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:

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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
