obx turbo thoughts

[1jz240sx]

hey whats going on guys, today i had no classes so me and my boy started on my 1jz swap and turboing his KA.. As we were pulling my my old soch i was starting to think that instead of runing the tt setup on the 1j i should just throw on a singe turbo while the motor is out. i jumped on the internet and i stumbled across a obx t4 60-1 turbo claiming to be good for 550 hp. . now before people say ooooooooo search keep in mind that ive been searching all day since 7 this evening and every time i type in obx turbos or someting with obx, it only shows obx manifolds or lsd which alot of 240 guys use. ive gotten alot of good reviews about the lsd and maniflod, but i cant find anyhing about the turbo.... if you guys can give me info asap i will really appriciate it because im tying to finish my swap within two weeks. thanks

I thought your 240 had a sr20?

Put an obx turbo on your motor if you want it to waste your money. OBX turbos are sh1t and I wouldn't trust them further than I could throw 'em. Save up and by a quality turbo

OBX do they even have a website? They are kind of a knock of company from what I have seen. Id go with a name you know and trust.

i sold my coupe with the sr on saterdAY night and i picked up a 2 tone coupe that im doing the 1jz swap into, if you was to look at my other post, you will see pics of my new coupe..

hey whats going on guys. would you guys like to hear the funniest **** ever. i was talking to this guy who has a 240 and he was saying that he's running a obx turbo pushing 375 with his ka. i set down and was talking to him about his car then he i i noticed that he was the number 1 ricer on the face of the earth. i looked out the window and he i saw some 20 inch chrome rims on a hatch, then i asked him about his about his ka and he said it only has 48k miles on it because he tooki out of a rx7. we went outside and poped his hood and to my suprise it wasnt even a doch, it was a soch with a ebay t25 turbo on it...l0l... dam ricers

i ****ed up and bought a ssautochrome turbo and guess what BLOWN after 100 ft. so....

you should place that in your sig. not so that we can laugh, but so that fools can learn from you.

get the driftmotion.com single ct26 manifold for $330 and find a used ct26 (i see them on craigs all the time for around $100) and youll have plenty of power to throw around. with your plumbing and accessories i bet you could be pushing decent numbers for around $500 +-

yeah you should not cheap out on the turbo - my first setup i had an SS auto chrome turbo and had to rebuild it after about a month - if you can justify getting a new turbo try finding a used Garret turbo - thats what i did good luck with the swap

[1jz240sx]

wow guys, i cant believe people are still ansering to this thread. just to let you guys know i pruchased a holset hx52..good for around 550 on A disiel so around 800 on a gas. thanks guys

if you really wanted a cheap turbo, you could just use a HOLSET. good, reliable, HOLSET. ebay the name HOLSET.

I was wondering about the OBX turbos before. I gave them a call, and not one person could give me any specs or info on the turbos. They told me that I'd have to check the website, which of course shows no specs.

VALID POINT!

if anything leave the stock twins (unless you have a JDM spec 2J) then look for usdm stockers ($200) and boost them my buddy made 513whp on stock twins. or you can do TWIN super 60's in the stock supra locations.

OBX != SSAC

better to find local turbo shops that make custom turbos from garrett parts

warranted and built by hand with years of experience.

and you support local business.
