ill say it again after HAVING EXPERIENCE with this turbo on my car....
The car will not be streetable The car wont be fun to drive in traffic I suggest this turbo to only drag racers.... as for the installation, its pretty easy and straight forward but you will need a J-spec lower intake manifild (or completely shave yours)...HKS used V-bands all around the turbo kit, a definately trick set-up! you wont need a longer downpipe the 3 inch v-band is quite suffice actually the T51 will let you keep the airpump on due to the fact the turbo sits behind and below it run some anti-lag on you haltech or add a wet 50 shot to your set-up and it'll be all good ;) pics can be seen here http://communities.msn.com/poweraxel Originally posted by 3rdGen7 Guys, Can you guys please give me some advice on installing an HKS T51R Kai single turbo on a FD.

The car is still streetable but it's not fast off the line unless you slip the clutch and get the RPM up there. For the boost pattern.
2k rpm: 0 3k rpm: 5 psi 4k rpm: 9 psi 5k rpm: 13 psi above 5k: full boost in no time. I have run 27 psi with the T51R kai turbo. When it's above 5k rpm, it will go to pretty much to any boost you want in less than a sec. My engine is mild street ported so it might spool up the turbo faster than a regular stock port motor. If you want one, go to my website and go to the T51r kai turbo link to see some specs. The price is $4500. List price is $6540 so you save about $2000. Chuck Huang |
Is that price just for the turbo or the whole kit?? Just wondering b/c he said for and fd and thats a supra site..

My car is a JSPEC. It's a 1992 Japanese R1 right Hand drive and I am from Trinidad. I just confirmed to buy the turbo. :-) I'll post as questions develop. Thanks all. 3rdGen7 |
$4500 for the whole kit for the FD. It comes with everything.

I also use it for circuit racing (track days) and again if you actually use your gearbox there is no problem at all. I hate all this undrivable on the street crap I hear all the time on the RX7 forums (not just this one). These cars arn`t terrible off boost and think of the gas mileage you`ll be getting :) Lag is an over rated problem!!! |
OOPS just noticed how old this thread is!!!!
