Or just run a Garrett GT4088R which has a real Garrett high temp material spec TS T4 flanged turbine housing . One actually designed for its turbine as well . They really are a better match of wheel to housing on both sides and more thought has gone into the wheel trims too . GT/X35xxR anythings are Garrett bastard bitzer turbos , wrong housings for both wheels and a stupidly large turbine trim . They are a legacy of Garrett trying to have something along the lines of the HKS spec GT3240 without the legal issues back then . You can do better .

A .

Actually I've heard of GT4088R exhaust housings losing integrity under similar conditions as well, and "pound for pound" I reckon are not as good in terms of real world performance on smaller displacement petrol motors than the GT3582Rs. My view of "doing better" would be more like putting a Borg Warner S300SX on there if you were going T4 TS.

until we really start testing this set up its hard to tell.

my personal opinion is it will be a great package in a 1100kg car.. with E85 we are able to make more power with smaller turbo which is great for throtle response and a nice flat power line helping with traction etc

Lol thats overkill for 500-550whp on E85 man - should still see >600whp on a DD if you leaned on it a bit. Just be a bit wary of EGTs on the track/drift, one of the guys here had one on his SR20 S15 running 600-700hp @ hubs on E85 and the divider in the ATP TS housing cracked... not ideal.

Out of interest, was he running e85, what sort of EGT's are you guys seeing with E85.

    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
