Arrow Cxracing stuff

Has anyone ever bought a CXRACING turbo? Just wanted to know the quality if any? I got a innercooler and pipes from them and they were better than I expected.

Intercoolers are one of the few things that brand doesn't really make a difference with, turbos, on the other hand, shouldn't be something you go to ebay or cxracing for. Check out Master Power turbos, they're cheaper than bigger name turbos, but decent quality.

I know those turbos you see on ebay are absolute garbage, I've heard stories of componets being held together with glue.

My Greddy turbo FMIC required that I take off the front support beam on my Si. Got worried after a few close calls on the freeway.

Greddy core.

CXR core.

Changed it out to a CXR FMIC. It actually flows better on the dyno.

I say go for it.

I was just seeing what people knew about them. I would love to run upgraded twins on my sc 1jz swap.

manifold on their kit looks like a pretty standard 2JZ manifold. main thing is that all the piping lines up for the turbo to intercooler and then your downpipe. all the rest is small potatoes compared to those parts working together.

I have the CX i/c pipes and I was honestly shocked at the quality. Nice heavy aluminum, and the couplers werent bad either being 3ply. For the price, I think they have some very good stuff

I retract my previous statement, I misread your post and thought you only wanted the CXR intercooler. I WOULD NOT get their turbo.
