open dispute with them for moneyback or get 2 turbos for 1
Pulsar is what pfi use on the 1200hp twin turbo crx. They do a nice g25-660 for 800ish mark.
Picture looked quite nice, I would have at least hoped it was vaguely similar.
Yeah exactly, unbranded but the same spec I’d have been ok with
My question is what brand of snap ring pliers was that you were using and where you get them?
aliexpress also has all sorts of "holsets" for next to no money. sure those are as advertised :P
Even the "brand name" Chinese turbos - Kamak, Kinugawa, Mamba etc are crap. I've heard of numerous failures within 2 years. I'd only use them for stuff like turbine housings in future.
These are Taiwanese brands. But I heard other people beating the crap out of them and still running. It seems like it's a matter of luck if they sent you a good example or not.
yeah g
I was gona chance one of those for the m50 turbo. Happy I didn’t now. Id like to run a holset or borg warner. Any recommendations? M50b28 non vanos stroker, mild headwork, decent tubular manifold and intercooler. Wanting 500ish useable bhp. Your input would be greatly appreciated 👍
Get a legit Holset HX35 16cm off Compressor Racing and job done. Perfect for your goals and 500quid on eBay or 460 if you contact them direct on Facebook or whatever
That is a neat circlip tool. I'm squeezing the fuck out of it with hand circlip pliers.
Honestly it’s worth it’s weight in gold
Ahh the universal language of Alibaba
i would ask for money back if you paid trough alibaba
One of those things that you "Wish" you had turned down then 🤣
Join the club, hope you haven't spent too much on it
Just seen what looks like a hole in the casting 😲😲😲😲
Woul you use it on a budget build Stav if it is what you ordered?
If it was the spec I ordered, even if not a real Holset, I’d give it a go. But this current spec it came as? No
Ordered hx35 exhaust housing from compressor racing UK on ebay, hasnt been shipped its been 3 days, are they legit? i heard you mention them on the video
I think sometimes they need to source items from time to time. Get in touch if you haven't already. Stav wouldn't big them up if they were cowboys.
The top company for Holset parts. Very legit. Only people I trust.
If it’s beyond the estimated delivery time contact them, but 3 days from ordering to arrival don’t sound a big deal for any company to me
It doesn't look that bad in appearance and possibly is good enough for it's money but since it's not what you ordered you should send it back and ask for your money.
The exhaust wheel is the wrong colour it probably pig iron instead of inconel.
@@heem6619 I don't think so if it is iron a bearing failure would be imminent but still the fact that they sent a leftover to get rid of it it's not nice at all.
No shit, what did you expect ?
You any experience of this? My guess is no. I have. And I didn’t expect that to arrive
@@StavTech No because I know to stick with reputable brands and reputable suppliers
