mate you get what you pay for.... in the case of china/korea/asian turbos... you will get a cjheap turbo that makes som power, but doesnt spool as early, or make as muich power as a well made "name" brand turbo... its not to say the cheaper option is totally shit... but there are better options out there for a few bucks more.

check out the garret range, or even second hand HSK turbos... a 2350 would be perfect for what you want.. it will make 230 rwkw and have awesome response for the street.

this just in:

---------------------

RB20- Standard Internals

Hyper Gear HR43 High Flow Turbo

High Mount Manifold

External 38mm Wastegate, Screamer

Z32 AFM

550cc Injectors

Speed Lab Remap ECU

Running 19psi made 245 rwkw

dmac_25 has just finished putting on a TR43

I went for a drive with it on 10psi and it goes alright - pulls hard from like 4,500 all the way to red line easilt

Have to see how it goes once its tuned - but PM him if you want more details

Standard RB20 with FMIC, GTR pump, turbo back exhaust and CEF11E remap (for bigger injectors and Z32 AFM) but they weren't on the car at the time

It looks neat though, you can't tell there is an after market turbo on there - retains all the stock intercooler piping etc

untuned on the RB20 with exhaust and cooler it came on full boost about 4,500rpm I think it was

Yep it is starts spooling at bout 3 hits 10psi about 4-5k rpm and pulls like a bitch all the way to the limiter

funny Simon I don't remember reading anything about you being disappointed

with the power fig and response when yopu fitted it up

:teehee:

guess sometimes you gotta keep your thoughts to yourself lol

2530 will eat a tr43 response wise and only make alittle less power 230ish

fullboost by 3,500 and would pull all the way to redline

I though that was alittle laggy cant imagine what 4,500rpm full boost would be like on a 20

I'd want 260rwkw min for that sort of lag

i mentioned several times that i was never very happy with the responce on an rb20, maybe try reading harder. Power was good tho.

now that i have a good turbo... its easy to compare it to the bad ones ')

Simon: First of all I don't remember that we sold you a TR43 high flowed version or if you were one of our customer at all.

We are not KKR so If you had bad experiences from other turbo suppliers please chase up with them instead.

The TR43 Hi flowed turbo developed is a High boost High Efficiency project built with 360 degrees trust bearing and a lot stronger shaft.

Supra_R32 on this forum has made 245RWKWs at 18PSI full boost at 4300 RPM with a RB20 we have made 280RWKWs with this turbo on a 1.8L CA18det !!! .

Even for a Standard TR43 we've made 190RWKWs on a RB20det with 10PSI of boost with factory every thing.

Turbo is just a compressor, If you've bought this turbo and not making power, then I suggest you to check your tunning as well as other supporting mods.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
