isnt this the turbos off ebay or something (made in china)?

Ebay yes, China unsure....why does it matter? I bet if Garrett was made in China (I don't know, is it?) you wouldn't say that. If quality control is equal, there's nothing wrong with something being manufactured in China.

Also I suspect that Kinugawa was manufactured in either Japan or Taiwan

Kando stuff seems fine, though polished isn't really good for anything but rice factor - trying to see the relevence there. I'd consider their products one of my top choices for a build if I didn't already have a decent turbo.

The ATP housings aren't Garrett made etc - they are a solution they have offered and aren't their main crust so its not too surprising that there are very workable niggles. Best option for Garrett turbos at the moment, Kando don't turbo twin scroll turbos and these ATP housings definitely perform very very well on the cars I've encountered with them.

thats good to hear Lith, im hoping i have made the right decsion with this setup

Don't bother trying to use studs, pull them out and use cap screws... Got a turbo with the same housing here and it's no problem.

SO i went and got some cap screws today,

all is good we just had to hand file around that one hole.

here is what we did - post-59990-0-60177100-1310701473_thumb.jpg post-59990-0-36091400-1310701501_thumb.jpg

just woundering i got the same thread cap screws as the studs can i just screw the cap screws into the manifold or should i redrill the manifold and use the nuts on the end of cap screws?post-59990-0-01906900-1310701708_thumb.jpg

And yes, they appear to work very very well and reliably for a fraction of the price.

awesome in fact, my new project will most likely have 2 of the 8cm t67 variants hanging off the side.

Percentage of the price would be more indicative of the comparison :P

Ok smarty pants, considering they are roughly 50% of the cost of the average competitors product, the difference could be expressed as 1/2.

Aka a fraction.

Hi can anyone tell me if they have used or know of anyone using the new GTX3794R turbo on a RB engine? And what results.Thanks

The thread started as 'soon to be released' and has documented all known about the gtx range on RB motors. Perhaps read the thread and search the forum, if someone has results they would have posted them.

i know garrett make the GT3794R but cant find any information on any GTX3794R,

A quick google search shows why, its a 900+hp turbo crammed into a GT35 housing.

40psi efficiency... should be sweet for my std rb............ why arent we all running one :P

would like to see it on a decent engine though.

Well what is your take on boost pressure into a factory motor? It is an ongoing debate between those who think its irrelevant and those who think x psi will blow the motor.

I think this is fairly relevant as these new turbos all seem to be designed around big pressure ratios, gtx included.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
