Mythical turbo? Supernatural fabled turbo?

I am not sure if you were drinking or smoking something last night but I bet your post made lots of sense when you typed it.

Seriously, WTF?

Turbos are air pumps.

What car, what engine, what use (daily/track/strip), what power level do you want?

Answer these questions and give the forum something to work with.

Standard nissan housings are used for convenience to allow the turbo to remain stock looking and are machined out with larger turbine and compressor wheels fitted. Hi-flowed turbos generally seem to struggle when larger than 450hp cores are fitted but there are hybrid housing from new castings or with compressor housing changes are making more power with a cost of downlow response.

There is lots of information on these topics from hypergears turbo thread somewhere just below this post through to wealth of posts over the last 7 years or so on what works and what doesn't.

lol

if you wanna learn, read through threads like the hypergear hi-flow thread here.

getting the right size turbo, you have to take many things into account:

engine size

target power

how the car is being used. ie. drift, street, drag etc

and many more

use the search function, as no doubt its been covered before

There are better threads to read than that one...unless he's after a mythical combo then perhaps he can read that thread...

Read page 39 of that tread. There is a mythical turbo there turns your RB25 into a V8. lol

Aaron from Sliding Performance used to rebuild turbz that worked quite well on RB25s using machined VG30 housings and Biaggio CHRAs, until it became nearly impossible to find cheap VG30 comp/turbine housings

As ppl have said, the Hypergear rebuild using machined O.E RB25T housings and their specific CHRA seems to be the go on a budget these days

hahaha i was just trying to get your attention, worked though hey, mythical....bahaha

Good read, exactly the thread you are looking for. Has links to other relevant threads too I believe.

You will need access to a turbo re builder willing to do the work for cheap. Housings will need to be machined, odd parts will need to be sourced, specific instructions given to builders etc. Last time I approached GCG with the exact specs they laughed at me, primarily due to the fact they were not confident enough they could do it. They did however urge me to have them high flow the turbo for me at a cost of roughly $2000.

Now if you want to be realistic you can spend about half that having hypergear do you a high flow. I am sure he will also use whatever mickey mouse wheels you ask him to.

If your serious about it, find the turbo that suits your expectations as per the dyno thread and never look back.

Nah, were you pissed or stoned weren't ya.

Why you would want to make your own mongrel when the turbo shops have done the work with their own hi-flows or you can buy an off the shelf item from Garrett or Hks beats me.

240rwkw is firmly in GCG hi-flow range, HKS GT-RS in ball bearing or Hypergear can sort out one of his bushbearing turbos and you can benefit from their R&D.

Problem solved.

Not to mention hypergear have had some very impressive results of late!

As stated, go with the results that have the R&D to back.
