Gee they all this makes them sound like a real good turbo!!! lol

Laggy, weird design, china born.......im beginning to think they might be worth the little money you pay for them!!

THERE IS NO DUMP FOR THE Wastegate flap like Garret and EVERY OTHHER BLOODY TURBO.

http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...71_452203_1.htm

you mean like this one? It's also a fairly common arangement on hitachi, mitsubishi, and as a result trust internal gate turbos from the mid 80's to the mid 90's aswell. The v band arrangement isn't uncommon either.

You're talking about a turbo that is obviously old tech (at least the core) but it makes it's claimed power apparently and it costs bugger all. It doesn't mean i want to go out and buy one as i think you would be better off getting something a little easier to install (read common t3 exhaust arangement) and so save some money there that can then be spent on the turbo itself.

What i do like about these turbo's is they are obviously aimed at the performance enthusiast on a budget, the same as the china intercoolers and the china manifolds and the china radiators and the china coilovers, they offer 3 versions to suit your application, they have warranty, and they offer install if you can't do it yourself (which means warranty support).

well

similar exhaust outlet for the wastegate flaap.

end of story these turbos are for ricers who just want a "turbo car"

NOT A TUNED PERFORMANCE CAR! ( as the japs say)

POS TURBO!

so are you gonna keep bagging something without fact?

no one post has any.

That design wouldnt be so bad as its cleanly split, not like other int gate turbos that are close to the turbine outlet

nismoid.. i have facts

in my own brain from experience

ive tuned 5 cars with these turbos.. customers like them.. nice big top end power after 5000rpm till redline *usualy 8,000rpm* but they suck for street racing!

period!

drag only or watever

here is a lag diagram

a7t08.jpg

on a ca18det

kkr 330(smaller one)

full boost between 3000-3500 not bad for a ca18 if you ask me.. good midrange as well

other mods it has is a z32 airflow meter and gtr injectors

Edited by fatz

Yeh i agree thats not too bad acutally. Seen as i would be looking at using it on an RB20 i would be looking at the smaller version, i.e. not the 480, i think its the 440?

And guys theres no need to argue, were all friends right?

......right :)

are these the 480 on 2Ltr or 2.5Ltr motors?

If it gives me 250rwkw and full boost by 4000rpm I don't care where it was made...

my mat ehad one on his S14.. and yes IT IS LAGGY.... started boosting at 5000rpm..

Personally i liek RESPONSE@!!!

1.1 ex housing on an SR is going to be laggy, no matter what brand turbo. On an RB25 it may respond differently..

Getting back onto the original topic - does anyone have a dyno printout or experience with one of these turbos on an RB25?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
