Kinugawa Japanese Turbo Wheel And Housing

[fastfwd]

Yeah honestly the parts looked very well made and Almost look like direct copies of Garrett with slight changes which they said are more beneficial to performance.

Mtq were also impressed.

7 days delivery from Japan was good aswell.

out of curiosity, how much were you quoted for install?

seriosuly? f**k. I am looking at 500 just for port and upgraded actuator, which I thought was a good deal!

I dont know if they are just helping me out with that pricing because they do owe me quite a few favors.

Quality looks very good.

I'm surprise how thick the turbine compressor blades are compared to the non-billet style blades. I've not seen any billet compressor wheels in the flesh so I don't know if this is typical.

I thought the same thing when I saw the picks but think its just that the picture makes it look that way, but when you look at the tip/edge of the blade its quite wide.

If its not an illusion then it would weight a bit.

My billet 3582 compressor is thinner than a GT 3582 wheel. I thinks it like 1mm vs 0.8mm.

It felt really light in my hand. I havent felt the standard so I couldn't really compare. In their website they have exact weight of the standard and the weight of the 11 blade and it's 13 percent lighter.

It's currently in the car running. Sounds bloody nice.

Car isnt fully tuned. Competing 3inch to 4 inch intake upgrade especially when I have . 70 ar housing and a dual 3.5 cat upgrade. Then running the full tune...

Simon from extreme ford recommended those upgrades before completing the proper tune.

The spool sounds so much deeper than previous. Probably the . 70 ar housing.

Hey mate

I'm looking at just the 11 blade billet wheel from kinugawa as well

Any feedback on how the turbo is going?

Ok fellas, Im about to ask a few Q's and have a f*cking rant also so bare with me!

I'm looking at getting the Kinugawa billet wheel also for the standard gt3540 as the original turbo less exhaust housing I got cheap because it had sucked something through it and fins are ever so slightly damaged but shaft play and bearing are as good as it gets.

Who did you guys use to get the balancing done and do most turbo places carry this balancing machine?

Reason I ask is today I took this turbo out to two places (the only two in town) in Townsville MTQ and some other hicksville joint that who gives a f*ck about... anyway... MTQ said it will need a new impellor which they will not do or would not touch with a 50ft pole as they cannot provide warranty if I supply the parts? They never have heard of Kinugawa or if they did they didn't say sh*t about it!

I told them that the warranty thing I don't give a rats about as long as its balanced then its in my hands and what happens happens (We play we pay right!).

So I then went to the hicksville joint where old mate said that "no one does that" and that there is "only two machines in Aus that can balance turbos and at $100k blah blah blah..."

WTF is the go here fellas as I want to burn this f*cking city to the ground as it's so useless with everything!

I'll mail this f*cking turbo if I have to get it balanced as it was cheap for one and the impellor is also pretty cheap!

Can we buy impellors off of garret or are they also cnts?

Cheers all,

Brett
