Better off with N/A than getting a "master power" turbo.

if its cheap, its cheap for a reason :blink:

Actually don't know anyone who has had a problem with one yet.... couple of high profile cars in NZ have been running them hard fine. Don't know much about that particular unit however.

T series wheels are dinosaurs as are T4 turbines . If you want to stay with a bush bearing Garrett based turbocharger I think you are better off looking into Garretts GT bush bearing turbos . Quite a bit cheaper that their GT ball bearing turbos and better overall than

the old T3 and T4 based turbos/centre sections . They are based on the GT32/35/37/40 etc turbines .

Cheers A .

BTW what sort of power are you after on what engine ?

my power goal is around about 260-280rwkws i already have a cast iron T4 flange HKS manifold with a HKS 50mm waste gate.

???

do you think Master Power turbos are cheap or something?

Master Power was founded in 1966 by Nelson Borghetti. Old skool rally cars used their turbos, they are NOt your average chinese copy made in taiwan crap cast turbos.

You are mis informed R31nismoid

If your HKS manifold is the one for the RB20/25DET then yes it has the T4 flange BUT the outlet ports and stud holes are split T3 pattern . If it were me I'd look at a divided housing GT3271 or possibly a GT3576 if I could find a suitable A/R housing for the 3576 . I think the 50mm gate will be too big and was under the impression that manifold used the HKS 40mm external gate ?

Will get back later about other twin scroll turbo options because there may be a few useful things in the TA34 range .

Cheers A .

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
