Hks T51r Kai
I was originaly buying a r85 turbo but that fell through. Now im looking at a HKS T51R KAI and i was wondering if they are as amazing as they are claimed to be. Im aiming at getting around 600rwhp.

What exactly are they claimed to be? With your specific aim in mind, I haven't heard anything to suggest that there is anything amazing about it compared to several other readily available, more cost effective options. Your going to need to line up an amazing tuner, by the way.

they are claimed to be "the legendary turbo" for the FD, the best of the best. or so thats what ive heard hence why im asking what to expect from it. Why do you say i need an amazing tuner? are they harder to get a good tune compare to other setups?

At that power level, you should be working with a very experienced tuner. IF I was choosing a tuner, I'd pick a guy who has done one of these more than once on a rotary at these power levels.

I still laugh my *** off when homeskillet with the video cam JUMPS out of his skin when it backfires.
I heard Van Haggar the other day, singin' 'bout "One foot on the brake, and one on the gas... HEY! Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass.... NO!" and my mind instantly pictured your burnout video. Someone needs to set your vid to that song. What was that one video someone made on here awhile back that kept flashing back to your burnout? Post that **** up if you remember what it was!

Yeah, last year somebody made an rx-7 video and posted it on here, and they inserted your burnout a couple of times within the vid. It could have been a compilation of somebody's runs at the strip and after showing a few runs it would cut to your burnout for a few seconds and then it was back to the strip, and then it would cut back to the burnout. It was something like that, I recall.
