Def happens. Happened to mine too. Have pics to prove. Super picky, I noticed the OP slowly dropping.

Doesn't really do any good, especially without billet gears. The oem pump is crap. If it doesn't break, the screws holding the backing plate will come loose.

Has the VCT bulge on the intake(Actually, you can see the VCT solenoid on the intake side, so looks like an RB25, but thats not a RB26 intake for sure. Wouldn't be surprised if its a rb25 that someone has just 'slapped' on a turbo on the factory ecu. If its running like a dog, then the dead giveaway is the intake.. missing the AFM.

😵‍💫

Personally, I would, but it depends. On my everday car like a swift or corolla, I dont mind, but def not on something that has a bit of power. I used cheap chinese tyres on my corolla for years.. no issues. Mind you its gutless. The quality of the stuff coming out of china, and the rest of the asian countries def is getting better.

Heres one as we speak!

Trying my luck here to see if anyone's willing to let go, or upgrading from, before I look at buying new. I have a mint condition EFR9180 w 1.05(powder coated compressor cover) too for sale or swap. Done less then maybe 3-4000ks.

Personally I'd stick with ATI.. either 750 or 1000hp version, and stick a trigger kit too while youre at it. Lots of choices for trigger kits.. dont have to get PRP if you dont want to. Either way, wont get much change from 2knz. In saying that, the NZ Wiring CAS is an excellent upgrade too from stock.. lots of guys run them. Depends how much you want to fork out really and how hard youll be pushing your setup.

Me and me friend did this on his 33R in his basement carpark only using the torch from our phones. That top starter bolt musta taken us about an hour alone. Needless to say I am now an expert in removing R boxes in a basement carpark with iphone torch and limited number of tools

Obviously. Trying to figure out how much of a hit it will have on my response.

Thanks lith. Wow thats hideous haha. under 150kw by 4 and 250 by 5. In comparison, I'm making 260 by 4, and 370 by 5.. and thats in 5th gear as well. From 4k the line is almost linear. Ive been looking at the 9280... Not sure if that will get me 4 digits either. I'm so addicted to the response that I dont really want to lose it.

I am still after response, but I want to see what kind of a hit it will take.. I want to take my car over to Japan soon.

Get a lambda, and learn to not drive like a dick on the roads.

On the topic of the HKS GT III Turbo's.... What about GT75115_BB? https://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/product/turbo/universal/index.html Ive been having a look at this to replace my EFR9180 with. Theres a few cars that made 1250+hp with this on racegas: https://www.hks-power.co.jp/product/turbo/universal/example.html Anyone run this yet?? Especially on a 3.0 or 3.2 Perhaps?? Super interested..
