i called a few places and almost everyone is outta s15 turbos because of the disasters in Japan.
im considering this ISIS RS3871 Turbo since its the next cheapest and looks reliable according to the "200k miles trip of that guy w the ka-t s14"
anybody got any reviews on this turbo????
i have a stock s13 blacktop with basic mods, fmic, 3"exhaust, 3" elbow, my t25 is blown so i need something fast....
ANY OPINIONS????
the garret one looks awesome but its way to expensive for me right now =(

vas570sx

i run this turbo on my ka-t setup. made 300hp on 10psi with 550 injectors. the 1st one i had smoked a little bit after being run hard after about 5 months, but i called enjuku and they sent me a new one overnighted for free.

i would definitely recommend buying one.

so they warranty is legit on these turbos???
thanks for your input
any noticeable lag on the turbo?
enjuku seems to be doing it right with their customer service

yeah, they are great when it comes to customer service. I made a call when mine started smoking and had a replacement in like 2-3 days. On my KA, i hit full (10psi) boost at about 3200rpms, so for you it may be a couple hundred rpms more.

and they usually come with an adjustable wastegate too

Awesome, one more thing....how would I connect the wastegate actuator to my IC piping??? I looks connected to the turbo itself?are the turbo lines the same?

jamg

get it from enjuku, because their customer service tops all.

c-los13

Yeah enjuku for sure, any sr owners reviews??

codyace

Yup, I'll vouch for Tyler, he'll make good on the same warranty as well

if you have a line on your IC piping, just block it. leave the line from the turbo to the wastegate.

This is really good info, what makes me wanna get this turbo the most is the warranty. I'm still not sure who to get it from. I've heard good things from ken but idk the other guy. Also I think I saw an external wastegate on that guys turbo? I thought it had an internal wesgate?????

coupekidz13

He probaly just welded shut the "flap" and took off the actuator and put a real wastegate on instead. Thats what i did to mine. I have a s14 sr20 and i absolutely love this turbo. Full boost (22psi) at 3450rpms and it does not lag one bit. Oh and get it from enjuku.

c-los13

I Would like to know more about that....ummmmm...I'm seeing stock mani with a wastegate welded on it. But that's gettong off subject...I really appreciate all the replies. Hoipe this helps other ppl like me. Ill post my review on this item later

c-los13

i was responding to this on my phone but im finally home....
i really cant wait to purchase this turbo since everybody got good reviews on it
ill try my best to post some pics of how to install it to return the favor to other ppl wondering about this trubo
and again....THANKS!

codyace

Just remember it *is* not a namebrand turbo, so it is (to a degree) buy at your own risk. Drag guys have made great power on ebay turbos, however their longevity is suspect.

Yeah!! Exactkly like that, I had seen it somewhere else on the forum. And yeah ima have to take the risk, a year warranty seems fair enough since ill give me time to save up and get a better turbo or a new setup. I read a write up that you did on sr's Codyace, extremely helpful, I got that thing bookmarked. Ill send you a pm about the wastegate when I get home.

alexanderig

enjuku is on point when it comes to customer service and i have a friend running this turbo on his miata and it spools quick and hes had no complaints

seeks14

just go garrett. you wornt regret it.

vas570sx

^garret may be a more reliable turbo out the gate, but they have NO warranty in the event of failure. Ken at enjuku is a scholar when it comes to warrantying Isis products. Their customer service is bar none. Not only have they overnighted me warranty parts, but they included a shipping label for returning the faulty parts.

I called enjuku earlier to find out what would be the total for this swap, the price was very reasonable but he was also saying that I would need a tune or some kinda piggyback, I'm not familiar at how those things work. He also said I should be fine unless If I drive the car nornal but I should get a tune asap. I am on planning on getting a tune but that's after I get injectors and the maf. Kinda pointless right now. Also for the ppl that have thos turbo, how did you guys raise the boost? I had an open t fitting on mine and it had me at 11 lbs but idk about this one. Thanks in advanced. I

c-los13

Sorry about my grammar, I'm still getting used to my new phone :/

codyace

Oh you're stock yet with fuel....I'd get that stuff before the turbo for sure.

Injectors
MAF
Fuel Pump
Tuned Ecu (Jim Wolf Technology or Enthalpy)

Then get a turbo. If not you're not only severly risking your engine, but you'll never use the turbo to it's potential.

On an SR20det, i would say that you're fine running something around stock boost. Ken is a smart man, but if you leave the boost low, you'll be fine.

When you get injectors and a maf, look into Enthalpy for custom tuning. Email Martin at Enthalpy to see about a tuned ECU for your maf/injector/boost level combo. I'd say with 550cc injectors, z32 maf and about 15psi, that thing should RIP!

I hope i've helped you out with this.

I agree about the whole "if you wanna see the turbos potential" thingy, but if he runs a 1/2 bar, he'll be fine till he gets the rest of the parts and a tuned ECU. From there, throw it up to a bar and let her run.

How much PSI for stock internals though?

c-los13

Good question KOME, I currently have a walbro and a nismo type A fpr, I know many ppl run that setup the 550's and z32 maf and put down some decent numbers. I guess ill run stock boost and baby the motor til I get a tune. I really appreciate evrybodys input. I've also heard the if I pass 300hp I should def change my HG so I think ill stay under that.
