looks like most people prefer the T3/T4 setup, and the advice from most people recommanded it that 220kw will able to reach.

However T04E might lag, but it will be fun to drive around town at low boost, and when you want it, nail it and the power come..may be I'm wrong..

will open for suggestion..

I myself would prefer a t3/t4 setup but when u weigh the value of a t3/t4 from cgc $2000 & at the same time a HKS GT2530 brand new would cost just the same so ppl look at other alt.

You can sometime see on for sale for $1000+

The reason why its so popular, its just so simple, take it out for them 2 trim all the bits they need, add larger compressor wheels etc & pop it stright back in.

Dont think of lag as drivable but think of your power band. Mainly Fast street cars aim towards Mid-Range torque over Top end.

eg.

You have till 7000RPM till REDLINE & if a turbo start spooling at 5000rpm, you have 2000rpm left for power then change of gear. How fast do you think it will reach to 5000rpm on lag?....quite long i imagine.

You have 5000cc more then i do (i own a r32) hence you would have less lag time compaired to a RB20

All depends on what you aiming for 180rwkw....you dont even need 2 think of a turbo since the r33 turbo can do 180rwkw before running out of puff

Don't laugh at me guys, initially I was planning a three stage upgrade towards to 300rwkw..I mean it..

stage one: upgrade the exhaust system, FMIC (P-FC already in place)

Stage two: upgrade the stock turbo with T04E, HKS ex manifold, wastegate, dump pipe run at 14 psi (if fuel lean out, the stage three comes in)

Stage three: upgrade stock injectors with 550cc item, fuel pump, forgie pistons, gasket..

The most concern for me is bring the lag down to minimun, and I will see if a switchable "side exhaust" helps..

I don't know how relistic can go, but open for suggestion..

It is possible to change the exhaust housing on the turbo & getting a smaller one for less lag.

300rwkw....that would be great, just make sure you take it one step at a time & also include injectors & fuel pump on stage two of your work, this will keep your engine from leaning out & destroying the engine.

but just 2 let u know, you might need alot more work then that to reach 300rwkw.

esp. internal work to the engine to cope with it, you got to remember nissan never designed the rb20/25 to make 300kw but its do-able.

Hey that housing isnt big at all!

a .63 housing is great infact it doesnt even sound like a T4 turbine housing.

Use the .70 comp and .63 ex and i dont think there will be much lag at all........taken those figures..

Should spool up good

Im happy with my t3/4 I get full boost 3000rpm in 2nd gear :uh-huh:

Adam you gobbler you have an exhaust A/R of 1.06 my whole turbo could fit in your ex housing thats why you should bring it down to a .86

Sidewaymambo ex housing is only a baby .63 which is whay i mentioned it could spool not so late as yours

No1 can really tell you when its gonna spool up.

I dont think it would be that big of a problem.

50(compressor)/63(turbine) is one of the smallest t04e ive ever come accross & it would give or take spool on my RB20 ill say around 3500 or 3000 give or take.

60(compressor)/70(turbine), would be just a size down (few mm difference) from the above & you have RB25 so you got more cubic (5000cc) then i do so im giving an est guess of 3500rpm but pretty sure it will be under 4000 rpm but we will find out in the end :)

we can always port the head & get bigger cams 2 bring down alittle bit of lag :D

Hopefully my figures are right if so it would be sweet.

Almost forgot, your HKS manifold has a Split-Pulse Flange so it will help the turbo spool alot quicker also.

Compressor A/R means SHIT regarding lag. the bigger the more power it can produce (i beleive as im still learning how 2 read compression maps on turbos abit better)

What determins lag is the exhaust housing. The bigger the exhaust housing the more lag you gonna have.

as macka stated:

Adam you gobbler you have an exhaust A/R of 1.06 my whole turbo could fit in your ex housing thats why you should bring it down to a .86

sidewaymambo: yours is .70 which should be good for your application.

anything around or above .90 should be fitted on a rotor, is what i beleive.

Joe.

Correct me if im wrong.

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
