S4 RX7 turbo in GTS-t housing.

[1598cc]

Ive got a spare rx7 turbs in a bored out gtst housing, and was wondering if its worth chucking it on my gtst. physically the exhaust wheel is far larger, and the a/r's are higher , but its not a massive turbo as such..

would it provide good or decent gains .. also, does anyone know if these turbos are steel wheeled, or how do i find out?

cheers!

The rx turbos are steel wheeled, though you may find it to be a bit laggy as the rx trubo has a pretty big turbine to suit the high exhaust flow of the rotary engine

what sort of kw gains would you expect from using this turbo...

so if it is steel wheeled then what sort of boost levels can be achieved

go put a T04e- V- trim front wheel in it, or you could fit a .60 To4 comp

cover and fit a 58mm - H trim front wheel. Good for around 240rwkw.

Bit laggy on a RB20, comes on strong 4-4500rpm with the bigger .81 VG30 exhaust housing so the one you have would be nice , go see BIll at ATS

JMS did something similar a few years ago and got about 180rwkw i think which isn't a hell of a lot really, especially considering an RB25 turbo is capable of that with less lag and less boost.

As S3_Girl has said a T04 front wheel fill give you bit more to work with but i think the RB20 front housing may be a bit small to fit a big wheel in.
