I found these while poking around on Pure's website. I was always under the impression that GT ball bearing turbos could not be rebuilt and that's why they've always had the chra exchange program? Is that no longer the case?? If so, could this kit be used to convert a Garrett journal bearing...
While we all know that the pairing of 1/4 and 2/3 is the correct way it should be done, has it ever been determined which primary pairings should be on the inner or outer side of the turbine? While most manifolds that I've seen put 1/4 on the passenger side, making it flow to the inner side of...
Has anyone ever heard of these? I actually just signed up for the DG group buy and then a little birdie brought these to my attention. The first thing I notice is the pillowball mounts with independent standoffs from the spring hat, which the DG koni setup has but I just don't know if the...
I'm wondering if a +20 offset on a 18x10" rim will be too aggressive for the wheel bearings on a daily driver under hard cornering. Please refrain from the, "why would you....." this or that comments. I'm aware the wheels won't tuck stock fenders...I'm aware 17's are more suited for handling...
Looking to run this combo for a daily driven setup as the are cheap, fairly light for the price and size, and look good, I think. I just wanted to get some opinions, and possibly see if anyone is running this combo? I know there's a guy running the 18x9.75's with an even MORE aggressive offset...
Just wondering if anyone has used them or knows anyone that does? They've been around for quite some time and I've actually heard of quite a few big vendors that outsource their cnc port work to them. Their price seems reasonable. FYI, eventhough the website only shows EVO 8/9, they DO also do...
I'm trying to decide which to go with and was wondering if anyone has had experience with either yet? I know its a HUGE gap between the two (61.4mm vs 67mm) but I'm worried that if I go with the s300, it might not be much of an upgrade from where I am. I currently have an h1c/6blade super hx40...
I'm installing a twin 255hp's in my 99 gsx and I had a question regarding the return setup. I've made a custom bracket on the passenger side hanger where the factory pump goes for the new pumps but had to eliminate the return in the process. My question is would I run into any issues using the...
I know the FEW directions state you can't use the 90 tb for a 2 g but I was just wondering why not? Is it just because of the tps and if so, could I just hard wire the 90 tps to the 2g plug? TIA!
I was wondering if anyone had experience with these? They come with pillowball mounts/camber plates, 45mm pistons, and are fully customizable. By filling out the order form the will apparently tailor the spring rates and valving based on the specs of the car and type of racing. For $1200 they...
I just picked up a 99 gsx for a steal with a blown motor. The car is an auto which I just don't personally care for. I currently have a 91 awd talon that will be the donor for the 6 bolt. I was wondering if since I'm already swapping to a 6 bolt, could I just swap the entire cars driveline...
Just wondering what the limits are with a blowthru setup? Build is in the works and looking for 600-650whp and I'm just wondering if I should stick with the blowthru that was used on the setup I'm running before or convert to Speed Density. This is going to be on E85 with 1600cc injectors, twin...
Just curious if people still use JESTR these days? I know he use to be big in the DSM world and even when I had my Evo was somewhat popular but I haven't heard a whole lot of him as of late?
Just curious what people have experienced when running the same setup. From what I've seen E85 is the better route but I'm just curious about peoples experience using both with meth injection? What allowed for more boost/timing with less knock?
Does anyone know what the price on the hubs are and why do they only make them for the 2g? Would there be any way to adapt them to a 1g? Looks like a pretty beneficial upgrade with 150lbs worth of unsprung weight.
Is it truely necessary to resize the rods when using ARP's? I know the added torque put to the ARP's will cause the rod bore to SLIGHTLY change shape over the stock bolts and tq specs but I really can't see it distorting to a "football shape" as some have said. Also, has anyone installed ARP's...
Has anyone installed ARP rod bolts without installing the bearings at the same time? I'm freshening up a stock 6 bolt and the rod and main bearings are still in perfect shape along with the ring's so I wanted to leave well enough alone but since I'll be pushing the block I was going to install...
I'm just curious what the max boost level is that people have safely seen? I'm replacing it and throwing in ARP's but the motor is staying in the car so the block won't be resurfaced. For the record, the gasket isn't blown, it's just a high mileage engine with some seapage and I'm just doing the...
For 1/8 or 3/16 Speedglass for the windshield, is it an ABSOLUTE MUST for it to have reinforment bracing in the middle for it not to collapse or push in? I'm just wondering of the factory form of the windshield is enough to withstand the force of say 140-150mph. Beyond that I would say it's a...
I was wondering if anyone has seen the new High Lift TX276 and TX284's? Kelfords are already about as agressive as it gets and these things just look MONSTEROUS!!! I'd love to see the 276 on something with a 3794HTA revving out to 9k. 4g63's seem to love lift so I'm very curious....1-TX276HL...
Anyone know what the limits are using the DSM bolt on housings? It's suppose to be .68 so I'm just curious if anyone has really pushed these to the limit and if so, what the results were? Most t3 35r users are running .82 housings so I'm just wondering if it's even possible to tap the full...
I know the higher compression of the 2g's will allow more tq and thus better spool and powerband but as for overall strength, if both are mounted on 1g big rods, will the 1g's hold more overall power than the 2g's?
Any experience with this turbo? Will be budget build with 6 bolt rods, 2g pistons, ARP rod bolts, head studs, portmatched head with crower valvesprings, stock retainers, and deltacam "kelford 272" profiles. Stock tranny for now with ACT 2600. Looking for 550awhp. Also, I'm using the FP T31...
Has anyone installed these on a 1G? Can they be installed with the factory door panels and still have the brackets for the factory door handles and manual windows, glass, trim, etc.?

Anyone with any experience with this particular turbo? I have a goal in mind of 650awhp but I'm wondering if I might be better off unloading it as it's brand new and going with a 6262 or 6265?
Just wanted say hello. I should have a blog going soon with the build of my 91 awd talon. End goal is 650awhp. Previous car was my Evo IX RS which was totaled by a drunk driver. Car had a Red and made 511awhp.
