question about turbos, Turbonetics??? Options

[Guest_Matthew_*]

I was thinking about getting one of these turbochargers once i do the swap. Has anyone had any experience with them?

[west_minist]

I haven't seen on the forum for long.

How are things?

From what I was told and from what I cam seeing on the drag world, there are very good and efficient.

I am think to even get on with the Skyline GT or celica that I am getting later next year.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

yea the reason that i ask is because of the 7 second celica that uses it.

[Milds3vn]

What engine is in the 7 second Celica?

[Guest_Matthew_*]

i think not sure but think it's a solaro methanol powered engine. RWD also.

[west_minist]

It is a V8 engine. Not a celica.

yeah that one has a beefed up twin turbo tundra engine I believe

i would go with a garrett, or an HKS turbo kit or a GReddy. it's really just preference, when it comes down to it. you really can't go wrong with a big name brand. I would really recommend getting an upgrade kit tho, instead of just buying a turbo, and i know that turbonetics doesn't do kits.

that's not even a celica. it's a tube frame drag car with a shell built to look like the celica. the only think celica ish about it is the headlight lenses. you lift up the body, there is no more resemblance to a celica.

Can you look into subscribing to Turbo Magazine, Sports Compact Car, Modified Mag and Super Street Magazines?

They would help you alot.

If you feel that Turbonics is what you want and you have a good shop to do the work, then they should easily be able to design a turbo system to make whatever kind of power you want (if you've got the right internals).

i get turbo mag already. i really don't like the other mags because they mainly do info on honda, acura, and mitsubishi.

I just subscribed to Sports Compact Car today, i hope it's worth the money.

[west_minist]

I have subscribed to all of them.

Sometimes all are disgusting. but that is only on certain topics. But all are very good.

I love Import Tuner. The power pages and 'dear 2nr' pages are just great. And, I saw a 6th gen in it one time! True, it was riced out, but it was a 6th gen.
