Does anyone make a basic turbo kit like the old HKS T04E?

Know anyone selling these or similar kits?

I am looking for something other than a BNR.

You're going to spend thousands of dollars to get a kit made for our car, the only answer is making a custom Turbo kit suited for your specific needs or just give in and get a bnr.

If you're rich you can buy the r85 kit its only 3 thousand dollars lol.

There's nothing basic about converting to T4 footplant. You'll need to upgrade fuel and EMS for starters.
In the US, you won't find any kits for FCs. In Japan, yes.

Easiest to get some power increase is compressor upgrade, a mild one because the stock ECU is too limited.
And a comp upgrade lets you keep stock wastegate because you're just changing the cold side. Very simple...but very limted as well.

If you do find a used kit, the turbo is used up meaning you'll need to have it rebuilt.
A new turbo isn't THAT much more...just shop around. My GT35R was a good price after doing some shopping compared to RX7store.
Good thing about going full standalone is you'll be using brand new harness and you'll be glad to throw the 25yr harness as far as you can.

If you decide to jump into a T4, most install have to be custom from intercooler to downpipe and it adds up , price wise, big time. I must have spent at least 5k to finish and most of that cost being the GT35r, HKS 50mm wastegate and Haltech.
It can be done for much less but I don't want to tear it up again to re-do so everything was s/s braid fuel lines and new parts.

I ran my Hks sport turbo kit off an rtek on a 6 port and it moved like lightning very simple upgrade still used the tmic

This is why everyone just uses a bnr , much more cost effective.

Thanks for the input.y car has a FD PFC and some basic fuel upgrades. I'm still using the stock intercooler and I don't plan to change that.

I was looking for a kit to make 250whp and take some track abuse. I will be keeping the front of the solely for radiator and oil cooler space.

HKS was a great option but impossible to find now.

Does turboblown offer anything small like the t04E kits?

Anyone wanna part with a BNR stage 1 or 2?

The stock Turbo can do 250whp with a good tune , with an upgraded intercooler, ecu, fuel system, and full exhaust etc.

I believe the Greddy 20G kit was intended to be used as a simple bolton system.

Call turbocharged.com
I dealt with James at Turbos_r_us a long time ago. James is helpful. Whenever I had a question, he was very helpful.
Parts he sells are genuine Garrett..not cheap knock offs.
Hell, when I orderd a comp housing, he had it polished for free.

If you know the comp wheel you want, you can order through him.
You need to get the wheel balanced though. So what you can do is send him the turbine and have it balanced with the new wheel.
Turn around time is usually 1 day.
All you do is rebuild your old turbo (new bearings, seal etc).

We can do whatever you want as long as its T4.

Here is a PTE5862( very similar to a To4E).

That totally depends on what your goals are.

True, you won't get a 10 second car with a bnr, at least I doubt it.

This. Mine put down 242 on a dyno dynamics with stock turbo, fuel mods, FMIC, exhaust and haltech sprint re. once I do a BNR upgrade Im hoping to see upwards of 280 ish. on low boost...

wthdidusay82

iTrader: (15)

How much boost?

GREEN Rx8

currently tuned on 13lbs but since its stock turbo the boost drops off around 6k rpm to about 8psi. once I do the BNR up grade Im going to tune it for 14lbs throughout the rev range. I think 280 ish is a conservative goal

VANHALEN

Not with the stock turbine you're not. Your boost will still fall off. The small hot side is going to choke .
Only way you're going to get stable boost throughout is a larger turbine, electronic boost controller and external wastegate.

VANHALEN

280 on low boost ?....Not on a BNR. You're going to be pushing at least 1 bar to get those numbers and your EGT will be very high.
Only way to get those numbers with low boost is a larger cold side and larger hot side.
Remember you cannot lower boost. Your base boost is your base boost.

GREEN Rx8

well this is just quick guess work with the numbers. I still have a LOT to learn about tubo cars in general. and I dont see why I cant put down 280 easily with a BNR. a local here put down 315 with less supporting mods than my setup on a BNR. Im pretty sure it was a stage 3. not sure tho.

13 psi is high for a stock Turbo, I'm going to do 10 psi on mine.

Bnrs are all about your setup and tune, the website says someone has gotten 320whp on stage one, I'm sure that's with a very nice setup.

VANHALEN

iTrader: (3)

13psi is nothing. I've ran that for years back then. Key is controlling it with a good boost controller and larger IC.

Like I said before in your previous thread. You cannot LOWER your boost. Your 3" turbo back exhaust will raise your boost to at least 1 bar whether you like it or not.

Every car is different and no one can say what turbo is perfect for your car.
Hell, I went through 5 turbine housings on my T4 because I didn't like what it did.
Main thing is getting it tuned and staying in safe zone and NOT going just for high numbers which a LOT of tuners do.

GREEN Rx8

I agree hence why I am shooting for a conservative number considering what I COULD make if I went all out on the tune.
