help with aps turbos
 
im looking for upgraded turbos for my aps kit, having a hard time finding a distributor that knows what im talking about.

i know percision makes 5862 6262 6766s with the mitsubishi 5 bolt housing. hoping a sponsor or someone can help me out with where to pick a pair up...


thx,
blake

you're thinking of DKT i presume, and they're not a sponsor
other than that you have to go to LG: http://www.lgmotorsports.com/product...oducts_id=2157

Somebody09 pretty much said it all. Also, I PMed you 2000camaroSS2000 about APS stuff. :)

i know i stir the pot alot...... but personaly i dont think the DKT and LG are even on the same plateform.......

FP's upgraded Mit20 with a Journal bearing. (LG)
or
PTE turbos with Dual Ball Bearing that have made over 1400 horse in a APS kit (DKT)

2000camaroSS2000 04-20-2013 11:57 AM

Are the dkt units still 4k a pop?

Toxic-Evo 04-22-2013 10:38 AM

when i bought my 6766's yes. they were 4200. i know PTE had a price increase so.... idk if the price has changed. but the 6262's are/were like 3200.

LG journal mit 20 is like 2800
DKT ball bearing 6262 is/was 3200.

and but there is no comparision. exhuast back pressure is lower. its BALL BEARING. is CEA compressor and turbine wheel.

to each there own. but no matter what Performance is not cheap.

93camaro_zzz 04-22-2013 10:50 AM

But the LG's are $2800 for BOTH of them, correct? Or is it just one of them? I don't remember the LG upgrade being $5600 for the two. That almost matched the price of the original kit entirely. DKT's are $3200 a piece, no?

I wonder if the TSR70's will work? My buddy bought the new kit a few years ago when they first came out. His 2.0 cosworth WRX made mid 400's on like 12 lbs breaking the motor in on the dyno. Sick turbo. They are super $$$$ though.

Edit: Never mind, didn't realize it was nearly 6 years ago. Still, APS makes some quality stuff.

2000camaroSS2000 04-22-2013 01:07 PM

Yes lgs are 2800 for the pair, I just ordered the center section you recommended. See how it turns out, not going to put 8k in turbos behind a stock motor and blow em up. Mabye after I build a motor it will be worth it.

DKT price is a pair also

That's price per pair, correct?

2000camaroSS2000 04-22-2013 01:31 PM

If that is the case, that's not bad at all.

}BlueFire{ 04-22-2013 01:35 PM

Well that would be just crazy to pay $3k for one turbo now wouldn't it lol well unless it was a 106+mm turbo

^^^ well 2800 plus 3200 is 6k..... so your almost to 8K. figuring i know two guys personally that had LG's fail on 427's..... i use to run a FP turbo on my Evo.. Robert can build good stuff.... just dont think it is best for these cars. the exhuast wheel is SOOOOO small..

it is a pair.

im not trying to be a dick but there is no easy way to put this.

you really thought they were 3200 each.???? its just a 6262 with a custom exhuast housing.. retial on the 6262 1599.99 EACH. thats 3200 retail.

most places sell this with a common housing for 1440. so 2880..... so DKT has
320 in two custom housings...... i think for the money he has invested to get us drop in turbos he isnt making shit on the return.... LG is using your old housing.

when ever i have asked for pricing on this i was told in a price per pair number. same way LG sells them. price per pair.

---------------------------------
sorry if i came across like a dick. just that surprised me.
