I think he means crashing the FC while drifting. That was still a dick thing to say to you though.

HyperRex,

Your car looks sweet....I'm really starting to like these RX-7's....I'm not too familiar with them though....Is that an FC? Thanks again,

-Pierce.

i said that b/c first you asked a question that has been addressed countless times on the forum for young idiots who somehow got their hands on an FD and then want the biggest turbo "kit" available so that they can at least think that they are the resident "badass"....and all of these type people are starting to really annoy me (but maybe you arent one of those people and you are just coming off as one.._)

and second b/c i think using a turbo II as your "drifter" is pretty sad and a waste of a good car that would be taken care of a lot better by someone else.

-Nic....wait, i mean "**** face"

p.s. you wouldnt happen to be friends with a kid named Tim would you??...

all i can say is if its big its alright, if its too big its getting close to the right size, and if its not feasible, its jus about right, so that means that the t51 is getting close, but on the real side its a big turbo, i do believe out of the main japanese manufacutres it is the biggest, it is larger than the t88 and its supposed to be good for 470 whp at 15 psi on a properly tuned rx7, it will spool slow, cause it is so big, but if ur gonna drag race ur car its no worry. if ur gonna run it as a track car, then, id reconsider. but i have heart numerous good things about it, if ya wanna know more, get the compressor map for it

all i'm saying is use the damn search button....

there have been countless other threads with people asking about this turbo and no reason to create another one with such a general question. I could see you having this question, searching, and then posting a specific question about what you dont find or if b/c of the nature of the search feature nothing is brought up by your search terms you post a question then, but this thread is a waste of space and me posting to it is a waste of time.

as it has been said way too many times before - USE THE SEARCH FEATURE

How is the lag on your T51R KAI? At what RPM does it start building boost and at what RPM does it attain full boost? What other mods do you have done (i.e. ported motor, ignition, etc)? I'm seriously considering the T51 and i would love to hear an owners opinion.

DUDE! Look at the numbers of posts he has...27! He hasn't been here long enough to know that there has been a thread about this several times. Most new people don't know about the search function. Lay off of him and just answer the damn question. It takes just as much effort to bitch at someone as it does to tell them something useful. There now I've wasted my time bitching!

Sorry bud. I don't know aything about it.

I have a street ported motor,stock ignition,power fc,1300ccsec inj.,950ccprim inj's.

Boosts starts to build around 2900 and full boost arrives by 5500-5600 RPM.

It spools alot quicker than my old Greddy T88 turbo.

I am no expert at all, but I sugest to get a custom turbo kit made for 2/3 the price or even half. A T-72 BB or a monster T-76 will due the same thing. That is if You want to save the cash for other things.
