Do i go for the 500 sport the gt525 i dont know , I have got man tt with scorpio pipes decated the cars has boost controller and i want to put on large fmi, but dont no with what tubs with good perormance and reliability and price any got the know? please help cheers! :headvswal

Theres alot to consider when fitting bigger tubs. Firstly you will need bigger injectors to provide more fuel for the increase in air. ecu upgrade and stronger internals if pushing over 400bhp. and of course better cooling.

Oh yeah and if ya gunna replace tubs then the engine has to come out so you may as well get as much as possible done whilst you have the opportunity.

Its not as simple as just putting in better tubs im afraid :(

 

 

Do a search on here, theres loads of handy information you should read on this subject.

Personally i'd go with the gt525 mate, both really are considered as a stage 1 upgrade turbo wise, (T25)

You won't need bigger injectors as they are only a slight upgrade over stock, however should you in the future wish to upgrade the injectors, you have the sligthly larger turbo's in place. They are also a 4 bolt design as per stock, so straight forward swap over. Think Danny does the 525's for about £1450 as a kit, best ask :) As for coolers, personally i'd go with decent side mounts, however some peeps buy them also for image, if that's yer thing.

anyone else got any views on the best allrounder with out to much change

The gt525 is the largest 4 bolt fixing tub you can fit.bolts straight up and is good for 360-380 at the back wheels with supporting mods.Im running a pair and have fitted a pair to Joelys car and hes really impressed also.My dad runs 500s on his and these spool a bit lower down the rev range and are also a good turbo.

what about the jwt sport 600? I thought they are good for 600bhp and are straight fitment also? or am i getting confused?

The figures quoted for american built tubs are rather tongue in cheek.youd need cams,manifolds etc to get those figures.Is the jwt600 a four bolt fixing?

yeah its a four bolt fixing!!!

Yup, your confused :D 5 bolt down pipes required to fit.

The JWT Sport 600 turbos feature new Garrett catridge inside modified stock housings, rated at 600bhp. Bolt-on and uses stock downpipes. Core (your stock turbos) required, a refundable core charge of $500 applies if you want to send in your core turbos afterwards instead of up-front. Core turbine housings must have no cracks (esp. wastegate port).

 

 

 

Please specify M/T (.64 A/R) or A/T (.54 A/R).

 

 

 

 

JWT Sport 600 turbo kit $2290

Core: Send us your core firstSend us the cores later +$500 (refunded on receipt of core)

Apoligies, am looking at the GT600R turbo's which are a 5 bolt turbo.

Dam :p

I was getting all mixed up for a minute there :(

Judging by the housing thickness around the exhaust exducer id say the impellers are no bigger than a 525.

Strange that the 600's are 4 bolt. I have 530bb's on mine and they are 5 bolt.

Hey mate Ive got the 600s and mine are 5 bolt

Hey mate Ive got the 600s and mine are 5 bolt

Are your's from Z1 mate ?

smithy

Ah! yes I needs my eyes tested

the JWT600's are quite an old turbo now

Was it the 600's or 700's that they call disco potatoe ?

JWT700, also known as the GT28RS or Z1 675 kit ;)

ah gt28rs makes sense. thats what i no them as off the 200sx.

 

why is there different names for the same turbo?:wack:

Was it the 600's or 700's that they call disco potatoe ?

 

That will be the one on the right - the GT28RS or in my case Z1's version the GT675RS

 

 

Hopefully mine will be going in this summer sometime:hyper::hyper::nana2::nana2:

When I first heard it yonks ago I thought it was a joke.... But it is mentioned on websites selling them (I did a google one day)

 

So soes anybody know where the name came from and why?
