gday guys

just wondering if anyone has heard of this specific turbo?

Apexi AX53B70 turbo

if so im just after the power rating and so forth and the quality of the turbo

thanks

chris

Hey mate it will depend on the number on the exhaust housing there are a few different ones

The P25 is rated at 380hp and the P28 is about 5-600hp but there is also a pretty noticeable size difference, i mean a 600hp turbo is generally BIG physically

I had a AX53B70 P25 on my RB25 and it was awesome! I had several tuners say to me that its response was like nothing they had seen and it managed 255rwkw at 17psi, I wouldnt go anymore than that as i did and snapped a shaft after the exhaust wheel became unbalanced, the exhaust wheel is ceramic so it is not to fond of masive boost so keep it below 18psi and you will be right.

It is a great turbo i miss mine and wish i never broke it :P I still have it on my desk at work ad dream about how good my car was when i had it lol....you could say i am rather attached to it

a ceramic wheel that is still safe when boosting around 17psi?

hmmm, i mean one of the many reasons i want to upgrade my turbo is to get a stronger internal set up

but i guess if its responsive.... im not sure what the number is on the exhaust housing

ill check it out

it is ceramic but it holds together better than the stock ones just dont run like 25psi through it and it will live, even the turbos used in RX6 kits use ceramic...obviously a ceramic designed for higher boost

hmmm Nath's rx6's seen 1.8 bar

three dyno pulls would have thought that would have been enough to have it let go

it may live as the ceramic seems much more hardy than the factory stuff, but i have a friend who broke two of them on his s15 before changing to somthing else
