Have either of you seen or bought from this company before. Yer i know a $1100 turbo will be good but tbh why not Dare to be different lol.

Worst case Scenario the thing blows and i get an excuse for a full rebuild lol.

I was posting on here to see if anyone had bought from the company before and had some actual feedback to give on the products.

Cheers C

Hey chris, good to see ya on the forums :)

yeah i'd stay away from monsta if I were you. we've had people come into the workshop with their manifolds which have misaligned bolt holes, badly cut gaskets and bad casting... and one person with a wastegate that was leaking from factory.

The VL boys here in melbourne seem to have it in their heads that this is a good product, and are often the ones conned into buying them. they're cheap and nasty. they ship quick and have a streamlined system, but their products are horrible.

Those turbo's are bad very very bad, i have heard storied of the turbo destroying itself after 10,000km then getting them rebuilt and only lasting another 5,000km due to the inferior metals and build quality plus i know monsta claim that the turbos are balanced when they are made but im starting to get they impression they the person who does the balancing doesnt actually know how to operate the machine.

eyah most of those cheaper turbos arent balanced, thats where the main problems come from. look at KKR turbos instead, still cheap and chinese but with proven reliability

that said, go do a quick search on calaisturbo.com.au you'll find a few threads on monsta, alot of people say they are unreliable etc, but they're are quite a few people on there using em, only posting good things, so meh, who knows

I know its not a turbo but i bought a set of dumps..and they were absolute shit. They look good until you try and fit them, bolt holes dont match, bend and angles all wrong.

Have some respect for your skyline and dont put monsta shit on it.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
