I've got a kai also yes...... and have had it rebuilt twice now. First time, the oil feed line got pinched and starved the turbo of oil. Second time my turbo sucked in my manual boost controller. It's an easy turbo to work on.

in my turbo it sucked in the gold cone that screws in the fron wheel and chewed up all the fins and bent the shaft, how much you payed for your rebuilt if you dont mind me asking?

The compresor wheel is 180 and you'll have to call davinci about the shaft. I forgot what that runs....

T88Rx7 09-03-04 03:32 PM

I forgot what the cartridge costed the first time. It was a few years ago. I only spent $180 to replace the comp wheel last month.

T88Rx7 09-03-04 03:40 PM

razorback 09-03-04 04:34 PM

T88Rx7 09-03-04 05:25 PM

what kind of horsepower your singing with these turbos?

razorback 09-03-04 05:32 PM

T88Rx7 09-03-04 05:38 PM

who is that

razorback 09-03-04 05:58 PM

soul assassin, he lived in japan at the time and had an hks dogmission (5k retail hard to find) and a bunch of other upgrades. since then he has parted it out and sold parts to various forum members, and others. he was in the army and decided to part it instead of bringing back with him. very impressive.

here is a link to his car and upgrades (it was a 91 t2 btw)
