The 6258 is more suited to a 2ltr or smaller. I have a 6758 on my 2ltr Wrx and you wouldn't want anymore response. We have a 6758 .8A/R on a c34 Neo Stagea making 20psi by 2500rpm.

Excuse my ignorance and lack of knowledge. Would that mean running out of high end puff but having everything down low? I only ask as ive asked a highflow service provider if i can get bucket of low down torque and power to suit my driving style in tight and twisty roads not interested in long straights and high kw. And well said service provider sent me to a factory replacement turbo running same boost and comes on at around same time... sorry for long winded question hope you can pick it out i think ive even lost it in there somewhere

You will certainly have response with the 6258...the starter motor will bring it on boost. You will have positive pressure from idle. It's Still no slouch. Have seen a time attack car win several events with the 6258. Only problem is you make risk over spinning the turbine up top to keep the flow from dropping off...which causes other things to drop off ;-)

Cheers for the info mate. Well that puts a downer in my plans.

It will still be awesome, will just be limited to 20-25 psi up top due to the pumping capacity of the 2.5. If you're get onto Borg Warner match bot. It will plot your wheel speed. Check the speed limit on the associated flow chart.

Here you go, I've done it for you. As you can see the little 6258 will over speed ifthe boost is kept up at high rpm. Drops off even more than I thought. These turbos are good for the 2.5 ltr Wrx Sti that only rev to 5500rpm. You would definitely need the .85a/r turbine housing. Check out the boost pressure level in the table.

20psi dropping off (reliable turbo)

20psi holding, .85a/r (over speed)

Anywhere else such as where the airbox sits is going to limit the dump flow, I would mount it in the stock location, perhaps slightly tilted up at the front to help straighten the piping a little. Shame we can't swap the starter to the other side like the VQ30det.

If the compressor housing is much larger than a GT30 TO4E? I think you will struggle in the stock location, mine only just fit. Apparently there is a GT35 in one somewhere, but damn it must be tight. You would want at least 10-15mm clearance from the chassis rail unless you want to run solid engine mounts.

limit the dump flow?

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
