Hi all,
I am contemplating buying these for my VVT-i Supra:
http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=5258
Basically, they are stock jap-spec turbos that have had the compressor housings machined out to fit larger V2 size steel wheels, however retain the stock ceramic exhaust turbines and housings.
Bit of a dilemma really;
With this set-up, I am HOPING that by retaining the stock exhaust wheels, the turbos will still retain a reasonably quick spool time whilst flowing larger amounts of air due to the larger steel compressor wheels.
However, the idea behind hybridisation is usually to fit larger STEEL wheels to handle higher boost pressures.
So presumably these are still limited to 1.2 bar, and will prob be prone to fracture at higher boost pressures than this, the same as a stock set-up.
Has anyone had any experience with a similar set-up over there in the UK?
Or any opinons on what I might expect from these?
Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated! :D
