hey guys im rebuilding my fd atm and am planning on changing the kinghtsport twins for a single turbo.its curently running abt 330bhp. just need help on turbo choice. i intend street porting too/ really want to get this build but new yr.
Depends totally on what you want from your car, low to mid range power or top end power etc. I\'m running a t78, it\'s a large turbo, very slow spooling but a very powerful turbo top end which is what Im after. The gt35r kit I\'d say is one of the best kits for all range of power and it\'s the kit I\'d chose if I had to do another Rex, lovely kit. But think about what type of car your building, when I mess around racing my mates around town with lots of bends I get absolutely spanked cos never get a chance to hit real boost, but when on longer roads it\'s a weapon!! Think about it and research, a lot of great choices, but my fav is gt35r with ceramic ball bearing for a faster spool :) good luck bro.
garret gt35r arent ceramic mate.
as stated depends on what your after
decide on what you want from the car first and then go from there. plenty of advice on here.
cheers guys.i wanna run abt 400 comfortably really im after mid range i have stripped the car and weight loss is a key its gonna be a toy not a daily would like to be able to drift it the odd track day a bit but still want perform on the street.
GT35R is a popular choice. How much have you got to spend on a turbo as the ball bearing turbos get expensive
If there is nothing wrong with your knight sports twin turbos can I please get first refusal of them if your selling them please, I take it they are still running sequentially?

GT35R has one ceramic ball bearing amongst the rest of the "Normal" ball bearings Ed.
sorry for late replies iv been in abu dhabi with the f1 testing this week. yes the knightsports are fine just the engine need rebuilding and i want more power with out failure from the twins and want to loose the rats nest and all the other crap you dont need. as regards to budget i have the rebuild to factor and a remap at the end of it so i dont really wanna be spending huge amounts of money.will do the rebuild myself.

Plenty of good single turbo kits for sale at the moment, take your pick buddy, there is mine, a hks ta45, a garret gt35r, a hks t51 and some varying to4\'s.
My suggestion is, there is lots of advise we can give as to our feelings to a good kit for you, if you have the opportunity though, go out in a few single turbo\'d 7\'s with varying kits and see which one you like best. most members would be more than happy to take you up the road, that is the only real way to see what would suit you!
P.s 400hp at the flywheel or rear wheels?
good advise i will try find some ppl near by im frm norfolk but live in oxford monday to friday have tried to find meets near both and have had no luck lol
A few of the turbo kits for sale are still on the cars, so if any of them took your fancy i am sure the owners would oblige in a spin out :)
new kits for sale here
