thinking about picking up a gvr4...talk me out of it guys

I've been researching for a long time, and I've been looking for a while. I've searched on cumminsforum and haven't come up with too much, at least no unmodified HX40's. Nothing local to me and nothing on eBay either.As far as the BEP housing, I plan on just getting that direct, or from...

Nobody cares about anything that has seemingly made your foolish. Also, some of the most knowledgeable guys I know drive the slowest cars. The guys I know with the fastest cars are the guys who pay the big bucks for the shop to do all the work. Not saying that is your case, but you need to...

Replied to again, wasn't sure if you saw it or not, because I never notice new PM's on here lol. :thumb:

PM'd you.

Hey guys, in the market for a 1g, preferably a 1gb, but show me what you got.Can be anything from a shell to a running car.Let me know what you got :thumb:

i have the same one, it will NOT bolt up to a stock gsx catback or any catback that fits an oem cat.the bolts on the flange of the downpipe that bolts to the catback is horizontal, instead of at an angle like a stock gsx exhaust would be

Though GC's are recognized as a Honda brand, I hope to run them with Koni Yellows in the future on an Impreza that I may soon own.

My boost and oil pressure gauges have been fine for over a year- I'm considering giving them to my room mate and picking up their fully electronic set.

Most of my problem with ebay parts are fitment issues, but I've worked my way around them. I've had great luck with my OBX intercooler, as well as my o2 housing and downpipe. GlowShift used to be an ebay brand, but they really came up.Looks like I'll be giving these a try if I get some...

I too would like to know about these, and whether or not they can be rebuildable.I'm looking to get rid of my Tokico HP set and getting something stiffer so that I don't rub as much, maybe add a 1/2" drop.

I searched already and I couldn't find any threads on this topic. I'm about to get some Rota Slipstreams in 16x8, but I called Rota and the only thing they have in stock has a +48 offset, instead of the +40 that I wanted originally. I could order a new set and wait a month or two for them to...

red 2gb w/ fmic and aftermarket wheels parked on san fernando near campus, i think i bought greddy hard pipes from you a while ago

new issue, kind of- the idle hunt went away, but i threw p0141. i know why- i have no rear o2 sensor. it had to be cut out because it was seized inside of the stock o2 bung when i was getting the rest of my catback welded up to a full 3" - the wire is kind of dangling there right now.now...

it isn't, i was just saying that my iac (isc?) didn't throw a code so i was certain that there wasn't a code being thrown while the car was idle hunting

My car has an IAC issue and throws code for that every now and then, but the code isn't displayed right now. I cut into the harness and spliced it back together while installing my o2 housing. There were two black wires, a blue one, and a white one. I wired it back together (though not the best...

oh, come to think of it, my car did the same thing when i put on my greddy uicp and bov. since then i've put on an fmic, but it didn't do it after that so who knows.

PTE usually has their sticker around the body.

It might leak pretty bad.Anybody have any idea how bad it'd be to put a little permatex or something similar on with an OEM style gasket?

I'll be using the damn thing as a paperweight.Where can I pick up an OEM multi-layer gasket? How about a copper one?

I heard the SS 1/8" thick SS gaskets were bad news...I picked one up and I don't think I want it anymore after reading the horror stories.

Thanks for your help. I've already purchased an oil return line and feed line kit from STM- Or at least I asked Emery to piece it together for me. I look at the lines and fittings and simply don't know where to begin. I'm in a bit deeper than I was prepared for, and I'm going to need some...

Forgive me for my ignorance, but the route the return line ftakes or the G50 is the same as the stock oil return line, correct?Also, can I use a 2G oil drain plug to plug up the coolant feedline hole? How does one go about plugging up the return hole?Also, I remember hearing somewhere...

Side-to-side, no in-and-out. If there was any in-and-out, this turbo would be in a box with a return shipping label on it.1992awdlaser, I noticed that you have an SBR G50, which is also built by Kinetic. What are your experiences? How long have you had your turbo in good condition? Do you...

I guess that does make sense, but for some reason, the IHI turbos I dealt with (a stock WRX turbo, a VF34 and VF39) all had VERY minimal shaft play. The Kinetic G50 has about 1/8th to maybe 1/6 of an inch of shaft play.Also, the reported cases of these turbos prematurely going makes me a bit...

So after a little over a month's wait for this turbo to get drop shipped from Kinetic (Originally purchased from STM), I finally get the turbo in the mail. My first impressions are that it's huge (compared to my stock T25, and I haven't seen very many large turbos in person before). It looks...

Anybody have any input on what I should do with the turbo? Should I just return it? I'd rather keep it and then possibly have it sent out somewhere to have it checked out...CHRA balanced...etc

Do you guys think I can send it out to get the chra balanced...or whatever that process is? I heard somewhere on here that it doesn't cost too much.

i'm hoping to keep a 60 psi minimum from the oil filter housingthere is a warranty on these turbos, correct?according to kinetic's website, they are full 360 degree bearings in the chra, and are supposidly garrett chra'si'm having second thoughts with this now

Makes me a bit nervous, as I have the same one coming in the mail from STM.

Anybody have any other input? I usually wouldn't bump a thread but I'd like to hear somebody else's opinion before I head out to try to fix this. My car is actually at a friend's house.

Thanks for all the help guys. Upon trying to install the DIS-2 today, I found out my terminals are pretty bad and I need a new ground wire.I had everything hooked up, put the ignition to the "on" position, and then tried to crank it. As soon as I tried to crank it, all power cut off. I was...

I haven't installed it yet- I'm getting to it tomorrow. I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to have it plugged in and ready to go in a short amount of time with the wiring harness provided. The only long process will be wiring up a switch for the 2-step launch control, which I don't really...

I got some good advice from mitsumissile. He wired his 2-step to a switch, which is what I was thinking of doing. Anybody have any input on the other questions?

So I got my Dynatek ARC-2 today from STM. It comes with the wiring harness and setup looks like it'll be a breeze. I had one concern though...In the instruction manual, it describes how to set up the two-step. There is a broken circuit, and upon closing the circuit, the 2-step is...

To OP:I'll be in the same boat as you as soon as I get all my parts in. Hopefully my install goes smooth.Good luck with your build.

Bruce from OOO? I saw him run tonight. I don't know the guy, maybe one of these days I'll introduce myself.

Good stuff, that place is a couple minutes from my house.

I get slight flutter on the softest setting under low boost...well what I assume is the softest- when the nut is on the threads and not even touching the valve body?

IHI hot side flange...I only know this because I used to be a Subaru guy haha

Thanks for all the help guys. Yeah, the BOV was brand new when I put it on. Should I give the spring some time to "break in" before I start to adjust for compressor surge? I still get a little of it if I let off while not building much boost.Also, wouldn't a boost leak cause my idle to...

The BISS screw - thats the one that sticks straight up on top and adjusts idle levels? I'm not too familar with it.Anyway, lets say oil did get on the MAF. How do I go about cleaning it up?Also, my BOV is recirculated. it's on there pretty tight, I'll try redoing it just in case...

So I installed a Greddy UICP, Greddy Type RS BOV and then cleaned my K&N intake with the K&N recharge kit. All went well- cold started it and idle seemed normal, RPM's jumped a bit higher than normal and lingered above 1000+ RPM's more than usual, but I thought nothing of it.I take it for a...

Thanks for the input, but that'd be a bit out of my price range ...?

Slowboy Racing :: DSM :: Turbos :: Bullseye-Power :: TO4B Mitsu Bolt On :: .SPECIAL ON SALE Bullseye-Power TO4B V Trim Mitsu Bolt OnHere is the BEP 50 trim w/ SS hot side and V-TrimM-Trim...V-Trim...what's the difference? Does SS really help that much? I heard it cracks over time.

M-Trim, as far as I know, only the BEP has m-trim? What about the SBR and STM?

I've heard good things about the SBR, but what about the STM?

What I was trying to say that is for my horsepower goal, I'd be much better off running a 50 trim at, say, 18 psi, than a big16g at 22 psi. Intake charge temperatures would be lower and there'd be less stress on the turbos.CHRA - I don't even know what it means. Could somebody explain it to...

I've heard decent things about the SBR 50 trim, and the STM 50 trim looks similar.I'm leaning towards the BEP 50 though, since they have more of a name behind their product.I just want to know that these won't crap out in a year or less, basically. PTE stuff is pretty pricey, and I'm...
