reported from another guy that bought the same kit from Spool Up ..made 320hp at the wheels on 18psi .... which is about 235rwkw's .... i'm lookin to buy the kit as well .. just dont have enough cash

Matt

I'm interested too, for the money he's asking it seems like a good thing-especially if you have a modded engine. I think I'd make more, i have bigger cams and gears, good fuel system and cooler, but maybe the cash should buy me a programmable computer. What point (power wise) do you guys think I should change from the Nissan computer to aftermarket? BTW I lifted my carpets on passenger footwell to clean them and found 3 APEXi "fuel computers"-that's all they say in english-rest is Japanese. Weird!

On HPI V2. there is a 32 gts-t stroked to 2.4ltr's and ofcourse with a large range of mods including a t04e and it runs a 10.02 qtr time on street tyres.

From this example you can see that this turbo has alot of potential, I wonder what it would be like on an engine that is near stock?

I was considering this option for my rb20 too, although im not sure how safe it is buying a second hand turbo kit.

I was even considering the HKS GT-RS turbo, although I have no idea at the moment.

All I know is I want something relatively responsive and something that will give you a rush like the one experienced the first time ever driving a skyline.

take it easy

A t04e is pretty big so it wouldnt be very responsive

My mate has a TO4r on his 2L, its in a lighter car also, so prob more lag from that, its full boost by about 4000-4500rpm, starts making boost atm by about 2500rpm. So really it shouldnt be too bad, just the set up of everything has to be good.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
