Is anyone on here familiar with OBX turbo's and parts in general? Are they any good? they seem middle road price wise.. quality looks good in pictures and sounds good in their sales splurge.. What is the reality though?

Thank you

Lee

I thought they were US based.. Well was led to believe that.. Okay.. so steer well clear.. In that case what do you think of Master Power turbo's? I have heard good things in the US but not too much outside of there?

Cheers

a mate has a master power on his xe falcon, his (i think they all are) is a bush bearing, seems to go well tho, he only has it on 10psi tho as it is a standard 250 and is already making 180rwkw.

OBX sppears to be the exactly the same as all the no-name crap from china, but they have just done a better job of branding it. IMO its crap and youd be better off just buying the crap no-name stuff for cheaper as its exactly the same. some parts are alright such as exhausts, fuel rails and camgears, even though the degree markings ore often a little out but you dial them on a dyno anyway. stay away from FPR's as they break, BOV's leak etc and anything that has precise moving parts

their seats are fine and adr approved unlike most jap brands.

so what's with the anti-china talk? in the 70s you would get exactly the same feedback about japanese cars.....

you can pay top $$$ or you can take a chance with cheap. its like that with anything you buy in the world why should car parts be any different?

btw where did the computer you typed on come from?

      Max horse power stock internals?

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
