Yeah, he can get them and still give you a good price on them. Like I mentioned earlier. Im getting my VE CP pistons with upgraded tool steel wrist pins and Manley Turbo Tuff I-beam rods for 1180 shipped. He said the pistons would take about 3-4 weeks to get.

He's a great seller and will take care of his customers. Put it this way the 3 others that I emailed about that combo were 1350-1650 just to give you an idea.

That was the original plan but never pulled the trigger. Did some more research and found this great turbo.

It was between this and a journal or ball bearing 6766 or 6768. I didnt want to spend 1800 bucks on a bb turbo and the 6768 journal bearing turbo would have cost me about 1300-1400 so still more than this one.

The borg warner turbos are tough turbos and this one has proved very very good. While the compressor housing may be quite a bit larger than the 6768 so is the exducer on the wheel and so is the 83mm turbine wheel.

Dont know if you used a T3 divided but this large T4 divided seems to do pretty well even with an open manifold. But working the divider on the flange itself should greatly improve flow through it.


what you're doing is awesome and i give you 2 thumbs up for it, but can you do me 1 little favor please...stop comparing our cars to what honda's do, they are 2 completely DIFFERENT animals...just because "Joe" can spool a 't96' on his 92 eg civic hatch fulley built b18 gsr dont mean an sr can...thanks bud
