I'm pretty sure most T04's are externally gated, this means it wont bolt onto your existing exhaust manifold. You will need a new one which will take an external wastegate, or you can do what I did, had the external wastegate welded onto the exhaust housing, do a search on "td06 stage" in this thread and you might find some photo's of it, if you want photo's pm me your email and I will send them on. Next you will need new oil and water lines (I'm not sure if the T04 is water cooled, correct me if I am wrong) if it doesnt need a water line you will need to have the existing water line plugged up. Next you will probably come across some sort of boost/fuel cut as the stock ecu doesnt like much over 12psi of boost. Following this you will start to lean out at the top end as your stock fuel pump cant cope with the demand of the bigger turbo requiring more fuel. Next your stock clutch will start to slip and then die because it cant handle the extra power. Have I missed anything guys??? Fitting a bigger turbo isnt just a simple case of swapping them over it requires a lot of systems to be upgraded prior... oh I just remembered do you have a bigger intercooler? you'll need a fmic to help stop detonation.

Is her car completely stock? Geez... she started at the wrong end :) If your car is stock, I'd either sell the turbo and get an exhaust (the absolute first thing you do on any car to increase HP is change the exhaust) or put the turbo on a shelf and do a lot of other things first.

What are the actual specs of the turbo?

Coz it might be 2 big or mismatched for the rb25 and u will waste all your $$ putting it on there and will give u shit results.

denham, my t04 is huge, n this size works fine on rb25 so hmm i dunno bout too big :P

too small? maybe so

btw jax my manifold is up for sale as im going bigger again

exhaust is on its way just gotta get down to melb to get it done..... how much for ur manifold yoda?? yes i am doing the other things first. i dunno what sorta turbo it is or isn't finding out today b4 i pay 4 it. i 'm getting it at a cheap price thats y i ave natched it up now.

thanx fellas for the info... i figured the exhaust would ave to b done. yes eugene is stock... coz i dont know anything about turbos. but the twin exhaust is too gay for my baby lol.

  • 2 months later...

the same turbo as mine (which may be up for sale) on a auto soarer 2.5L starts boost at 2100 rpm and has 1 bar by about 3300rpm

im told it would be a little sooner on a manual 2.5L

the exhaust housing a/r is 1.00 from what i could gather. front housing is 0.7 a/r i think

not sure on the wheel sizes

but these turbos can come in heaps of different sizes

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
