i jsut came across it on Ebay so I ran a search on here to avoid reposting...

I figured the initial reactions would be like the ones posted above but has anyone actually tried these?? Or can give good (technical) reasons why these ARE crap?

just curious

Flow rates mostly.

Its hard to prove they are shit when theres so few specs available on them.

Information like this isnt useful:

"Will it generate boost throughout the entire rev range?

The Generation 1 will generate boost in all applications up to 5ltrs"

So if you have a 5L it might flow enough air to make 1 psi. Whoopy doo. It might be useful for low end gains which are always handy on a street car.

If I said i sold a "Universal" turbo id be laughed out of the industry since its well known that not just any snail will do. So why should this be any different?

make ya turbo skyline slower!!!! add's restriction in the air intake LOL

Can the Generation 1 be used with a mechanical turbo?

Yes, The Generation 1 can be placed between the intercooler and the inlet manifold, this will generate boost in the lower rev range and eleviate mechanical turbo lag.

Teeehehehehhehee

I want one for my wifes proton.. LoLz

i just noticed it said it spins at 25,000rpm ... now i dont know what the nissan turbos spin at especially since theres a shitload of different ones but i heard that turbos can spin up to 150,000rpm..

so if u could imagine the difference in air rates... also i noticed this

"Toyota Supra 3.0 will definitely buy again" ... must be a piece of crap that breaks easy cos why would u need another?.. haha

hehe hmm yeh re-reading it i found the line "up to 20bhp increaseguaranteed"... doesnt really make sense... is it at least 20 or 'up to' to?

still love to see some inbiased results... what if its like really awesome and we're all this dissing it.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
