IF any one rembered. I am the guy with HKS T04R turbo kit, and the Bullet nut fell off. After all this. I went to HKS USA and talk to their SALES mananger. He agree to give a good deal on HKS T04Z( so after all, it is not too bad to buy every thing from HKS dealer). So hear I am with HKS Newest Turbo. sitting in my room. and still did not decide should I put this turbo on my FD or not. IF I decide to put it on. then I need to weld a V-band on down pipe. and some new oil line and water line.
it is so hard to decide. Even thought HKS USA give me a pretty good price. but it is still more $$ the GARRET GT turbo.. however I am sure this will be the best turbo you can put on FD for the HP target I am plan to get(400WHP)

In the mean time, Should I Coat my HKS SS exauest manifold? and do any thing to my FD when my turbo is off from the 7?

 

All those in favor, type (I)

I

 

More pics

 

Cool.. what are the exact measurements of the wheels inside?

if i remember the to4z is a to4r with ball bearings

 

it is very nice turbo,i wish i can get one for my fd(to4r on my car now)

 

That's a funky looking turbo! Hopefully you won't run into another problem keeping your nuts attached!

 

killer looking turbo... F'ing work of Art!

 

What other turbo's are you thinking of putting on?

I'd coat the manifold.

 

GT40R ( every where is back order)

T66 BB( dont think it will be better than T04Z. but cheaper)

 

hmm, I think somebody has WAY too much money

 

nope more than that

just search

here ill make it easy http://www.to4z.com/pdfs/TO4Z.pdf

Wheels are same, comp housing outlet bigger on Z
and V-band outlet on turbo hsg
+ water cooled, oh yeah and dual BB


My HKS T04R bullet nut backed off also I had it rebuilt at forced perf.
I would coat the mani diyman25 slap that sucka on there and give us some feedback

 

Nice turbo!You should put it on.

 

Took the Ext.Manifold today. plan to sent HPC to get Coat. . also took some pic of manifold. Man the Quality of this manifold is very Good.

 

some more pic. Hope I can finish in early DEC

 

It says that you have a choice of 3 different types.

.61 a/r, .81 a/r, 1.00 a/r What one do you have? And what is the size of the compressor wheel?

Nice looking turbo!

 

NEW info

Just call XS http://www.xs-engineering.com/index....nav=subnav.jsp . and talk about fab v band on down pipe... ( due to the T04Z)do you know what this person told me. " oh do to a down pipe, it will run about 800 US dollors" I said what ? I told him but I aready have down pipe already. then this guy told me" oh then we are not interesting in this type of service" I ask this guy few time and he said it he is very sure. we are not doing this type of service.....

DAM how come every where I call. the person who answer the phone is always dumb ***.... Can any one told me..... why...???

Not doing this type of service.... this is classic.

 

They want to MAKE $$$ and some guys are just GREEDY, you should visit the local Truck shop to see if they can help you. Or, just go to the best muffler shop in town (they should have a TIG welder).

 

That guy is an *******!I've seen some of their work like welding and it looked like **** i couldn't believe they did that kind of work.Your better of going to some local shop,$800 for a dp is way too much.Where in so cal are you?I know of a shop that does really good work, let me know if your interested i could give you some info.

Here are the AGarrett spec TO4Zs currently available, This is a response to my enquiry at a dealer in AU who has them in stock; Here is the information you were after Garret TO4Z 66mm inducer comp wheel p-trim turbine wheel dual ball bearing watercooled .70 a/r to4r comp cover with 4" inlet most common turbine housings are split pulse

.70/.84/1.00/1.15/1.32/1.52

single pulse

.81 very rare , .96 rare , 1.14

So, get that thing on there so we can buy ours. BTW. they are half the price(regular price of the HKS TO4Z. Carl

 

purty

 

$800 down pipe!??

Look in the phone book for custom car builders, restoration shops, places like that. Ask them who does their exhust work, chances are they know a really good exhust guy/welder.

 

I know a lot of shop can build me a custom pipe. The main reason I want to go there is . If I install this T04Z turbo in HKS PRO dealer. if any thing happend( like my T04R"knock on wood") aleast I can went back to HKS USA and really have nice talk about their stuff.

see if I install other place or do it by myself. I am afraid they will saying some BS to me if any thing happend...


what's wrong with these people. did the NEW EVO or STI owner are a bunch rich kid and have too much money , so XS can just rape people off. or it is a bumb *** guy who answer the phone dont have clue what is he talking about .
I like XS , they done a good service on my RX7. even thought little bit $$. but it got the work done. but I am pretty disapoint about them after the problem of my R. they simply are not willing to help...... or do any things positve

 

mm.. I wonder what is different between turbonetics BB T series. they are about the same price right. but some vendor told me , the Turbonetics BB is not true BALL bearing.... so it will not response as good....


dam holiday season. I really hope I can finish befor 2005... dont know how long to HPC will take to cot my manifold...

 

If you can take some measurement of the vband you have on the T04Z, I can have one built for you for half the price. Full 304 Stainless steel and polished, just like the downpie that comes with our T04R kit.
