Trent - I'm pretty sure that mine are from a different place as they don't sell the T67 :banana: mind pm'ing me their details :banana:

Also, you mentioned the inferior performance above, was that relating to the Kando ones? Do the ones you get have the same characteristics of slightly inferior performance? I have a Genuine L2 and one of my copy ones here, and will be doing back to back in the next few weeks as you now have me curious. Pulled apart side by side I can't spot the difference even up close.

Zebra - Pm'd

Yeah the average ones are all the internal gated Td06sL2-20g turbos, some have evo footprint some have T28, the t28 was average, but the evo setup was pretty good. The t28 footprint L2 was 20-30rwkw off the target set by a genuine one.

The like for like turbos from kando and the "other" place like the T518Z (int gate) T67 (ex gate) and L2 (ex gate) which have the same mounting foot print are so close in power results it aint funny.

We just fininshed a t67 t3 foot print ex gate on a 6boost manifold and it mirrored a full trust T67 kit.. both good mates and customers who have plenty of r&d time on the dyno. Needless to say even i was super impressed by the results.

i reckon the ex gate turbos are a winner regardless, the int gate turbos are average with only the T518z being close to the original.

c= no stepped compressor ie 12 or 14 blade comp wheel and flat back wheel

g= stepped comp wheel (normal type 1 high 1 low etc etc) and superback (curved back side for higher strength)

L2 has a larger thust bearing i believe

h is larger turbine

yes?

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
