I would like to know some of the specifics of the RB25DET Series 1 Turbo. From what I have gathered it is a T3, but I am unsure of the manufacturer. I found an eBay sale for a Garret T3 that was "for the RB25DET" that upgrades journal bearings to thrust bearings. Can anyone elaborate on the turbo or this particular upgrade?

I can do a little bit of Excel work on when my turbo spools and then I can get my school to pay towards the rebuild when I apply it to the class. So I would like to jump on this opportunity to "freshen up my turbo".

I addition to this I have read a lot the the ceramic compressor wheel causes some problems and was wondering if I anyone had more info on upgrading this.

Its a T3 turbo made by Garrett.

I dont understand what your going on about with the bearings, thrust and journal are two different bearings in your turbo.

You can get a steel turbine wheel to replace the standard ceramic wheel which in turn allows you to run more boost as the ceramic wheels cant handle elevated boost pressures.

As far as rebuilding a turbo goes its pretty easy to do yourself as long as there is no damage to the housings or wheels and you mark everything when taking it apart.

If you had of googled this you would have known all the answers to your questions.

I believe the factory turbos on the rb20 rb25 & vg30 are actually hitachi turbochargers

      Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.

      Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below.

      It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.

      What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?

      It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
