isnt this the turbos off ebay or something (made in china)?

Ebay yes, China unsure....why does it matter? I bet if Garrett was made in China (I don't know, is it?) you wouldn't say that. If quality control is equal, there's nothing wrong with something being manufactured in China.

Also I suspect that Kinugawa was manufactured in either Japan or Taiwan

Kando stuff seems fine, though polished isn't really good for anything but rice factor - trying to see the relevence there. I'd consider their products one of my top choices for a build if I didn't already have a decent turbo.

The ATP housings aren't Garrett made etc - they are a solution they have offered and aren't their main crust so its not too surprising that there are very workable niggles. Best option for Garrett turbos at the moment, Kando don't turbo twin scroll turbos and these ATP housings definitely perform very very well on the cars I've encountered with them.

thats good to hear Lith, im hoping i have made the right decsion with this setup

Don't bother trying to use studs, pull them out and use cap screws... Got a turbo with the same housing here and it's no problem.

SO i went and got some cap screws today,

all is good we just had to hand file around that one hole.

here is what we did - post-59990-0-60177100-1310701473_thumb.jpg post-59990-0-36091400-1310701501_thumb.jpg

just woundering i got the same thread cap screws as the studs can i just screw the cap screws into the manifold or should i redrill the manifold and use the nuts on the end of cap screws?post-59990-0-01906900-1310701708_thumb.jpg

And yes, they appear to work very very well and reliably for a fraction of the price.

awesome in fact, my new project will most likely have 2 of the 8cm t67 variants hanging off the side.

Percentage of the price would be more indicative of the comparison :P

Ok smarty pants, considering they are roughly 50% of the cost of the average competitors product, the difference could be expressed as 1/2.

Aka a fraction.

Hi can anyone tell me if they have used or know of anyone using the new GTX3794R turbo on a RB engine? And what results.Thanks

The thread started as 'soon to be released' and has documented all known about the gtx range on RB motors. Perhaps read the thread and search the forum, if someone has results they would have posted them.

i know garrett make the GT3794R but cant find any information on any GTX3794R,

A quick google search shows why, its a 900+hp turbo crammed into a GT35 housing.

40psi efficiency... should be sweet for my std rb............ why arent we all running one :P

would like to see it on a decent engine though.

Well what is your take on boost pressure into a factory motor? It is an ongoing debate between those who think its irrelevant and those who think x psi will blow the motor.

I think this is fairly relevant as these new turbos all seem to be designed around big pressure ratios, gtx included.

    • 1. Factory knock sensors for now, honestly the RB26 OEM knock sensors seem ok as they're flat response instead of resonant type but they appear to be internally grounded to the block. If I do replace the sensor it would just be to get ones that are not internally grounded so a differential input can be used to reject common mode noise. Definitely plan on fixing this as a part of the tuning process. 2. Never deliberately induced knock, though I guess I could try that experiment if I really wanted to. 3. All of this is basically on a stock engine + ECU, only modification is HKS GTIII-SS turbos and a Nismo plenum. Currently I run it with the wastegate solenoid unplugged so it won't try to raise boost past wastegate pressure.
    • After being peer-pressured into paying $100 for the MW remakes, got BO6 on XBox Game Pass. I think that's worth it.
    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.
