masterpower turbos

[rex-leggy]

as title says does anyone use one or have any previous experience?

prefer not to hear opinions from people that have never seen one or just have a one sided brain that only thinks Garrett, Garrett, Garrett

cheers

My brother had a masterpower t3t4 turbo on his dc2 honda integra b18c. When he brought it the previous owner had a cheap rubbish t3t4 hybrid on it which lunched itself..

After getting ther engine rebuilt he got the masterpower turbo.. There was a significant increase in response and power.. On the run in tune it got a healthy 197kw atw on 7psi... IMO i think they are a great turbo and trustworthy.. Just as much as garrett..

Wow that sounds good especially only 7psi!

What did it run with the old turbo?

Also got any pictures of it? I quite like Hondas aswell. =P

7psi in a big turbo is not the same as 7psi in a small turbo

Never got to go in it when it was tuned up... Ended up getting stolen within 3 weeks of the rebuild..

Oh, wow that really sucks. What's up with people stealing things they cant get.. =[

Damn, that's just really low. All that joy gone down the drain because of low lives. I hope your brother hasnt lost his spark in cars. Hope everything goes well for him in the future.

not bad kit, not great either. clones of other turbos, no innovation. only person i know of to use one lost power and response vs a chinese assembled kkk internal turbo

[rex-leggy]

really from the research ive done it sounds like there genuine and the company have been running since the 1960's.

was looking at there t-60 options

[Tony]

Barry Manon has used these turbos to great success on his Toyota (ran a 10 sec quarter mile and won superlap a few years ago). They cant be that bad.

He also supplies them and I see he is now a Clubsub sponsor, so maybe drop him a PM - name on here is MRP LTD.

It hauled ass alright...

Id hate to think how much he spent on it... a good 6g on the setup and rebuild then all the other bits and pieces on top of that.. Tell him not to bother with those cheap 'turbo kits' on trademe and shit...

Hard I did my DC2 Type R bout 5 years ago. Spent s*** loads but made 270wkw and was an absolute handfull at the best of times lol.

Btw on the master power side of things I once saw a supra at NSDW when i was running and he had one, was doing low 11s that night but had a 10sec club sticker on the back windo so must be capable of going faster. (dont think your alowd to do 10s at NSDW as a street car tho as cage rules or somthing similar)

[Guest]

you seen those supras on YT? ~1300hp claiming to be "street cars" but doing 8.63 1/4s lol

Nah lol but id like to see them go thru the mackaz drive thru like a real street car hahah :

They seem to be a good turbo. My friend had a masterpower t3/t04e on a b18c motor which made 220wkws @ 8psi via crome tune. He doesn't own the car anymore but it's still around running the same turbo as far as i know.

Keep away from the Chinese turbos as stated in this thread. The seals tend to go very early on them.

Yes, the Ek4 from Gisborne. Such a quick car if traction can be held. The twin plate in it made it a b!tch to drive though lol.

I had a b16a with a chinese t04e turbo making 180wkws. It went well within the time i had it. Then the oil seal problems arose for the next owner.

[marc]

True thats the car lol little enki 15's or similar lol. Goes very well now with the built B18c block and b18cr head. Also did a Sinco mani and some other stuff. shoud be good for 270+ wkw now with some bigger injectors and a re tune or a plug in G4 with a tune!

Traction is always an issue then i started braking inner CV's! you can get nice half shafts from the US now days tho...werent around when I was having issues lol

[Lampard]

Yeah those Supras are beasts! They lag alot with the turbo haha, but it's funny when it boosts away. Especially one with the green lambo.
