Well, I guess I forgot to tell you guys that high boost is working pretty well now. Maybe the engine needed to just cool down a little or what not. I'm still gonna get the twin power, but it's nice that I can turn the boost up every once in a while.

Hey pw what did he tune you at low and high boost ? I think you mentioned 16 psi on high boost. I can't wait for methenol injection so i can go for 20 psi, now thats fast lol...

1.08kg/cm^2 is about 15.3 psi, that turbo isn't even breaking a sweat at that level

Man honestly i dont know when im gonna stop lol. I think 20psi should be pretty fast but 15 will have to do for know. Im kinda shitty i got pulled buy an eclipse but it was a casual 4rth gear roll on from about 45mph,i was on low boost setting bout 12 psi so who knows on high what the outcome may have been.. Boost is way addicting one boost and you want more and more lol...

Well, after driving around on low boost for the last 6 months cuz wide gtr ripped me off on an hks twin power, I finally ordered another hks tp. Also I was getting some really bad blowby because the turbo needed a restricter. I went to Banzai Racing two days ago to have them do a little work. They installed their 3 bar map sensor and harness, installed the hks twin power, and replaced the oil feed line on the turbo along with putting a restricter in the line. Now the car is running flawlessly, I am having a ton of fun driving on high boost.

My next mods are going to be water/meth injection, suspension (all the bars, springs, etc.), and 99spec body with scoot hood. This should all get done this summer, with a rebuild/large streetport next winter.

My brother is getting his mkIV supra single turboed by sound performance right now but will be on stock fuel so it will be limited to 550rwhp, so if I lose to him the water/meth will be getting put on verrry soon.

What do you mean by 'high boost?' I haven't had any oil blowby issues, weird that you need a different oil feed line and a restrictor.

I'm boosting at about 17psi. Yeah, I'm not sure why I had so much blowby, but now after he put the restricter in it instantly and totally went away. Chris couldn't get the oil feed line to get a good seal, it would always leak a tiny bit. But now everything is perfect and the car feels so much faster at 17 than it did at 13-14

Interesting to see what hp it is making at 17. Nice set-up. G

I installed a special crush washer between the blue anodized fitting and the front iron on the oil feed line.....it's a copper crush washer with an inner rubber portion. No leaks after that

Did you have a leak before that, and did that piece come with the kit.

We always install a crush washer under the metric-an fitting on the front plate. Peter's was leaking at the turbo, the smallest (yet most annoying amount). The brass fitting that came with the turbo was the unresticted version, yet there was no way to install it with the feed line. New OFL and a resticted 35R fitting, no more clouds of smoke on decel and no more leak at the turbo.

Weird, I've never had a problem with oil smoke. Where the OFL screws onto the CHRA I can see a restrictor down in the CHRA fitting. Maybe my supplied OFL was different than watkins'?

Thumbs up

The front mount and I/C pipe could have been done all together for 350-400 bucks, y would they charge you two seperate prices. One for mounting the intercooler, and then another price for I/C pipe don't make sense. I was reading the pricing on everything that was being charged seperate it was a little unclear. Everything else seems about right the tunning price is about right. But when you say or mention the fuel system what is all included for that price? Im not trying to start a post war or anything, but that's what these threads are here for. To inform readers, and to make comments and opinions.

Calm down goodfella let's not trash his thread buddy

So this was you just talking out your *** then. He paid to much for such a little amount of HP? It went from stock twins to single turbo

I have seen your homemade FC FMIC's, you obviously have never installed a Blitz FMIC in a single turbo FD application. Besides the prices posted at the begining of this thread were estimates.

Go clutter up a different thread with your usless posts.

I agree. Teddyrx2, there aren't too many reputable rotary shops left in the country, why you want to trash one of the few left is beyond me.

I suggest you focus your attention on some of the numerous shady and incompetent places out there......seems like every FD I work on has been butchered by a different chop shop here on the east coast, there are many to choose from.
