Damn thats right I forgot about the v-band. That turbo is a beauty. Ben Ellis at Otomoto gave me some info I liked. He said it will start boost around 2800 and makes 10psi at 3500. He said it will happily support 300whp. $770 US shipped is really cheap for such a turbo. Looks like no screamer or open wastegate for me. Thanks for replies.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.....

Don't believe everything a sales person tells you :D

In my option, they are a cheap shit turbo and are VERY laggy for the power they produce.

300whp=220wkw

You will be much better off finding a HKS GT2530 or GT2535; or a Garrett equivalent.

True but I'm looking for a direct bolt on to factory mani. Just something that will put down 300whp efficiently. If someone can modify the stock mani to accept a wastegate that will work too. I'm not trying to spend 500+ on a mani with those power levels.

The turbos i mentioned are direct bolt ons, to the factory manifolds. The HKS turbos can come as a complete kit, so you don't have to spend more money on water/oil lines, dump pipes, intake pipes, fmic piping, etc.

Why go external gate on such a low power goal? Better to keep it internal, when you consider epa, defects, etc.

going with the KKR and custom or just off the shelf lines will still work out heaps cheaper than an HKS turbo kit.

alot of people dont like them because failures have been well documented. ive never used one so i cant speak from experience. a ball bearing garret unit isnt much more expensive.

a mate had the 430 on his RB20 cefiro with a microtech ecu. it was tuned very rich and made 210rwkw on 20psi. far from massive power but 220 is definetly achieveable.

theres also no reason why you cant have an external gate. alot of guys in nz use external gates on the original manifold. the 430 is more than big enough to utilise an external.

our 180 has a TD05 16g, a fairly small turbo with a monster trust external gate.....

plus external gates sound very cool.

goodluck. :down:

I would want even that response in writing, ive tuned a few, and havnt found the response or boost threashold to be great.

Thanks for responses. I'm now considering a gt30r or a tdo6-20g(If I desired more power its there). I don't mind a bit/alot more lag(save gas off boost :thumbsup: ). I want an external because I would trust it better than an internal and like esky_mad said it sounds cool. Nothing sounds like an external wastegate opening at 20psi. This car is just something to have a blast in. If I like it, I like whether its function or form.

maybe also look at a GT28RS/GT2530/GCG RB25 High-Flow.. should get you around the power figure u want with supporting mods =]

But will they pull to 8k? Again no reason for 8k other than thats where I want to take it. I was looking at a GT3076R. Will it bolt to stock mani with a spacer? I need some more info on the tdo6-20g as well. Whats its efficiently range?

Not 100% sure if they pull to 8K someone else would have to clarify on that one, i just know their the most responsive/low amount of lag turbo's that are direct bolt on for an RB20 that pull hard early (no v-band required just oil/water lines would most likely need to be changed) and they reach about the 230rwkw mark. Good luck on the hunt =]

Thanks man. I want to go ahead to get a turbo efficient to 20lbs or so. I want a 17-20lbs from 4000-4500 to 8k or more. My ka just would run out of steam too early for me because of rpm limitations.

do you have an SR20? either way I am running a trust T518Z on my SR20 it's currently making 226rwkw on about 16/17psi (from memory). pulls very hard and comes on very nicely. great little turbo.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.

      I couldn't agree more. As an owner of a built high HP skyline, I'd be a hypocrite to not buy a Hummer for the reasons you listed though haha.

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Is this the one? https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php?id_product=2192&rewrite=nissan-stagea-c34-rear-boot-actuator-assembly-90550-0v000 Might be worth having a look at yahoo japan as well. Though it seems a bit odd. If the motor works itself, other than being noisy, then wouldn't it be more likely that it's an electrical issue somewhere else? And it being noisy does not seem as surprising if it has been chugging away for months

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By BCs300z · Posted

      I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
