.86 rear housing, .60 front, made 250kw on low boost, virtually no lagg over stock turbo

Do you have graphs to back up this wild claim? 250kw, low boost, no lag :)

I am in the market for a turbo, so i do have a geniune interest.

before you put up an insult do some investigation yourself. check the link below, the lower rated 28/71r is rated at 390hp which equals about 285 kws.

who is talking bs now??????

great turbo upgrade for rb's. buyer will be happy. depending on sizings, it is the equivalent of the HKS GTRS

larger ARR and trim will be more suited to rb25

i run one in the smaller ARR and trim on my rb20 and made 230rwkws on 18psi with better response than the neo turbo i had on previous

Since item is sold, i'll reply:

Doing research is one thing, understanding it is another :( ; and unfortunately you have not understood the specs.

This turbo is rated at 440hp=310kw approx

This 310kw is at maximum flow at flywheel in ideal conditions without losses, etc. Consider losses in driveline, fuel inconsistancies, engine wear, etc and you'll probably have 250rwkw, but at maximum flow (max. boost), which is far higher than the 12psi claimed.

So try and understand what you read, before going off at people.

rb20inside: The Neo turbo is larger than the r33 rb25 turbo. So yes the Neo would be pretty damn laggy on a 20 :happy: 230rwkw at 18psi sounds about right for this turbo.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
