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 -.-

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
