should have no problems if you run a tunable ECU, new injectors , dyno time and move the AFM..... i'd say 4000-4500 rpm for full boost with the larger exhaust...

do it right rather than just bolting on a big turbo as you will more than likely lean out the engine then you are looking for a new one.

maybe add some heat sheild under the bonnet above the turbo as your bonnet is going to get very hot.. HEHEHEH looking good though

Got any specs for it? Exhaust A/R? What model T04 is it? T04E? looks to be an older style garrett turbo, looking at the compressor outlet.

Anyways, Going by looking at it....... and Judging by the T4 footprint and the size of the comp cover/exhaust housing, That thing is going to be a lag monster, as that is a VERY large exhaust housing for a little 2 ltr.

Ive just purchased a Trust TD06 20G 8cm, and I thought that would be a tad laggy, but from everything I can read Im looking at maybe 4000 - 4200 full boost. And that's a shitload larger than a TD06 mate.

If your car is "Drift style", why go for such a large huffer? Why not go for something really responsive with good power delivery? Is it A genuine garrett or an ebay job? The manifold sure looks EBAY spec. And why mount the AFM directly on the front of the turbo?

If you want to retain some form of street drivability, then I suggest maybe a smaller turbo. Or at least a smaller exhaust housing. Id be very surprised if that made full boost before 5000-5500.

Mind you, this is just by a visual inspection. Id be after some more data to give more confident advice.

What other mods are done? Injectors/Cams/AFM/management/internals.... cause you'll need the first four if you intend on running some big boost with that thing.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
