Turbonetics? Crap or good? And will it hold up?
I was planning on boosting my B18C1 @8psi on stock internals, will this hold up with no internal work? If not, what internals should I replace? Also what are the thoughts on Turbonetics, good or bad?

dont forget precisionte.com everyone is moving to precision or innovative. hp car is running precision t74. 8.59's!!! From what i understand, all of the good people from turbonetics left and moved to innovative turbo.
turbonetics built our race cars turbo wrong. they built it with an o-trim on a t72. when we finally got the turbo on and got stuck at 575hp we realized it was not the right trim for 700+hp which is what we asked for. they told us oh well and it will be 400.00 to upgrade to q trim. They admitted it was built wrong but we didnt call in the alloted time.Do they not realize that you order the parts for a race car months ahead of time before you will actually use them?? Anyway, we fixed and made it q trim and picked up 100hp at the same boost level. Our race car now sports a turbonetics sticker on it with the word "sucks" underneath it. Wait until they see that the 2nd NHRA race this year!! I hope we can pull off low 9's!!!

The o-trim is so tiny, I'm surprised you didn't notice something was wrong. Glad to hear the Q is working for you. Was your whp on gas or alky?

we made 667 on alky. we never noticed the wheel since it was our first ever t series turbo that we had. the q isnt much bigger but the pitch of the wheel is much different.

Turbonetics has worked great for us. I don't know about them sizing your turbo for you, really depends who you talk to there. We do our own sizing and they assemble them, works out good.

You'll pay a little more, but Innovative turbos are really nice. I'm using an ITS
60-1 and am very happy with it.

12.40 @ 126? what kind of NITTOs were you on, on 19 psi!!!!!!!!!that sucks, 2.5 60 ft, must of been a non-driver, ?> why would you even put a car on the track with 19 pounds and use street tires or Drag Radials?? I ran 12.58 @108 mph in a 93 hatch with a 99 gsr turbo in, DRAGG gen 3 kit, the motor is completely stock except for injectors, and that was on about 8-9 psi. I was just wondering because your numbers looked funny, but as always im sure there is sn explanation.............lol

Re: Turbonetics? Crap or good? And will it hold up? (DLOTYPER)
there is an explanation. It was just an exhibition run for fun . I was at the track with some friends that were running their cars and they talked me into making a pass on the drag radials. I had just put in a brand new type r tranny and was not going to attempt to break anything. Right now I'm getting my cage put in,quaife,axles,and long tube header w/ t series turbo.i'm shooting for high 9's and driving home. heres a video so you can see how pathetic my launch is.
