Its on pretty much straight away which is what these particular customers want. If I had an LS1 I'd be using a GT45+ but that's just me.Originally posted by BoganDAVE View Postthat would be a bit small, wouldn't it
I've got one SR manifold sitting on the shelf at the moment. To suit T3 / T4 open flange and 38mm 2 bolt wastegate. I've got about another 10 SR manifolds tacked up just have to find the time to TIG them.Originally posted by da9jeff View PostT53 or T58 seems the way to go. Is there off the shelf manifolds for these + SR?
I've got a customer's SR being tuned tomorrow with a T58 on it. I think it will go around 300rwhp @ 1 bar.

I haven't got any race series in stock at the moment. I've got them on order with Master Power but as you could imagine all of their customers want them. The US is their biggest customer so I'd say they'd have a big order to fill with them first. I'm hoping mine will be ready to send out in the next few weeks.Originally posted by Guido View PostTell me more about these race series turbos. And when will they be using the Ti wheels?
At the moment they've got 5 turbos in their race series. Have a look at http://www.masterpower.com.br/novoSi...dListaAuto.php and search product numbers: 802340; 802350; 802380; 802390 and 805142. They're the race series ones that have the low inertial bearing system at the moment. I've been told they'll have a much bigger range shortly.
As far as back to back testing of the new bearing system, the new system is spooling up twice as quick as their current 360 degree thrust bearing turbo (assuming I'm reading their graphs correctly). I'm hoping they'll also do a back to back test against the ball bearing turbos. A ball bearing turbo with the same specs will spool up approx 15% quicker than a thrust bearing turbo.
The Ti comp wheels will probably be for their bigger HP rated turbos. I'm hoping they'll expand their range and bring in turbos up to say 1600-1800hp. Ideally something similar to a GT47 and GT55. I think this could be a winner if they use the low inertial bearing system etc but still keep the prices so they sell for around $1200-1500 retail compared to Garrett's $4000-4500 for the same size.

as far as i know masterpower turbochargers started off using cut down garret wheels. They have never had too many issues with reliability. Are good value for money. Their comp wheels always seem to be quite big in relation to their ex wheels thoughOriginally posted by BabalouieGeez we're a bunch of softcocks...we have a 911 and we're obsessing over non-functional ducts and indicator colours

My mate just got his sr20det tuned ont he engine dyno 2 days ago with a turbo i suggested, Trust TD06 20g L2, made 500 hp and 400 ft lb at 17 psi. Ill wait till i get it on a chassis dyno but it will go 300 rwkw, and is responsive as fuck.3D scanning

if you can do me a GT55 sized 94mm comp wheel for $1500 ill take one tomorrow for the race car...Originally posted by tobs_85 View PostThe Ti comp wheels will probably be for their bigger HP rated turbos.

Is it possible to get compressor maps for the masterpower turbos - I can't seem to find any (but that could be because I'm lame!)
Are there any master power turbos that are essentially their own version of the t04 range (specifically t04b)? And if they do have their own t-04b look/performalikes, are these compressor housing/backing plate/and comp wheel able to be fitted to 'real' t-04 turbos?
Reason I'm asking all of this crap - rx7 turbos can be upgraded with t04 comp sides. I'm just putting out feelers (I was on the verge of doing this a little while ago, have only recently gotten back into it). I'm wondering if it might be cheaper for me to source a master power comp side to have that grafted onto existing rx7 turbos or if it 'real' second hand comp sides would be cheaper to source I know the rx s4/5 turbos aren't perfect but they do spool pretty much as I require (with enough flow, with a well prepped wastegate/port) and I have more of them than you can point a stick at...
so - short version:
1. do they have t-04b equivalents?
and if so
2. is it possible to buy the compressor housing, backing plate and wheel separately?
and if so
3. how much would it cost?
I'm specifically looking for something that is the equivalent of a '60' trim t04b wheel - and 0.60 a/r compressor housingJohn McKenzie

Where is the tech info on these Master Power jobs? Or are we supposed to buy them because they are cheap.Richard's DatsunZ lappin LakesidZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47OSh...&feature=g-upl
