Not to say that this guy has an ounce of integrity but most of the things you posted there are parts he sold, not parts that he bought.

 

Correct. The pipe is spray painted silver. The construction IMO is pretty good. I bought one from him. You'll need to wrap it up anyway.

This is the exact one I bought. "nvjend" That's me

A customer gave me one today... "here, look, I got this off ebay, what do you reckon?" ABSOLUTE ****! There was swarf in the compressor housing where the bolt holes come through, one of the bolt holes wasn't deep enough, so the bolt bottoms out before clamping the housing to the backplate properly. Both turbine wheels look like they've been "machined" with a hand file. Oh, and it's so small it should be called a toybo! Would make a good air heater for the winter months.

 

If understand that it's small, but it still can make 400hp at 1 bar (according to Rx7_Nut13B)? I think that is a substantial amonut of power to have at around 14psi. Since I don't need more than 400hp, would that make this kit a better idea?

 

The kit is probably not much more efficient than the twins at 1 bar. maybe a little bit, but IMO you dont really want to run a turbo that has to run right around its max efficiency all the time. You can and people do, but I would rather have a slightly bigger and more efficient turbo so that it wasnt blowing HOT air at the desired boost level. oh and I doubt it will make 400 RW?hp at 1 bar. sure it will make 400 brake hp, but my stock twins do more than that right now. If it is comprable size to a to4e then it will probably make 360-370 rwhp at 1 bar.

 

WOW the turbo that was originally posted in question as the basis for this thread sold for $2,125!!!!!!!!!!

 

Even if the turbo is only capable of 375 whp @ 1 bar, that is still more than the twins are good for right? Also, I would be eliminating all of the old, cracked and leaking vacuums hoses and solenoids that make troubleshooting boost issues on an FD so tedious. The easy install is definately a plus as well.

 

i really would like to know if its good for 375 at 1 bar. i guess since i have it, im gonna have to find out one of these days

 

I'm pretty sure that turbo is capable of 400+ whp. The to4b can do that, why not a to4e? The reason I'm so sure of this is because I've seen dyno sheets with these turbos. Search for it (I don't have time right now but they're there!)
It's basically going to come down opinions at this point. If you're not looking for 400+ hp out of you're car, then sticking with the twins may be your best option. I personally would go the single route with a mild street tune if I were you. But that's just me!
Also, when you do get the ***** to crank up the boost, you'll be able to make some adjustments to your current setup to do just that, without the cost of ripping out the old and putting another setup in there.

 

I Haven’t seen the compressor map for this turbo but by description and size I find 400@ 14psi a far cry from realistic. Not that I can say I can use my setup as a base line but I only bade 358-60rwhp @ 1 bar on the XS engineering (the real company) T04S. The turbo only spit out 465@22psi b4 it ran out of steam. That on an ITO ported motor, haltech, racegas, Steve Kan tuning, full ignition and a front mount. If it made 400 @ 1bar Id go buy it tonight.

It’s just not bigenough to make that kind of # with that low boost, it just doesn’t flow the CFM.


@ the dyno session 40oz just cracked 400@the wheels @ 18psi on the gt35/40
both of these turbos are twice the turbo that POS would ever be

and for the price you could build your own for cheaper.

 

thats why im prob either gonna go with a af61 or t04r =)

 

400rwhp no!
That turbo spec is a v trim xspower to4b, NOT a super trim 60-1 or to4e as is mostly advertised through ebay,
Although with good header system over 300rwhp can be acheived with 1 bar of boost.
The turbine housing is a bit big though, it will work but would be better suited for larger t series compressor, the v trim to4b on rotory would be better matched with .84ar, you will achieve much better boost responce.

you can probably buy the same kit minus dump pipe through ss autochrome for cheaper.

 

Its not a to4e! a to4e uses larger compressor wheel major than to4b's do and they use larger compressor housing.
this is xs power copy of garretts v trim to4b.

 

just like bacon said. it takes high amounts of boost to break that 400 barrier. & in orderto get good power the boose has to be above 20psi+. IMO you get what you paid for!
