Branners Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Funnily enough I have no idea who it is. I never asked Leon as with most of what he knows he found it out himself so I tend not to put him in a difficult situation with things like that. Its the same with the Blitz DSBC boost controller controlling boost below the overboost level, Im sure he would tell me but I dont want to know as its his specialist area and if he wants people to know he will tell them. Obviously I trust Leon and have seen his work so I would be happy paying the bit extra, but Im sure many others wouldnt so if you want hybrids Im sure Terry can supply them.

GavinL Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Originally posted by terence I use him too and his work is excelent, cost is around £850 + vat a pair for fully blown hybrids providing yours are not totaly knackered. Terry is that price regardless of the spec ie turbine size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terence Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 is that price regardless of the spec ie turbine size? > that is for a set of supra twin turbos, cant see it being any differnt, did davids and having mine done and the same price. the only time is if the turbos has actually blown apart physicly, nits missing or melted or cracked, things like that. he has given me good prices on everything ive asked for and quilaity on the ones ive seen and used was brilliant ricght down to th finsih. Terry he may wel have different prices for different turbo's, i never have asked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 What's the guys first name & I'll confirm he is the same guy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Terry, What sort of power output can one expect from this turbo upgrade with max boost say 25psi ? If I sent the blown turbos to you how long would the turnaround time be? Also does it make a difference if they are Jap spec turbos? Will I get the same output as the UK spec? Edit: To include the boost level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Randy, really depends on Boost levels etc. Something is not right with this thread. I would like an exact spec for the £850+VAT turbo's please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kindness Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 Randy - i emailed terrence asking the same questions.... no luck as yet.... I'll pass the info on when i get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terence Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 hI I work 12 hour days and spend 3/4 hr getting to and from work and sats to so im not always upto date with my emails. I maintain scapers & cats d6 d9's etc the stuff that moves motorways etc so very tiring, everything is very heavy or very tight so im knackered most days. What sort of power output can one expect from this turbo upgrade > that will depend greatly on the state of tune of your engine or components and the state of spec of the turbos. turbos ar'nt an exact science anyhow, if you had turbo's built for low down grunt and mid range then obviously top end power would be less than say someone with top end performance in mind. I personaly prefere turbos to work as low down as possible without losing to much else where, torque is what gets your car motoring, power is for top end use only. Now if you could match torque and bhp equaly consistantly through the rev range that would be an engine worth having. big bucks, the supra 2.5tt is very close. with max boost say 25psi ? If I sent the blown turbos to you how long would the turnaround time be? > i believe in previous conversations 2 bar was the quoted figure but you wouldnt want to run that, your engine wouldnt last long unless built for it, and if it was you probably wouldnt have stock turbos reworked cos youd have enough money to buy a big single or something. turn around time has been said to be a round a week - 10 days but i would think that would depend on what hes doing at the time. Something is not right with this thread> like what ? I would like an exact spec for the £850+VAT turbo's please.> all the turbos ive given him have been housings remachined and or ported ( dependant on what needs to be acheived ) stainless shafts with stainless expeller blades enlarged impeller blade ( again dependant on needs ) 360 bearings dual oil seals ported waste gates ( again dependant on what the needs are ) dynamicly balanced come to you looking like new. it was a set of jap specs that were done last time and i wouldnt know what they are like compared to uk ones, but daves 2.5tt flows enough air for around 450+ bhp if you can get the rest of the engine to work properly to produce the power. when i have mine done, i explain what i would like them to acheive, the state of tune of the engine ie exhaust system and cam degrees and profiles etc they are going on, and where abouts you would like the performance to be most. What's the guys first name & I'll confirm he is the same guy??> i really dont see the need to explain whos who and doing what, im not in some sort of competition and dont need the money, that's not why i do it, it was purley to help out others and to make people aware there are other avenues other than using expensive outlets, that all. But since you ask it begins with G, now I wonder who that could be ? I discussed maybe having turbo's built for the club and or other freinds etc and he set me up a good price and as yet has'nt let me down, the quality is good and experiencing the goods has led me to go nowhere else. Terry my turbo's are being spec'ed to run with nos and cos the way it works wouldnt run very well on a stock motor, sure you can put nos on a stock motor that has turbos but there wil be a bottle neck somewhere or a sacrifice, my cams are being reprofiled along with nos and turbos and exhaust to gain maximum effect and there's the rest of the engine to go yet. like i said its not an exact science and each car will behave differently according to what your engine spec already is.

Guest Terry S Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Are you sure that's not per turbo? No titanium shafts for quicker spool No Comp wheel sizes. What I find strange is G has been approached about this, knew nothing about it, & laughed at the price. I don't want a flame war. I truly hope you can get them built for this money, & wish you the very best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terence Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hi I to find what you say as strange, I only spoke to him recently to have my own set done, the price ive said is actualy slighlty dearer than i am paying. The wheel sizes you refer to are varible as to the state of tune of the turbo, i beleive the shafts are stainless. David has had his done a little while back on his 2.5tt and they were fantastic and cost £950 quid inc vat and the exact words were, "they flow enough air, as what leons did before he changed his turbo set up" i beleive leon has since sold them on to someone else. Davids turbos were maxed out in every way including bigger induction housings and built to how david wanted to drive the car, ie low lag and plenty of mid range, he's not interested in doing 150mph, His turbos could flow more air but lag would enter the factor, are we talking about the same person ? I am unwilling to to give details away because the original conversation was if i could supply the units he would build them, i didnt want people phoning him up haseling him whn the price given to me was a good one, it may be different for others i dont know. the price is for a pair, Terry ps ,ail me privatley about this please terry, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 mmmm........I assume you are talking about Dave the Pirate with the MK3. I was told it reused the original wheels, had 360 bearings etc but was by no means a radical set of Hybrids? Surely the cost goes up the bigger the wheel gets as the machining must increase.? I think we should end this & discuss when we meet. Best of Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terence Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Hi I beleive its best to lay this one to rest, I know what i got and paid for. my last coments on mr G's turbos are, yes that was the price and the info you have is incorrect, we have the spec and it was verbaly given to us at the premises along with the product and discussed heavily b4 the work was done. and they flowed as much air as leons set b4 he changed his setup completley. larger inlet hosuings were fitted and they were machined too. larger impeller blade larger stainless exhaust blade and machined housings stainless steel shafts 360 bearings ported wastegate dual oil seals for reducing leak by, under vacum on tickover. the above was then tuned to how we wanted the power to work, ie low down and midrange. I also have the pics b4 they were fitted if anyones interested. terry ps the turbo housings were so much bigger that it should really of had the exhaust manifold machined to match the port sizes and the inlets were out as much as could be machined with out going into the inlet screw holes, they were as much as could be done, all that could be left to do was to put a slightly larger impeller blade in but it would have given more lag which is what we didnt want.
