Monsta! Performance

[BigC82]

Hi guys am Chris am an area rep in Glasgow for:

Skylineowners.com

I have had my R33 Gtst since July and after Extensive Bodywork i am now lookin to upgrade the performance of the car!!

I've been lookin at monsta performance products on ebay......But being the other side of the world Literally lol. I'm unsure of the quality of these products and advice and help wud be great.

Cheers BigC82

Ps here's a link to there shop!!

Chinese shit

Better off with a tried and proven turbo for both good response, power deliver and power output

[dmr]

a trusted name turbo will always be better bang for buck in the end.

[BigC82]

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.

Cheers Funky ur a star mate was all i was lookin for well back to the idea's of an Rb30 lump then lol. So am guessin they are the equivalent to the Xs power crap we get over here then

Cheers Bud ur a legend

[BigC82]

So lads any more feedback on this company?

Cheers C

[lingeringsoul]

I've read somwhere that no less than 5 have had the turbo highflowing itself after 1 or 2 power runs on the dyno.

I'm a tight ass and I still wouldn't go for it.

don't doo eet!!!

try it and tell us your feedback

[OVADRV]

as they say "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR "

[LBR33]

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.

[VB-]

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

Hey BigC!

I just checked out your work-in-progress.

It is looking sweet! Keep it up

[femno]

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.

[BigC82]

Thanks lads will take ur advice on board.

Auch TBH lads i spent some serious cash on me brief cosmetically. I aint gonna cut corners at this stage to have a lovely car parked up. The lads at Knight racer are pretty well Connected and will hook me up with some tuners here was jus caught up in the bling bling lol but nah not worth it.

Cheers Guys mucho appreciated great site Btw will be stickin round more often if thats ok!!!!

Cheers BigC82

[SECURITY]

listen to them mate. i had a run in with a dodgy turbo, it cost me more money than what i actually bought it for.

ive got a GCG GT hiflow now and all my problems have mysteriously gone away. funny that.
