Hey all, been searching the net and SAU and havent found much regarding slide industries turbo chargers and accessories.

Wondering if any of you have used/are using one of their turbo's and are they any good?

any info would be appreciated, cheers.

Looking at their ebay ad's. Their "GT35R" is not a real Garrett unit, it's a China copy. The ad really should make mention of the fact - but it doesn't.

Why not just purchase from the trusted SAU Traders down in the For Sale area of the forum? Many businesses, all reputable, catering for anything really.

There are items for people on strict budgets.

There are those that want the best performance regardless of the money.

Given you are looking at economy priced turbos, get something from Hypergear - not some old T04 piece of junk, you will regret it.

Solid advice given above.

Hypergear is the only true reliable and easy budget option IMHO.

Kando Dynamic are a good thing also, but they do entail a lot more effort and custom parts which can end up more expensive (despite the lower initial outlay).

How can they possibly make a t04z and sell it for 700 bucks?? Thats ridiculous.

I got my garret one second hand 5 years ago and it cost a shite load then arent genuine ones upward of 3k?

Nah, got my "old TO4 piece of junk" :rolleyes: new from a garret dealer for $1700..

Thanks for the advice guys, its obvious that its just a headache to go cheap parts, with the time it takes to install and tune only to have it break. i will be keeping my eye out on the for sale thread!

I was looking at their 'GT35' specs are way out, just like the majority of the cheapies ive seen on the market.

I Don't think there as bad as most "eBay" turbos, Ryan "slide" Cummings runs a Slide Industries ( its his company ) turbo kit on his S13.5

That was the kit I was considering.

Would be good to actually get one to test reliablitiy for others to have a cheaper alternative to Garrets and the like.

Ive decided to go a Hypergear turbo, on a top mount manifold though, thanks to some good advice from other SAU members :)

Well given they are not Garrett GT series wheels (look like T04 wheels from the good old 1970s), and likely not ball bearing either...

So fine for a car that lives about 5000rpm most of it's life - terrible for a car you would intend to drive on the street.

When I got my car, I started looking on E-bay for turbos, turbo kits, exhausts, intercoolers and everything you can think of - still do, but not for cheap stuff anymore.

Being new to the skyline scene, found a turbo kit on ebay for 800 bucks!! was thinking awesome, cheap! done! lol. GT35r, manifold, dump pipe, wastegate, everything..

after a few months of reading on here, and researching, more reading and then having another look properly I soon reaslied you cant go for cheap shit. if you want the power and reliablity.

Before knowing any better, had a budget of 4-5k for an engine build and bolt ons.From pricing stuff on ebay LOL. Now im at almost 20k(from other builds on here its still not that pricey) and the car is still not running. Putting things into perspective, the cheap ebay complete turbo kit for $800 that sounded like a bargain, just covers the cost of my turbosmart 50mm wastegate. Turbo by itself was $2200.

You can do it for cheaper, buy cheap turbos and stuff, and make ok power and probably be happy.. but for how long? Do it right the first time, spend the little extra to save you money in the long run.

For a cheaper turbo, hypergear are nice, personally I would look at Borgwarner.http://www.himni-racing.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25_288&zenid=s7s06ugd1cui7p2aoas5usbt61

Exactly, I don't mind using Ebay, if its for good parts as you said stiddy.

Luckily my Skyline had a HKS exhaust and a good fmic when i bought it :D

I would love to buy a genuine garret turbo but as this is a street car and I'm aiming for around 270rwkw with an unopened 25, a hypergear turbo, New injectors and coil packs with my wolf 3d V4 tuned right *should* be reliable. haven't had much luck with this car -.-

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
