Just checking to see if anyone has purchased and installed the Tomei Arms Turbo MX-8265 and was able to dyno. I just purchased this on a black Friday sale and I wont be able to install and test until it gets a little warmer here. I saw a 240 install this turbo on YouTube, but no information on his numbers yet. I can update once installed, but this turbo is so new you cannot even register it for warranty on the Tomei website....

I also purchased the Tomei turbo elbow to assist with back pressure. Again not installed.

Hello Joe,

I'm really keen to know aswell since HKS GT-RS kit for RB25 have been discontinued.

I was seriously considering picking up the Tomei Arms due to it being one of the only bolt on turbo kits still available from a Japanese tuning house but read not so promising feedback on the units.

Good link, alot of product info. I don't really understand turbo specs. Can someone help interpret the turbine, compressor wheel figures and trim? What is it comparable with Garret catalogue? Their naming convention seems more straight forward.

Billet compressor wheels are a good feature but ball bearings are generally more favourable than journals.

Hope it turns out to be a ripper turbo though, please tell us how it goes.

Going to be honest, they're pretty poor performing turbos.

If you look carefully at them, they're just rebadged turbos.

Hey, just checking to see if you have seen them in action, or have any dyno results to show their poor performance. Are they rebadged stock turbos? I know a number of people have hi-flowed their turbos and they are happy with them, so wondering about that as well. 

Just checking to see where you have got this information from, it would be helpful for me.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
