Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 OK had a quick look, the manifold is only 304 stainless................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Your'e right - It was an over generalisation - ideally if not caste one can be too concerned once you get past a certain thickness os S/S and design. They can just go... Also - at that price these are nearly 'disposable' anyway? I 'think' these are the ones - although cant be 100% GARRETT INTERNALS WET FLOATING BEARINGS SHAFT & WHEEL TRIM 64.5mm COMPRESSOR WHEEL 60.5mm TURBINE HOUSING A/R .84 COMPRESSOR HOUSING A/R RATIO .70 OIL COOLED V-BAND FLANGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 OK it is not a Garrett GT45 then? 60mm comp wheel?? What wastegate is used? LOL, you wouldn't say manifolds were disposable if you had to change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 TBH Steve I have never seen either so difficult to say. Email [email protected] & ask him the problem with the XS FMIC. Dusty is a really straight guy and will explain his dislike, it may just be a supply problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 BOLLOCKS! MVP don't rate them at all £800 well wasted by the looks of things. Anyone wanna buy a single turbo conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Steve get it all here then shout me and we'll look at it. Cant cancel??? Paul, 321 SS is much more like it, worried about their choice/changing of WG though. Need to find wall thicknesses. Also WG design/routing is very important.

GeordieSteve Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I bought it with "buy now" so not much I can do about it. More than welcome to have a prod about tho and see how crap it actually is.... then it'll be back on ebay. Sure some chav would love to fit an FMIC to their nova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 sorry I didnt see it before mate:( If you ever want to know about stuff like that, feel free to email me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 XS Engineering FMIC for 1993-98 Supra ITEM # XS FMIC MK4 We absolutely do not recommend this FMIC. We have had 2 delivered to customers that had fitment problems and XS did nothing to support them or us. Their welding looks like it was done in the back of Jim Bob's barn. Also, it comes with ugly black wrinkle coating instead of beautiful polished pipes like all the other kits Doesn't seem to look like this description anymore m8 according to these pics - also this has been on their site for years http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7934588396&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT People can nmove on - also they are all made in Taiwan anyway! Worry not - suggest you give them a call and request they send you out a smaller turbo with the package!! My m8 had to fit a spacer as the compressor housing on the big turbo was too large and rubbed against the manifold Wait till it gets here and then see - you might be pleasantly suprised You need piping etc - I have the details of the stuff manufactured to fit his - so they (hopefully_ have it stored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Bang on idea asking for the smaller turbo mate. Never thought of that. Any idea what would be a good size to go for. Like I say I was going to go for the powerhouse set up as it sounded exactly what I want... plenty of power and not much lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ring them and talk to them m8:thumbs: Let them do the suggesting and come back with their response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 well if it has a 61mm comp wheel as Paul says???, you dont want a bigger turbo. As I said, the PHR without cams or EMS is too big. Originally posted by Paul E I 'think' these are the ones - although cant be 100% GARRETT INTERNALS WET FLOATING BEARINGS SHAFT & WHEEL TRIM 64.5mm COMPRESSOR WHEEL 60.5mm TURBINE HOUSING A/R .84 COMPRESSOR HOUSING A/R RATIO .70 OIL COOLED V-BAND FLANGE The Turbine housing looks too big, but without knowing the style of wheel they are using it is impossible to say. The exhaust wheel style and size really helps decide the lag. It needs to be matched well to the Comp wheel & housing. This is where buying from people who dont actually understand turbo's becomes very dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 There's no number for him but I've emailed him so I'll keep you informed. If it turns out to be half decent kit then I'll deffo be interested in the pipework Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 This just gets better. Just ask him for the Comp wheel inducer size in mm, and what make/style the exhaust wheel is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 FYI guys I have been told there are WG design issues with these. Beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone we know over here Terry that had probs? No way will it compete at the quality end of the market (BL etc) I'm sure - but for £300 approx for the manifold worth a punt?

Guest Terry S Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I doubt anyone here is using it yet Paul, it came from a friend who has tested pretty much every kit out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
