has anyone ever run one of these on a ca18det? it is an rb26dett turbo. someone has one for sale, but i'm not very knowledgable on turbos yet and i was wondering if it would be a good candidate for boosting my ca as i need a turbo asap.

backside seems a bit small. The HP support seems good though.http://www.atpturbo.com/Mercha...e=GRT

got one on mine. it spools up (~20lbs) by about 3500rpm and is generally just fun as hell. its not very big, so dont expect more than about 300hp, but its a great stock-ish turbo. mine allows me to put a hurting on some fast cars.

I would expect it to hit a lot harder than an S13 SR turbo and a little bit more than an s14. Looking at that compressor map, and I am still newbish at this, it looks like it starts getting sketchy above 250hp so I would suspect it starts running out of steam around the same time as an S14 unit. R34, you have a dyno sheet on that screw?
