ok im planning to get a turbo, and right now im gonna get the rrm kit. But, ive done some searchs on the net and I found a couple of other turbo's for the lancer out there.

- Garret T25 Turbo, says it will up up the hp 250 out of box at 6-7 psi. and costs $2819

- Garret T25BB Turbo, says it will up the hp 280 out of box at 6-7 psi, and costs $3119

compared to the rrm turbo, it cought my eye. just wanted to see if any one knew bout it. thx

oh here is the link to the page if anyone wants to see it http://www.importperformanceparts.ne...itsubishi.html

 

Good luck on that... a T-25 will not add that kindof power at 6-9psi.

 

im not necicarily getting one i just wanted some of your insight since u guys know more than me, thats all.

Just wanted to know some facts

 

Those HP claims are downright outrageous. These kits have been discussed ad nauseum, and if you take the time to look at one of the older threads you'll see a lot of the comments that have been made. As far as I know they still remain to be tested and proven.

 

arent those numbers the max horsepower the turbo can put out?

 

yes... and considering both of them are rated at 28-32psi you're never going to see those numbers. On the T-25 at 6 psi you'll see about 160-170whp on the 5speed. At 9 psi you should be about 190-200whp.

This is why most others use the T28 families.

 

Boe,

Could you post a "How to" on water cooling the turbo? Also, why not the BB type instead of journal? Speaking from a reliability issue, shouldn't the BB be better? Not neccesarily (sp) performace-wise....(I know there is very little in this category) I'm kinda concerned cause of the heat out here in Vegas...

just wondering...how come the rrm a/t turbo, has 30 less whp than the m/t? there working on a stage 2 right? does anyone know how much whp that will add?

 

A/Ts generate more heat that manuals do.

 

Hey guys im from AZ whats Up DEX you havent been on the AZLC Forum anyways i wanted to let you guys know to stay away from TSI Turbo kit i would say the best outhere for its buck is RRM's kit. Im getting rid of mine if anyone is interested you might be able to customize it but ive blown one motor with this kit and its only a T 25

 

Do you know what caused it? Too much boost? Too lean??

 

Probably ran lean. Generally speaking it's the only way you're gonna blow a motor aside from improper install.

 

not sure what happened never ran it ruff never even really raced just decided to blow on me i have a feeling it might be bad install but ive heard that this kit has gotten a few complaints before so im not sure it anyone has the Turbo Specialties kit let me know i wanna be sure about the kit before i put it back on my car!!
