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

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

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
