Comes with actuator, but no water or oil lines.

Have someone checking it out tomorrow, so if your interested let me know. Its at G&D performance in Cranbourne if you want to check it out.

As I understand its built for a standard RB25 manifold. Read the horsepowerinabox link for exact details. It fits the T3 flange.

what power were you making @ what boost? And when did yu see full boost?

cheers

Well i had it on a commodore (please dont hurt me :D ) so i saw full boost just off idle! Being a 3.8l engine it was just a little too small of a housing. This turbo is designed for you guys so I wouldnt be worrying about power figures. It will give you more than you can handle. Basically, on 14-17psi it should make around 280rwkw on your engines.

"Should" and "Does" are two totally different things, unless you are offering a money back guarantee. On a std engine, you would need more than 17psi to make 280rwkw.

Don't mean to discredit your sale, as it has been proven to be a good turbo, just don't like reading figures that have been pulled out of the air.

Good luck

Yeah of course dude. People are asking me for dyno sheets. I am saying that a dyno sheet on a 3.8L engine is pretty much meaningless.

I got that power figure from this site. All I am saying is it is this turbo and some indication of the potential. It is made for a 2.5L skyline not a commodore.

i had one on my rb25 it pulled 277 rwkws on 98 ron fuel at 21psi. 283rwkws on 100 ron. great turbo! starts to spool at 2500rpm on a stock rb25 and full boost by 3500rpm. comes on really hard !!! if you guys want to see dyno sheet pm with your email address and i will send you one. cheers carl.

The turbo has only been running for a month or so in an very restricted setup so as to pass an emissions test. Then it was back to build.

Car has been off the road for the rest of the time since purchasing last year.

    • Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.
    • Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.
    • Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions
    • The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
