Just in case you need a "TURBO"

[BusaNostra]

For Industrial Diesel applications & Marine turbochargers/superchargers.

Also a hard to get turbo from the 50's - 60's and the present.

Mostly application for Rigs -Monster machines - Dozer -Cranes - diggers

Lobster/crabs/fishing marine industries - ships - locomotives - mining - barges

- diesel trucks and many many more.

 

Unfortunately due to the Chinese knock offs infiltrated our industries, I

seized selling performance turbochargers. I re-organized my business, paid

attention to the diesel & marine turbo applications that the Chinese have not

copied/fake/fraud yet. I never encouraged to buy a turbo from me from the past,

but hard to find turbo worth saving my site for future reference.

 

Walk in to my Turbo graveyard: Oh! make your screen bigger

Then keep my site for future needs:

Great shop there!

man.......thats a lot blowers! doesnt worth selling as scrap or any other way?

[BusaNostra]

Most of these turbines made in the USA contains hard and precious metals such as nikasil - nickles, etc and hard metal alloy properties to withstand extreme heat. Made in China are cast iron & raw aluminum. I don't use them.

Most precious metal company are looking to buy these turbines....not a scrap.

[westy turbo]

am bad,meant to sell as the best way to get what they worth...

[BusaNostra]

There are plenty of old vessels in Eastern Europe (Poland one of them) where some of the turbo are from the 60's. If the ship turbine crack, your will never find a replacement except in my yard. Some of these huge/gigantic turbine used for barges & ships. I can still use them if not crack. I can sell them to the precious metal recycling co. but I will make more money if I sell it a complete turbo unit.

Question: how do you keep track of which turbo fits a particular engine ? They look like they're piled up without any sense of order, although I suspect you know exactly what you have & which pile it's in. I have never seen so many turbos, ever. Impressive. How many years of collecting does this represent ?

[BusaNostra]

Nice question: Since 1970. The application - the specification - the rebuilding and availability are the secret of this business. I was young then, my brain was fresh and can absorb & soak up information when the so called Bill Gates gadget was not available.

 

In 1992, these turbines & compressors were catalogs-compiled and photographed. Today, all of our new turbos/superchargers are coming through many different company & country. There is no need to catalog - keyboard & mouse is a wonderful thing.

 

Next question: How do i know if it's made in CHINA vs Made in USA ? I will save that question.

I can answer that. If it's more than a year or two old, it isn't in the saved inventory pile, it's in the grind-it-up pile to make cut nails with. It's just like tools. You can sure tell the difference when you put some force behind it vs. a snapon tool. Yes, big difference in cost but if your trade depends on a good tool, where are the savings ?

 

On a boat, 2000 miles from shore, and your turbo takes a crap can be bad news, especially in gale force winds. I think the Carnival ships use Chinese turbos, another one in the carribbean took a dump at St. Marteen. I think this one was the Carnival Dream.............more like Nightmare !

 

Get a good turbo ready for them, they need it.

that we are not allowed to make a choice, I am sure many of us would opt to pay more for an item of a better grade not made in certain countries.

One of the saddest things to me is that the old well established names many of us grew up are now built down to a quality equal to an unknown name for Taiwan; for example.

I have some tools made in Birmingham, England in the 1920,s that were passed on to me and they are built to a standard that I believe has now vanished, these are the tools that I first pick up because they are just so well made and feel great with a quality of steel that is always there.I wonder how many tools I could buy now to pass on and expect my grandson to be using with admiration 90 years from now?

You can blame the stock market for part of this. Investors want more at any cost so labor goes oversees to increase profits to pay investors more. Too bad people can not be happy with just a decent income.

The problem was the fraud/fake knock off that our government does not want to curb. You do the research, testing, development, patent & investing. It will take the CHINESE in China to copy and flood the market in no time. It's a losing battle 'cause its ZERO RETURN. I hope we all wakes up 'cause nothing left for our children.

I wish people would stop blaming the Chinese for everything. If Americans, and people from other Western countries didn't go over there looking to build factories, using cheaper, (obviously non-union) labour, this would not be problem. Support our own, and this is not an issue. Easy to say, hard to do.

[BusaNostra]

Well, I'm committed to patronized my own first before profit. If I go down to the drain, i failed my children.

 

I heard a businessman took his prototype in China to produce the goods and plan selling it back here. He said, the Chinese has a mandatory 1 month holding the prototype before it can be produced....and you know what it means - holding for a month means to copy. We are looking for trouble dealing with unfair business.
