I'm looking to go with a T04S in the near future and I want to piece together exactly what I want (unless there is a kit out there thats cheaper and pretty much what I will need). Basically looking for manifold(right now looking at the HKS log), turbo (T04S, .96 turbine side or close), and wastegate which I believe I'm going with the HKS 40mm standard one. Now I know that rx7store.net has good prices, but if theres somewhere better let me know. Thanks.

 

Also, how does this turbo look compared to the T04S?

FYI, Take it for what you will, this was my experience and it may not be yours. But the HKS standard wastegate was to small for me. I have the HKs manifold, t04s, and a 3in exhaust, and for the life of me I could not hold boost. I finally upgraded to the Racing version (50mm) and boost is rock solid. I know it's a bit more but, it will be even more if you have to buy it later.

As for the turbo, it flows a bit more than the t04s, that I purchased from cheapturbo, but will probably be just a slight bit more laggy. Even though its a "GT" turbo, it is not ball bearing, and the exhaust is still P trim. So.......I think it's a nice balance between the T04s and the T04r. I'd buy it if I was doing it right now.

The rx7store is a good option for the hks parts, I don't think they are out there for much cheaper than what they offer.

 

Dude Cheap turbo is here in PHX.

GO with other guys here.

www.turbosdirect.com

They rebuilt my S5 turbo for $50 cheaper and 2 days quicker than Cheap turbo quoted me.

The guys are really cool too.

They should be able to get a quote for you.

Let them know the Rx7 club sent you.

i want this turbo

 

I've heard (and please don't quote me on that) that the TIAL 40MM will work fine with the T04S on a 13B. Meaning no boost creep, can anybody confirm this?

 

Ya I think I might even go for the GT one which is 60mm since its cheaper than the 50mm one.

 

With the GT you'll need a custom manifold or the manifold that is used with the 51kai/spl. The gt is attached with a v-band. Don't get me wrong though you might not have a prob. with the standard, but the valve is 40mm, and the exit is 32mm (stupid). That's where most of my problem was I bet. Spend the extra now and be happy in the future, especially if you keep upgradeing ie. Nitrous. I hope I didn't steer the topic, I just like to warn.

 

No that helps alot. I'll get something larger since I'll be using it on the street alot and need to control boost. Thanks.
