I'm not sure of the specifics of there kit.....

but I run a T3/To4e with a SFP manifold and a custom made downpipe/exhaust system.... and I love it.

I have allready paid for the T3 .63ar/T04E 50 Trim setup that i have ordered. I'm in Australia. I ordered it on the 20th August, and i'm waiting to hear if it has been shipped still. Nathan mentioned he is waiting for a new batch of dump pipes from victory performance to turn up, before he can send my kit, whereas he has all the other parts. His website says to allow for 4 weeks delivery, it didn't mention this though on his site, until a week after i paid for it. I must admit that he has cut me a good deal by throwing in the new bolts/gaskets in his setup, which he has recently upgraded as part of the setup. He is on these boards, so i'm sure he'll tell you what's new in it.

Having said that, i do believe it is a good setup. this setup is on a few cars here in Australia on the Nissan 200sx s14 series SR20DET rwd, and it works good on those cars, the best i've seen being 12.00 on a rwd on street tyres. I've done some full reviews on dsmtalk before about hks cams and FFWD's 650's. I was hoping that this turbonetics setup would arrive before my race on 21st september, and i would be able to give some 1/4 mile times, but i don't think that it will now The site states that a customer was able to get 320hp on 20psi pump gas and 390hp on 28psi race gas with a standard 1g engine with HKS 264 cams, fmic, exhaust and 550's - this is with the 50 trim T4 wheel, .63ar turbine housing.

I've read a few reviews about some manifolds being great that haven't cracked before. I can tell you that unless your manifold is made of the one material, when it heats up the two different materials are going to expand at different rates, causing cracks. i have a custom steam pipe manifold made for my current t3/t4, and it has cracked twice in two years at the part where the collector is, because that plate is made of steel. Straight away i've got, the steam pipe, weld, and steel all expanding at three different rates. Cast manifolds deal with one material. That's not to say that a cast manifold won't crack, but i believe that it's more unlikely to.

Hi!


I was wondering can the T3/T4 turbo be installed on my RS?
I am new so please excuse my ignorance.

the Star Turbo kit comes with T3/T4 turbo. try posting in the Non-Turbo forum, i'm pretty sure a couple threads there talk about it, and most likely even have links to the site where you can find the kit. good luck.

DSM-Sonata, thanks for the info. just lookin at the kit as maybe an upgrade further along down the road.

No problem. i will let you know on here when i receive it, and when i have it installed with the results via a review.

i have also ordered the .63 stage 3 50trim and am waiting on it. I was 5th on a list of 12 orders and I ordered mine in early August so It should be to my house in a couple of weeks.

I am also waiting on a couple parts. I recieved the turbo (50trim), but waiting on I/C piping and O2 eliminator w/ dump tube. Will post results after install. Curious to see what you guys run with same set-up.

I emailed victory performance to see if they have the dumps in stock and they do, so shipping should be happening this week.

I'm curious too. It will be good to compare our times, a 1G, 2G, and Sonata 2G fwd all with the same turbo.
