apexi dont release compressor maps, like hks.

theres probably not a great deal of information as not many people use them. people prefer to use a proven and well used combination, as you can see what results youll get and it takes out the guess work.

the rb25 turbo upgrade thread covers most of the common turbo's so you would be mad to go out on a limb and choose some not tried turbo and be disappointed with the results

Just google "apexi AX53B70 turbo" plenty of info out there

from what I understand, better response then a HKS 2535 and more allround power too.

if I had the cash to buy a brand name turbo - my money would be on this turbo

:)

from my experiences with owning this turbo, but on a rb20 and research into them on a rb25

they are nearly as responsive as a hks 2530 and around the same power as a gtrs

ultimate low mount for this kind of engine in my opinion

seen one make 238rwkw on 10psi with a nearly perfect torque curve

that is good power 10psi , yeah i woundlnt mind going something different and it is a more complete kit with all gaskets etc, but the gt-rs may come with then but they may come with them, looking to also find a power figure ,but i s kinda hard to find for the 25det heaps for sr20 etc

I've got one of these running on my car..

Mine is putting out 225kw at 14psi, but i'm running a very safe tune (rich) and i've got some other issues that need sorting out (need hiflow cat and cams). These turbos have AWESOME response. Everyone that has tuned/driven my car is amazed by how meaty the mid-range is. Power capability of the turbo top out at about 270kw I think. There are a number of guys using the same turbo on SAU actually.

Bunta - has just had one installed - 240kw untuned

Phat6 - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=120898 - Just sold his GTS-T with this turbo which pulled 240kw.

This thread has some more info: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...&hl=AX53B70

I'd definitely recommend it!

Dyno Graph:

yeah i've heard that it runs out of huff around the 260 mark, but also heard that some people have managed more. with the way that dynos can be incorrectly calibrated though it'd be easy to overshoot the 260 mark :)

Nah Bunta was getting 245kw on 1.1 bar (16psi)...

Bunta Wrote:

"Finally got the results back from tuner...245rwkw VERY conservative tune and 1.1bar of boost not sure of the torque figure as I have not actually seen the graph yet, The tuner wants me to run it on this setting for a month or so to make sure everything is coping then he is confident that a bit more boost and a more agressive tune will get another 20rwkw roughly! So there you have it! Somthing to compare too at last!"

hey i have this turbo,

but am yet to install.... very interested to see as 2 what people say about it... i decided myself to go out on a limb to see what they are like as there made by apexi i figured they would have to be preety good...

all help apreciated here...

One of the lads in the sa section suggested that he was pulling 300rwkw with one of these, a whole lot of mods tho (maybe including engine rebuild) I believe.

Fact is, Id love one of these turbos, but I could never afford a new one, and after months of searching for a 2nd hand one I sorta gave up. Im going to use Slides turbo for around 3 to 4 yrs, and then relook for one of these apexi turbos for my awd stagea. ;)

thanks Primordial.

Found this page

http://www.apexera.co.jp/carlife/pro_apexi.../ax53b6070.html (use bablefish to translate www.altavista.com)

I worked out from the pdf that it would cost about $2,588 before delivery.

Anyone who of any other places this turbo can be purchased from?

cheers

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
