Anybody out there fitted a T78 or T88 Turbo? Thinking about it for an upgrade and would like to know about bhp, box & clutch upgrade, lag, general driveabliity, fuel consumption and such. Let the good times roll......

My mate has got a T78 on his R33 (currently for sale). He has around 500rwhp. Not sure when it comes on but being a large turbo its a little laggy but the top end is awesome. He has had a heavy duty clutch fitted so driveability is fine and the box is holding up so far. Not sure on fuel consumption but very reasonable from what i have heard.

Not really enouth info concerning your current set up (stock internals/mods etc), type of car, power aim, how much MONEY you have budgeted (in any case take a figure you think will cover it and double it).

get twin low mounts, gtss's, 2530s or N1s

the only big turbo car ive been is a gts-t with a t67(large exhaust housing)..

that car had stock internals and pulled 340rwkw on about 1.2bar... anyway it had cams a/f int plenum, flowed head etc came on full boost about 4500 but had useful boost at around 4000...

the car wasnt that good for everyday useable power.. lots of top end.

Big turbo's = Boring

The hardest thing to do is create a responsive engine with flatline or progressive torque.

Dual sequential turbo's are by far, the smarter choice in terms of drivability and top end performance.

Its simply wank factor to have a stock engine with a shiny t88 :(

[offtopic] Yes, but why would you rid the RB26 of its true-twin set up (by true-twin I mean non-sequential, i.e. both turbos spool and produce +pressure (boost) at the same time) setup in favour of a sequential twin setup? Sequential systems are good in theory, but by having the huffers sharing the same exhaust manifold, they suffer from the "gate" (for lack of a better word) that switches between the small and large huffers being jammed or stuck, rendering the sequential setup partially useless..Examples are FD series RX-7s and JZA80 series Supras [/offtopic]

    • 100% this, no point delivering a steam oven when the client just wanted a toaster 
    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
    • Would you mind uploading the pics again in your steps?  It’s not showing up. 
    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
