OK here it is the final product/s

RB25 BB turbo

Vg30 exhuast housing

T04B vtrim Compressor

Standard ceramic turbine wheel

Turbine snout enlarged to 52.2mm

result 15psi by 4100rpm

spool starts @2000rpm goes nuts @ 3600(hello tyre fry)

Result 266rwkw @ 17psi

Or Less power Quicker response

Same specs as above with

groove in inlet (same as standard rb25 inlet)(reduces compressor efficiency)

Turbine Snout 51mm

15psi by 3800rpm

spool @ 1800rpm no sledge hammer effect like above just smooth till 3800rpm

result 245rwkw @ 10-15psi will not make more power with boost increase

# Please note these specs bring the turbo right next to the surge limit. If surge occurs it can be supassed with a Greddy E01 or dual stage rpm activated boost control, adjustable cam gear etc. I had absolutely no surge with both these specs. Every car is different however.

*The most fun I had with this turbo was with the turbine snout @ 51mm(no groove) which put it right into the surge zone. I had dual stage boost control which went from 11 to 15psi @ 4000rpm and eliminated my surge problem. Was absolutely awesome fun getting wheel spin in 4th on acceleration......on 18" 275 tyres ->not very drivable in the hills with the sledge hammer boost build. Each to there own

* This turbo will not boost more than 16-17psi due to the turbine trim. It reaches max flow around that level anyway so extra boost would have no advantage.

For those in the know a Turbonetics Super Vtrim compressor will proide 400rpm earlier boost response...Untested by myself.

Happy Boostin

hmmm i was reading about that variable housing in 21 century performance, it sounds good in theory. but to tel you the truth i have never seen on or herd of one being used on a car? it sounds amazing.

BOOSTED: what computer are you running. i have a VG30 turb on my car now and i am going to modify it very simialr to what you have done to get about a 240rwc. because i am using the VG housing with a bigger A/R, will there be a need for the groove to reduce surge?? and am i able to contor the sure as i am running a MOTEC M4?

alot of queations i know, sorry :D . thanks, jonathan

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
