Supra ST Myster Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I have bought this manifold and downpipe from in this link http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=80273 manifold is a T4 so now looking for a turbo, and have seen this one, does it sound ok http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250023150173&fromMakeTrack=true will the 3" downpipe fit it? I have the K&N 4" filter and pipe work for it and also bought the downpipe as shown in the first link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I personally wouldn't run one. I know some on here do but one just went on us after a few weeks on a 200sx. 3" downpipe will fit but it's a very small turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People over here do use them though so the choice is yours. Its not a bad specced turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 dont suppose you could recommend one?

GeordieSteve Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Depends what your after. If you want a 61 then you can't go far wrong than Terry. Paul Evans has some great deals on precision turbos tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Evans has some great deals on precision turbos tho I agree, Paul has some excellent prices on PT Turbos at the moment. I think you can get a 67dbb for around £750 iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 If going for the ebay turbo id say the T70 was a better option. or paul is doing some good deals;) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=65472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 had a look for the t70 ones but i couldnt see any with the t4 flange? they all seemed t3, needs to be 4" inlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I was under the impression that the XS turbos were actually made for Diesel trucks. Save yourself loads of future heartache mate and get a Precision turbo from Terry or Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdavies Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hiya, *shameless Hijack, but still kinda on topic* Just curious I have seen some previous mention of XS Power kit being - for want of other words "dubious", but I have had the devils time finding specific substantiated evidence to this end (I have been trying to search the supraforums but be damned if it isn't a complete hag at the moment to get any response out of). Is there evidence that these turbos are a no no? Do they cause catastrophic failures? Is this anecdotal evidence? I am only a little concerned as I have managed to acquire a full single trubo kit from XS power (very cheap second hand never installed still boxed). Of course we all hear horror stories about various things, but if there is real evidence that these kits are bunk - I will simply re-sell and re-think. Cheers, Simon.

Supra ST Myster Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 am i right in saying that the DBB turbos are for manual cars and the standard one can be used for the auto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra ST Myster Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 see i thought that there was a big thread on the supra forum site where someone had tested the xs power products from ssautochrome and said that they were pretty good for the money?

LeeT Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 oh right, whats the difference then apart from the obvious, what does it mean? Dbb = dual ball bearing supposedly giving you faster spool but not really an issue on the smaller turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit is great value for money with small modifications but the turbos are a bit suspect. Saying that though, there is loads of people over here using the T60-1 and the T70 and are very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was, But as its now policed by the Traders it was removed... The XS power stuff is generally a good building Block, though i would personally go for a nicer DBB turbo linke the gt35r.
