Hey there, I recently bought this mint Power Enterprise ball bearing pe1420 to fit it to my 3S- ge project. This is a common T2 flange turbine housing and simple bolt on turbocharger for S13, s14 and s15 SR20det engines (maybe Pulsar as well). Perfect condition spins freely with "out of factory" shaft play radial and axial. I just noticed that this specific turbocharger is only suited for a low mount installation, due to its wastegate flapper design (flapper will not shut in a top mount installation). Due to it's size this should provide awesome spool up response and is good for up to 380 crank hp @ 20PSI they say: POWER ENTERPRISE USA There is no wastegate actuator as the factory IHI ones tend to get stuck so someone decided to get rid of it during its lifetime. But should be easy to make up a bracket for a Garrett or aftermarket actuator. Asking price £400 delivered.
Thank f*ck someone else has one of these!! I've had one in need of a rebuild lying around for about a year but had no info on it at all when I got it (got given it free with some braided lines I bought XD) good to know what they're worth so I know if it's worth the work to build good luck with the sale!
Yeah not much information around about these.. only thing they are known of is initial response and good power output. Don't know about value if in need of a rebuild tho. But this is in perfect condition and the price is a bargain considering these retail for more than the double of my asking price. I read somewhere that they even outspool the famous disco potato and that's a statement. That's the reason why I bought it, even if I only got one engine and three BB turbochargers now. So two have to go.. - - - Updated - - - Yeah not much information around about these.. only thing they are known of is initial response and good power output.

Still up for grabs.. Sensible offers considered. Could also provide an uprated Garrett style actuator, which could be made to fit this I guess.
I had one of these on my s14a when I got it. Fantastic turbo with fast response. Would definitely recommend someone buys this. Great for fast road/track and spools faster than a 2860rs. Only reason I got rid of mine is it was very old and the bearings were dead. glws!
Cheers for sharing your experience! I was told the same by the previous owner. So this should be mental for quick spooling applications. Sadly nothing for me as I cannot low mount a turbocharger on my engine. That's why this is looking for a new lucky owner....
Still for sale.. and still one of the quickest spooling turbos around. Get yourself some midrange torque for your SR20 or ca18!
£360 shipped anyone? Not much for a high quality bolt on ball bearing upgrade turbocharger from Power Enterprise!
Yes there actually is a small crack in the wastegate area, but this is pretty common with most internally gated turbochargers (Garret/ IHI) as this area is a highly stressed one. This won't affect performance much as you can read all over the internet. I used turbochargers worse than that and haven't had any power issues with them. This also is no external leak and is mostly covered by the wastegate flapper when shut.
