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.

  • 1 month later...

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.

    • That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others
    • The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣
    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
    • The GTR strut brace clears the new manifold.. by about 0.5mm. So this means I need to buy an OEM GTT Strut brace (again), which will clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. I guess I can sell the GTR Strut brace with the bonnet with the vents as a package deal as someone will need this one day. So my choices are vented bonnet but no strut brace, or GTR Bonnet with OEM brace (which I have to buy) but is bright red instead of the same colour as the rest of the car, which means the entire front end of the car will just be red until it goes back to paint jail. In other news the engine starts and doesn't leak. Why both O2 narrowband sensors think the tune is rich AF I do not know. The idle is also pretty shitty and my expensive IAT sensor from the USA is dead. The car sounds awful. But I assume or at least hope this is due to the many exhaust leaks, and the concrete garage it is in, sitting there with 0 intake bolted to it, and no bonnet or panels or anything to stop the induction/intake sound which is about 200db.
