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...?

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).

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 know for a fact US measure HP differently (Typical Yanks :D ) 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.

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.

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?

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

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
