What would you choose for your RB and why?

Are these the latest and greatest in turbos?

Wanna hear your thoughts guys or anybody with some 1st hand experience or results

Cheers!

Are these the latest and greatest in turbos?

They've been around since 2005/2006, maybe earlier. Can't remember exactly. Hardly "latest and greatest".

They seem to have a bit of a following in the drag world, so they make the power. Does it mean they are good for street? Who knows.

Either way, if they were as good as they say, everyone would be using them or they would've at least penetrated the market a little more than they currently have after nearly 6-7 years.

Yeah there seems to be a few results with the large frame turbos but Im more interested in the medium framed units. Thanks ash yeah I do know they have been out a while wasn't sure how long though and my statement "latest and greatest" was purely a figure of speech mate as after reading their sales pitch they 'claim' to be packed with the latest technology. Maybe they are still a hidden gem as most people who are looking to upgrade generally take the proven packages and who could blame them when you are relieving your bank balance of $2000+

You not thinking of changing your turbo already are you Mick_o?!

mmmmmaybe lol like the GTX when I got it there wasn't many if any results on Rb25's and Im just curious as these things sound and look pretty good but no results on the mid sized turbos

From the looks of it they are only really boasting about their bearing cartridge.

All the wheel sizes look rather familiar with the typical garret items, and they also have a model which specifially runs borg warner compressors.

It has a very hypergear feel to it, reinventing the wheel... but on a generic level with aerospace quality.

I would be more inclined to pick up an FP30 and push more boost dude ;)

They are machining their own wheel designs soon, up until now they have been mixing and matching from current manufacturers. Their bearing cartridge looks like a good design and there is logic behind it.

i have a Mr turbo billet 72mm turbo

"S72-GTS" with a .81 rear housing which is rated 800-1000hp (they say)

Which is hanging on a built 26/30

Should have it running and tuned by january so i will post results.

There was a VL calais with same turbo and motor combo pushing out 450rwkw on 18psi pump fuel.

I will be running e85 and around double the boost so we shall see how it goes.

6boost also promotes and sells these turbos if that helps with anything.

Also has or had one on his personal car which was a 8 or 9 second corolla i think....

low mount twins? :D

ooo inconel... that's the super fancy metal isn't it? - looks like you can just get their chra's as welll...

"Our new core assembly (chra) is machined from Billet aluminium like all our turbochargers and incorparates our silicone nitride dual ball bearing system. The bearing housing is machined to fit OEM turbine and compressor housings sizes and oil and water ports suit original lines and fittings.

All turbine wheels are inconel to allow higher constant egt's.

We offer a number of wheel combinations including billet compressor wheels. We can supply as chra only or machine your housings to suit choosen wheel configurations."

So could you 'upgrade' your Garrett/HKS turbo with these fancy new bearing options?

I thought you were trying to sell your setup Jake? Be a crying shame to spend all that money on a huge setup and at not see how it runs??? Keen as hell to see your results mate :rolleyes:

Yeah Daniel incolnel can withstand ridiculous temperature variations without expanding and contracting therefore the material doesnt fatigue like other metals :thumbsup:

Mate I was selling up only due to wanting to build a more mental Rb either 3.2 or 3.4 litre with a stupendously sized turbo but ill thrash this motor until it lets go now.

I though I'd be able to sell it easier if it was brand new and could be inspected so I put it up for sale just to see if I had interest.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
