Comes with actuator, but no water or oil lines.

Have someone checking it out tomorrow, so if your interested let me know. Its at G&D performance in Cranbourne if you want to check it out.

As I understand its built for a standard RB25 manifold. Read the horsepowerinabox link for exact details. It fits the T3 flange.

what power were you making @ what boost? And when did yu see full boost?

cheers

Well i had it on a commodore (please dont hurt me :D ) so i saw full boost just off idle! Being a 3.8l engine it was just a little too small of a housing. This turbo is designed for you guys so I wouldnt be worrying about power figures. It will give you more than you can handle. Basically, on 14-17psi it should make around 280rwkw on your engines.

"Should" and "Does" are two totally different things, unless you are offering a money back guarantee. On a std engine, you would need more than 17psi to make 280rwkw.

Don't mean to discredit your sale, as it has been proven to be a good turbo, just don't like reading figures that have been pulled out of the air.

Good luck

Yeah of course dude. People are asking me for dyno sheets. I am saying that a dyno sheet on a 3.8L engine is pretty much meaningless.

I got that power figure from this site. All I am saying is it is this turbo and some indication of the potential. It is made for a 2.5L skyline not a commodore.

The turbo has only been running for a month or so in an very restricted setup so as to pass an emissions test. Then it was back to build.

Car has been off the road for the rest of the time since purchasing last year.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
