As the title suggests , doing a manual conversion on an RS4 , 33 ECU and wiring - 2WD with gearbox .

The Turbo is getting old so i thought with the build a new Turbo would be an idea . Now it will be a manual I am thinking a larger/unrated turbo would be beneficial .

I would like to stay with original T3/4 fixings but if that is not a good idea tell me !

Any experience and issues would be a great help .

Head over to the Hypergear turbo thread in the forced induction section; Stao is pulling some pretty impressive numbers with bolt on highflows.

His current one ran 350kw (I think) admittedly E85 on a fabricated manifold, but it looks like a stock r33 turbo.

Getting your old turbo beeefed up has the advantage that it will just bolt straight in. If you have the time you cold post it to Hypergear or there must be local rebuilders although as above Stao from Hypergear has done some great development work. If you want a brand new turbo the Garrett GT3076 could get you 300kw if done right.

I use the garret 3076r 56t with a .63 on mine with a manual awesome turbo and not to much stuffing around to make it fit in my terms , makes 338rwkw on 17psi so more to come yet when I turn the boost up (that's using e85)

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
