I am in NZ, a mate of mine was running a Turbonetics T66 on his GTS4 for quite some time and it did hold on fine until he blew his motor and the oil got contaminated and stuffed the turbo. It was quite impressively laggy given it was on a 3litre, though granted it was a plain bearing/non GTK version. I'm surprised to hear they are potentially competitively price in Oz as here they are really expensive, probably part of the reason they are never used.

Its interesting that in their country of origin hardly anyone seems to use them either if you look through specs of all their time attack and top drag cars.

Yeah you have to buy them from the states to get them at the prices listed before. Otherwise you can get them from Turbonetics in Australia for about $1000 dearer.

Ahh ok, yeah so once you have paid freight + GST then they are equally expensive...

Holy macaroni, Ive never heard of this turbo! is it new?

i gotta find some cars using this on youtube

Will it boltup to my HKS manifold and dump that my HKS T51R SPL BB is currently fitted to?

If so whats the damage to upgrade to this turbo?

Who's the lucky bugger that works for Performance Wholesale then?

Off topic but is Wendy Mac going well? Do you hear from or see her?

Maybe you need to give Mark a call and have a chat with him. It is standard repalcement for you T51R SPL BB in every way. Got to love another 200HP......

Yep, she calls a few times a day. Busy working for KRE (her husband). I can't believe the amount of engines Ken pumps out the door. The guy doesn't sleep! Cheers for asking.

Anyway back on topic now - sorry.

Don't be silly, HKS aren't so helpful as to provide what kind of flow you should expect from one of those turbos. Aside from price, its the main reason I'd never own an HKS turbo :3some:

It's not HKS's responsibility to provide compressor maps for these, considering they are a Garrett turbocharger. It's like the T51R, HKS won't even sell the compressor maps for these. Garrett on the other hand....

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
