HI all, i've got a question regarding to this Apexi turbo AX53B70.

Anyone had this turbo on their RB25 before? how does it go, at what rpm does boost kick in and when finish, horsepower rating?

As far as i know its' a bolt on item and internal wastegate, how much should this cost NEW and Secondhand?

Any help would be greatly appriciate.

Thanks.

depends which one you are talking about.

there is a AX53B70 P21 (which SLYSX is talking about) rated at 320ps, which is actually the same as a HKS 2530.

then there is 2 different AX53B70 P28 turbos. one at 650ps, 30ps more than a HKS 3540. the other is 690ps, slightly bigger than a Trust T78-29G and a tiny bit less than a HKS To4R.

so ones small and the others are very big.

im assuming your talking about the 320ps one. if so that would be very streetable and respond pretty similar to stock turbo.

guys let me straighten this out for ya there are only 2 and they are low mounts

and

AX53B70 which is rated at 380PS

the rest are all high mounts

check this out it has the rated apexi turbo's and u have to find a converter from PS TO KW

and u are looking at about $3500 - $4000 just the turbo nothing else ( so very expensive) for the low mounts.

And also what are u looking for response or all out power?

    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
    • I do this, I also don't get the joke  
    • Return flow cooler will be killing you I reckon. You can certainly push more through a low mount setup but they're good numbers for a stock looking engine bay.  Mine made 345rwkw (hub) at 22psi on 98 with a "highflow" on a stock manifold but it's a long way from a normal high flow or standard engine. I used one of those Turbosmart IWG-75's and it was great with the Motec running closed loop boost with pressure being applied to both sides of the diaphragm. 
    • Hey man do you have pic of adaptor plate by any chance I need to match up the bolt holes as my gearbox adaptor plate ones are way off the only bolts of starter motor are matching thanks
