That is a massive turbo, if your going something that big you should either know what you are doing or be taking the advice of a GOOD mechanic.

No offense intended mate, but this sort of question is not one that needs to be asked... You are looking at a turbo capable of over 1000HP.. Which in turn will be a $xx000 engine setup. Note both numbers are missing, meaning I dare not assume it will be under 20 or even 30.

Just to put things into perspective, a 35R can run a 10. So the question is, what do you hope to do with a GT47?

Don't take on a setup like this unless you have $50,000 to spend. This $50k can be spent two ways:

1. Really good setup with all the correct parts and advice and you'll do 9's all day. You won't crack 8's because you need the chassis set up properly and the cost doubles

2. Buy all the cheap shit parts around to get it to work and spend $50k fixing your setup for every time it breaks

take a look at the mercury motorsport nitto, it has a GT47 on a built 2.7l RB26, can only imagine its a LOT more work to get it performing on a 25.

There is no reason why it wont go on a RB25, but for it to work effeciently is a whole different story

Yup thats what I was going to say, talk to mercury motorsport. I believe they use nos to reduce the lag, plus a fully designed setup with lots of experience in big power cars.

No reducing the lag on a GT4788. But if anyone would know about bolting a stupidly big turbo onto a RB trent would be the guy to talk too.

47 on a 25 .. goose.

my 26/30 will be running a gt42 and i reckon that a tad ovakill, couldnt imagine it with a 47 and an even smaller engine lol

Oh come come now - you can't really call him a goose given some of your recent posts! :whistling:

    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
