ITS turbos?

[cordiapower]

Anyone knows of american brand ITS turbo (innovative turbos)? I'm planning to put one on my r33, guy said its 500hp lag free turbo, i find it hard to believe but turbos exhaust housing is pretty small with big exhaust wheel and big compressor housing and wheel...anyone heard of these or seen them on a car...?

[The Mafia]

careful now.. you could end up losing your cash.. I'd do alot of research..

I've never heard of them.

I agree with above

ITS is a very well-known (in USA) turbo company. There are one or two big name workshops in Aus that are now using these turbos. Innovative Turbo Solutionss also fabricate exhaust manifolds, wastegates, intakes and other turbo components.

There is also an ITS (Australia).

Becareful there's always a fine line between finding a good thing and being the person that posts up saying "dont buy one of these i did and it sucked".

Maybe if you put up the claimed specs and or a link to the website one of SAU's turbo specialists might look at it (discopotato p'raps).

ITS is a valid brand of turbos, I know UAS has used them on a number of GTS-T's and made good power. I believe they are US made?

ITS are not a cheap dodgey brand...

yeah seen them at UAS. Quality of finish is about the same as garret stuff, not sure about internal quality though. They call it a 500hp turbo (going on the basis that the turbo you mean is the internal gate job like in the above picture), but i dont know where they get that from, it looks like a baby next to my 2835ProS that will only make ~460hp at the most.

That said thought i think UAS were getting somewhere round 250 at the wheels which is good for what it is. If i remember correctly i think it is oil cooled only. (?)

edit: if they are US made then that might explain why they call it a 500HP turbo.

I also belive that Innovative Turbo's are pretty decent.

I know for a fact US measure HP differently (Typical Yanks ) to the rest of the world. Their claimed 500Hp is most likely about 400Hp. It's not that they are BS'ing or exaggerating, but there formula for measuring Hp is completely different to most countries.

ITS are a quality turbo, just do your research

But they're not lag free

[R32-GTS]

ITS is probably the biggest performance turbo manufacturer in the US. Per4manz in perth is the distributor for them and i think Tony Rigoli Performance are also. They use these turbo's on there 8-9 sec cars so theres an indication of there performance. very good turbo.

And so are there dyno measurements. I would take about 15-20% of any US HP figures.

And once again, ITS are a respected turbo company.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thats the exact turbo I have on my RB20.

Dont get the rush till 4500rpm

And full boost is not till 6k.

Would be much better on RB25.

I made 225rwks@16psi (11.7:1 afr)

Rear AR is .48 too

MR WRX uses one

10 second car and never had a problem

You can see different ITS turbos available here: http://www.innovativeturbo.com.au/sh.html

Mine is T57-1 sreet series rated 500 hp

Same turbo made 327hp atw on r33 with standard computer, 420hp at 18psi, and im getting my car tuned next week with this turbo with wolf 3d computer and will run 15psi so we'll see what power it'll make, hopefully not too much for standard engine

[r33_racer]

I believe SK uses one too. a t66 not t57-1
