Gee they all this makes them sound like a real good turbo!!! lol

Laggy, weird design, china born.......im beginning to think they might be worth the little money you pay for them!!

THERE IS NO DUMP FOR THE Wastegate flap like Garret and EVERY OTHHER BLOODY TURBO.

you mean like this one? It's also a fairly common arangement on hitachi, mitsubishi, and as a result trust internal gate turbos from the mid 80's to the mid 90's aswell. The v band arrangement isn't uncommon either.

You're talking about a turbo that is obviously old tech (at least the core) but it makes it's claimed power apparently and it costs bugger all. It doesn't mean i want to go out and buy one as i think you would be better off getting something a little easier to install (read common t3 exhaust arangement) and so save some money there that can then be spent on the turbo itself.

What i do like about these turbo's is they are obviously aimed at the performance enthusiast on a budget, the same as the china intercoolers and the china manifolds and the china radiators and the china coilovers, they offer 3 versions to suit your application, they have warranty, and they offer install if you can't do it yourself (which means warranty support).

well

similar exhaust outlet for the wastegate flaap.

end of story these turbos are for ricers who just want a "turbo car"

NOT A TUNED PERFORMANCE CAR! ( as the japs say)

POS TURBO!

so are you gonna keep bagging something without fact?

no one post has any.

That design wouldnt be so bad as its cleanly split, not like other int gate turbos that are close to the turbine outlet

nismoid.. i have facts

in my own brain from experience

ive tuned 5 cars with these turbos.. customers like them.. nice big top end power after 5000rpm till redline *usualy 8,000rpm* but they suck for street racing!

period!

drag only or watever

here is a lag diagram

on a ca18det

kkr 330(smaller one)

full boost between 3000-3500 not bad for a ca18 if you ask me.. good midrange as well

other mods it has is a z32 airflow meter and gtr injectors

Edited by fatz

Yeh i agree thats not too bad acutally. Seen as i would be looking at using it on an RB20 i would be looking at the smaller version, i.e. not the 480, i think its the 440?

And guys theres no need to argue, were all friends right?

......right :)

are these the 480 on 2Ltr or 2.5Ltr motors?

If it gives me 250rwkw and full boost by 4000rpm I don't care where it was made...

my mat ehad one on his S14.. and yes IT IS LAGGY.... started boosting at 5000rpm..

Personally i liek RESPONSE@!!!

1.1 ex housing on an SR is going to be laggy, no matter what brand turbo. On an RB25 it may respond differently..

Getting back onto the original topic - does anyone have a dyno printout or experience with one of these turbos on an RB25?

    • me too wasnt real happy and cost me a penny or 2 to replace
    • But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

    • After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
