Better match for the 3L IMO.

Better match for the 3litre than what options? I'm not solid on the HKS equivalents for those power levels these days, reckon there are lots of good units out there. One of the cooler new beasties to hit the market I reckon is the Forced Performance GT3794HTA... though if you want something physically big and aren't shy to pay the bling (as buying the HKS T51R would imply) I'd really look at the new Garrett GTX4294Rs. How awesome would that be? ;)

Looking for something around the 800hp mark with a bit of response.

Looked at so far:

HKS T51R KAI

Turbonetics Hurricane (Benita) BB

Precision PT6765SP Billet BB

There is a fairly big price difference between the HKS turbo and the other two. But the T51R has the turbo whine that im after. ;)

Turbine whine is easy to sort out, just get anything which a decent antisurge setup ;) The GT3794HTA and the Garrett GTX4294HTA both have antisurge housings but are actually a little quiet probably due to the compressor design, PT6765 are also pretty quiet and the 3794HTA make more power - fwiw.

Borg Warner S300SX 91/79 could be fun as well - the Borgs are cheap and pretty tough and rowdy :banana:

The BW 366XL looks the goods but they are only oil cooled and journal bearing.

Do they make water cooled BB?

I wouldn't get too wound up about ball bearing vs plain bearing, there are quite a few journal bearing turbo combinations out there which give the BB Garretts a run for their money.... pay attention to the reliability/performance/owners comments of turbo combinations instead of what the marketing say. In terms of non-water cooling, what are you intending on using it for?

A bit of everything really. Powerful enough to put down a decent time but responsive enough to give the circuit ago.

This Supra seems to be fairly responsive with 760hp. And a circuit car too.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
