Don't know but likely not too good. For a few of reasons, but the 2 main ones are 1) it's too cheap, and i don't mean by a little bit and 2) they don't even have pictures of the actual rb kit, and the kit they have pictured doesn't even have a 38mm wastegate, it has a copy of a 50mm hks gate so straight away you aren't getting that gate.

And the rest, because it's probably worth noting anyway. no specs on the turbo, they claim horsepower ranges from 220rwkw up to 550hp or so, it talks about running it in the stock location which says it's internally gated maybe? I dunno, also 5 bolt flange, again a bit odd, the 38mm gate they are offering is probably an hks copy which sell for around 200 bucks. The genuine article is 700 on it's own. So basically that leaves 500 for a turbo and a manifold, of which neither can be of any high standard when you consider the price of branded equivalents, or even copy equivalents.

Is that enough to convince you it's not worth buying? I haven't even talked about the cost of fitting yet....

Seen that my self, and it did cross my mind for a split second I must admit. I mean, at that price anyone is tempted.

But you have to look past the price, and see what your paying for, and how much.

For that price, it seriously couldn't be that good, and when it comes down to turbos & ex gates, you really do get what you pay for!

Your probably better off just sticking with the standard manifold, and getting a high flow turbo, or a GARRETT after market, which will also bolt up to standard manifold, and stay low mount.

Heaps of options now days, no need to buy the cheap shit.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      CD009 RB Conversion

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
