Damn thats right I forgot about the v-band. That turbo is a beauty. Ben Ellis at Otomoto gave me some info I liked. He said it will start boost around 2800 and makes 10psi at 3500. He said it will happily support 300whp. $770 US shipped is really cheap for such a turbo. Looks like no screamer or open wastegate for me. Thanks for replies.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.....

Don't believe everything a sales person tells you :D

In my option, they are a cheap shit turbo and are VERY laggy for the power they produce.

300whp=220wkw

You will be much better off finding a HKS GT2530 or GT2535; or a Garrett equivalent.

True but I'm looking for a direct bolt on to factory mani. Just something that will put down 300whp efficiently. If someone can modify the stock mani to accept a wastegate that will work too. I'm not trying to spend 500+ on a mani with those power levels.

The turbos i mentioned are direct bolt ons, to the factory manifolds. The HKS turbos can come as a complete kit, so you don't have to spend more money on water/oil lines, dump pipes, intake pipes, fmic piping, etc.

Why go external gate on such a low power goal? Better to keep it internal, when you consider epa, defects, etc.

going with the KKR and custom or just off the shelf lines will still work out heaps cheaper than an HKS turbo kit.

alot of people dont like them because failures have been well documented. ive never used one so i cant speak from experience. a ball bearing garret unit isnt much more expensive.

a mate had the 430 on his RB20 cefiro with a microtech ecu. it was tuned very rich and made 210rwkw on 20psi. far from massive power but 220 is definetly achieveable.

theres also no reason why you cant have an external gate. alot of guys in nz use external gates on the original manifold. the 430 is more than big enough to utilise an external.

our 180 has a TD05 16g, a fairly small turbo with a monster trust external gate.....

plus external gates sound very cool.

goodluck. :down:

I would want even that response in writing, ive tuned a few, and havnt found the response or boost threashold to be great.

90% or more of reports show people NOT happy with these turbos after purchase.

Thanks for responses. I'm now considering a gt30r or a tdo6-20g(If I desired more power its there). I don't mind a bit/alot more lag(save gas off boost :thumbsup: ). I want an external because I would trust it better than an internal and like esky_mad said it sounds cool. Nothing sounds like an external wastegate opening at 20psi. This car is just something to have a blast in. If I like it, I like whether its function or form.

maybe also look at a GT28RS/GT2530/GCG RB25 High-Flow.. should get you around the power figure u want with supporting mods =]

But will they pull to 8k? Again no reason for 8k other than thats where I want to take it. I was looking at a GT3076R. Will it bolt to stock mani with a spacer? I need some more info on the tdo6-20g as well. Whats its efficiently range?

Not 100% sure if they pull to 8K someone else would have to clarify on that one, i just know their the most responsive/low amount of lag turbo's that are direct bolt on for an RB20 that pull hard early (no v-band required just oil/water lines would most likely need to be changed) and they reach about the 230rwkw mark. Good luck on the hunt =]

Thanks man. I want to go ahead to get a turbo efficient to 20lbs or so. I want a 17-20lbs from 4000-4500 to 8k or more. My ka just would run out of steam too early for me because of rpm limitations.

do you have an SR20? either way I am running a trust T518Z on my SR20 it's currently making 226rwkw on about 16/17psi (from memory). pulls very hard and comes on very nicely. great little turbo.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
