up to you but remember "you get what you pay for"

The classic line.

But this time I have to agree.. I usually don't but in regards to turbo's its really true.

You might as well pay a little extra and get something good, that is known to be good.

Piece of mind, and will probably be proven by other people to be a good quality product, that shows positive results.

Thanks,

Abu

jeez, 1.32? No boost until end of 2nd gear, beginning of 3rd gear or something?

1.32 isnt TOO bad on a 20b. the exhaust they produce is equivalent to a 3L.

ive seen a few of those turbos die. i think its the oil feed through. if you put this on make sure you get a 6mm oil feed made up for it. everyone i know thats failed has used the standard lines.

my 2c

Don't buy it :nyaanyaa: I'm with the others:

Manifold - will crack within a few months, face won't be straight, will need a bit of modding to fit

has the tube supporst on the wrong side!!!! so they won't stop it cracking, will need to spend about $150 on welding to actually make sure it doesn't crack, better off spending that money on something decent

Wastegate, looks like an XSPower Tial Copy, they are crap, I've heard of alsorts, mostly stuck spring/wastegate flap, which is bad especially if you are running high boost

Turbo - looks like the "T70 MonstA" off trademe, it's another XSPower styole copy with "geniune garrett internals(yeah right)" and will fall apart, which could take our your engine...

stay well clear, $700 would buy you a Greddy manifold or something similar, I'd then go get one of the highflows off this forum round 1100-1500 with internal gate, or if yuo really want external, buy a tial 38mm or 45mm and get that put on

buy a bolt on hiflow and forget the manifold and wastegate. a bush bearing hiflow can be had for under $1000 and will bolt right on and make 250rwkw, it will look stock and retain nissan housings. it may not look "fully sic" bit it will work :nyaanyaa:

The guy who bought the kit with the 1.32 ex binned the turbo and fitted a gt35r, the car has been running with the cheap arse manifold and wastegate for 2 years now without cracking the manifold, makes 309rwkw @16psi, the key is to brace the exhaust so the manifold doesnt take the weight

give it a go if you wanna rebuild

manifold will be fine

its the turbz you gotta worry about

did bits of your compressor travel the whole way through your cooler, intake piping, plenum, and into your cylinders? on an RB25?

no way !!

i didnt think that would happen :thumbsup:

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
