Supra Kong Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 The turbos were based on a J spec Scott, I told CR to do the most they could to them, I advised the customer not to go this route and the turbos were very problematic Problematic how?

CanisLupus Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 A turbo specialist here in Germany offers a set of hybrids for around 1450pounds. The Turbine and compressor wheels are both between a GT2860RS and a GT3071R. So the Turbos themselves should be good for over 700hp. The housings(in and ex side) are completely machined along side with the manifold and have a Ball bearing. Sadly no one has really tried them yet(or doesn't care to post his experience). For the price they are I'm thinking about giving it a try. If i do i will certainly give a feedback here p.s. As far as i know the turbos are pushing up to 2.2bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i know the turbos are pushing up to 2.2bar I would be interested to fit these to a car and see what they can do, ask him if he is interested in sending a set over for me to try, he must have a test set, I will send em back afetr we try, and run em on the dyno. Thats if he is confident in the design, I can even run them on the engine dyno so there is no argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly i don't know if there is a test set I've only read all the facts he gave to a member of the German MKIV Forum. As far as i understand he did two sets or so which both are sold but no one ever gave feedback about how they perform. I can give you his contact details via PM if you are interested? I'm 80% sure i will try them but it will take some time until i can get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Good question... ^^ I've not contacted him personally but will do when i go for them I do not know any companies that warranty parts that will be used like we do, pushing them. Take the ferrari we look after he bought a trick gearbox I think it was £20K, broke it on the first meeting, no warranty, its a race part, strangely its because he was too gentle with it, how can you warrant stuff you have no control over the way its fitted and used, any non stock engines built at Austec are not warrantied or even entertained as any warranty unless they are run in on our engine dyno. Even then how can you offer a warranty, same Ferrari we rebuilt the engine, ran it in on the dyno and it blew up at its first test, customer ranting and raving etc etc..............................until we downloaded the logs from the ecu ........................................and found that when redlineing 3rd its best not to change into 2nd !!!!

I agree 100%. I'm not awaiting any warranty if I'm honest, if he gives one it's a free bonus for me And even if you buy turbos like a GTX35 etc and you get a warranty still they try to f... you up saying you installed wrong or it was the oil etc etc. So i don't give much about warranties for, as dude said, race parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Kong Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 so were is all this leading to good or bad I think the outcome is big power is possible, but on a trial and error basis! Reliability may be ok if the hybrids arent pushed to the limit! Should still see good power gains over BPU and at £1400.00 that cant be a bad thing! Am i right?

I will reserve judgement till I see a set of hybrids 1) do what they say on the box and 2) last more than 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
