Any t51 kai owners?

I am about to pick up a a t51 kai turbo, and manifold only. Im trying to see if anyone who has the kit would be willing to help me out on the pieces I need to get as far as sizes or even part numbers from hks. Any help would be appreciated.

Im pretty sure that hks doesn't sell the downpipe alone they only sell it with the kit so you would have to get one made.You also need to get an hks gt wastegate for that kit either the gt or the gt2 there 60mm wastegate's.As for the lines you could pretty much get them at any race shop it shouldn't be too hard to finish piecing the kit together

I think Chuck at Rotary Extreme is running that turbo. Peter(Rice racing) may be as well.

I doubt you can buy the downpipe by itself even though it does have a HKS part number. HKS does sell the vband flange to meet up with the turbo. Get the flange and you can make a custom downpipe yourself. The HKS downpipe is 3.15" (80 mm).

why try and find one? its cheaper to just have one made custom..

all the rest is just a basic setup as far as IC piping and Oil lines... not much too it.

But that Turbo Rocks!

My roomate is running that on his supra and it is freakin nasty. The only word that really describes that power that turbo puts out is "ignorant." I was thinking of putting it on mine, but I am going with Reactive Racings turbo kit.
