Title: does any body run xs power turbos
Post by: s5frontmount on January 27, 2008, 12:39:44 PM
ive been looking for a t4 turbo for my fc3s turbo, and cant help noticing these cheap usa turbos on ebay.com.
do these perform well, i understand they might not last the distance but at that price they can be replaced at service intervalls.

the search button is your friend :Giggle

Although seriously they don\'t have a good rap. Do a search for xspower here and //www.rx7club.com and not many people have a good word for them.

All depends on your budget really, the turbo is only a very small element of the whole setup.

I went to see a car fitted with one when i was looking. I saw the turbo and already decided to walk, but thought i\'d have a look further. Found a few RR graphs in the folder of receipts - A mighty 10psi boost by...wait for it...4k - with a grand total of 300bhp. Nice...
Title: thanks for help

I think best bang for buck kits are the Garrett GT35/40 Kits.
If you going for generic T4s, if you only looking for 300bp then the Garrett T04E turbo will more then enough with quick spool and cheap, easy good for 340rwhp which will give you 400 fly

I\'d investigate the GT3574 from A-spec too. Not a ball bearing turbo.

Got one coming................................
