was only running 14psi, guess ATP is just dodgy, how do you really know what they replace. A friend in the know recons they didn't replace the thrust bearing and thats why the compressor wheel pulled itself out!

Yes, I though the exact same thing when I saw that what a joke and now they say there gear is from the USA when it was originally from Japan.

Ive just got a reply via email declaring that their turbo's ate 100% made in America, and that they can hold 25psi no problems.

Here is there reply for anyone wanting to know what information they send about the turbo to save you some time:

they show some MASTER POWER turbo's i have 1 on my car now. They are made in Brazil the quality of casting and finish is good. had a turbo guy here inspect it first.

my rb26 made 472bhp at 18psi it is laggy but it comes on real hard.so far so good ive had no probs. i bought mine here in Perth . mine has .70 comp and .84 rear.

Did anyone end up getting one of these? I have been asking around and spoke to a very well know, well respected tuner. He tells me that these turbo’s use old school technology making them quite laggy and so on. Anyway, I have been advised against getting one but I was just interested to see if anyone actually bought one of these turbos?

The turbos are legit but very poor in quality, only get 3 months warranty. They are basicaly cheap copies

states 12months warranty on there web site.

800$ for a direct bolt on 550HP turbo.. you get what you pay for.

i might give one a try, and let people know how it goes.

It will be no where near as good as a real deal garret unit. or a gt-rs.

If it lasts a few weeks I cant see you getting what you paid for mate :cheers:

I was told to spend twice as much and get a real turbo, new GT25/35...

12months warranty.

if it blows after 1week, get it replaced. untill some one who has used them cares to elaborate how well they work, no one can turn aroudn and say 'they only last a week'. with a 1 year warranty i will be confterble. and if it produces that power for 12months then yes its worth it.

GT25/35 :aroused:

i would take a GT25/35 over one of these ANY day,

but im still going to give it a try, if its not right for me, i will sell it. and get a GENUINE garret.

Yeah well this tuner did buy two and said they wher sh!t :cheers: Which sux because I really would have liked a cheap solution. Anyway, you are right if it makes okay power and aint too laggy and lasts at least a year then its okay value.

mate of mine got one for this 200sx ended up going through three of em

fisrt one died on the third dyno run

second one was DOA

third one died after 2 days

the minifold he got frm em is shit as was the wastegate

I bought one all i have to say is he is selling ebay turbos. i did some research he has been operating for about a year under 3 different trading names ang gives false info like the fact they are internally gated which is a load of crap. when i recieved the turbo the plastic bag it was in was starting to crack and go hard indicating that they have been sitting for a long period of time. He also does not know what he is talking about. so DO NOT BUY ONE UNDER ANY CIRUMSTANCES.

    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Gotta admit, I love the 20b Cosmo.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
