Nice numbers 18bora, torque/power comes on really early.

 

Keep in mind the KAI is 90 days out and is going to retail for 2800. I think most of the discussion about this turbo, unless you are an HKS parts collector, rules it out of use when there are less expensive, more capable, domestic units available.

 

I'm having the exact same problem (WGA rod that lengthens? stretching? itself) ON A STOCK TURBO.
I have never encountered this problem before, sounds very strange to me.

 

Started another thread about the WG preload issues

Sounds the same. Have you pulled the turbo off yet?

 

Yes, I have pulled off one of the two 7460, and there's nothing wrong, it only miss the preload.
I have also changed the exhaust housing on the OEM turbo (the one on which the WG flapper completely came off). I cannot inspect the flapper because it isn't there anymore, but the housing is OK, only a bit worn because the flapper has rotated for too much time, worn but flat, not warped.

 

Bumping this up.
I've had the offer to purchase a 7460 with the damaged flapper for a good price.
Is it worth purchasing this turbo, replacing the flapper with another and going again? Or even trying to adapt another actuator to suit?

Or am I just throwing money up the wall that I will eventually have to re-spend?

Car see's hard street duties and ~6-8 road race days a year which consist of 5+ 10-15min sessions in a day.

 

I would like to know if any one has machined out the 10.5 hot side to work with The HKS

 

hi all. my friends got one gt2 for sale. on the turbo exhaust outlet there i can see some oil stain. is it normal?

 

No it's not normal.

The HKS I had puked the oil seal and HKS won't fix or replace the turbo.

DO NOT BUY FROM HKS!!!!

 

ditto

 

Hmm.. I was considering getting hks turbo as my next turbo

 

Don't do it. Buy from a manufacturer in the states that will warranty, service, and repair their products when/if they fail.

Buy from CBRD or FP.... my opinion.

 

Nuf said!

 

I have been considering cbrd bbk. I recently purchased an atp gtx3076r but nasa classification change next year means ill have to reduce power. The gtx3076r is too big for the power level I'm looking to run.
