I think it's a great option for 1J VVTi guys since the parts are limited and non-VVTi manifolds don't fit.

Is there any info the power/ Dyno plot without* the cams? Used with EMS. The kit looks good but we don't know what the turbo does without the cams to match the set.

Thanks for the call this morning, sorry I couldn't provide any dyno plots without cams.

So this has been out a while, what's the reviews like on it, any CL members running it, I have a Spare C15B that I was going to get the 20g update on but this is going for 1200 now so considering it instead of the 20G and selling both of my C15's to pay for it....

Hmmm - Where are the real world users - Is that 450+ Wheel or Crank? I really want 450ish at the wheels and then a 75 or 100 shot for track duty...

There are tons of these out there now, not any from CL that I'm aware of but could be wrong. The dyno graphs from Tomei are typically crank as they do their pulls on engine dynoes. I will say they are rated quite low, their SR20 Turbine Kit was rated at 450ish as well and I put down 430rwhp with less timing, same boost and less displacement. Hitting 450rwhp with full supporting mods and proper tuning I don't think will be that difficult.

Robert

So found some pic's, does this setup come with the injectors in it, but they are too small?

is this a journal bearing or ball bearing turbo?

really would like to see some results from Dyno work and if anyone played with the cam tuning to get it to spool any better too.

cheers
Marko

i am getting a 1jz vvti put in within the next few months, this would be a nice 2013 christmas upgrade

These turbos are journal bearing, hence the price point. They wanted to make a quality affordable turbo that produced great power. I've sold a few combos with the cams and turbo but nobody has given me any feedback thus far.
