t04e in short is old school technology and as such its performance is poor.

They are laggy and un-responsive. They are cheap, and they are cheap for that reason.

Use a Garrett or HKS turbo thats tried and proven.

Set a pwoer goal in rwkw and go from there

the T04E is the same as a garret 2530 i think or is it a 2860 i cant remember. its the same thing. and its a budget turbo. someone correct me. its the same as a garret .... something.

read up on the GTR special on HPI magazine. im gonna do a T70 on my gtr. singles better than twins IMO.

OOOHHHHH ok old tech i c.

I am in the process of learning all about turbos and specs and old and nes and 360 degree thrust bearings all all the mumble jumble about them.

3" Inlet Diameter : 2" outlet : Wet Floating Bearings : 1/8 NPT oil inlet

T3 Flange : Fits T3 and T3/T4 Manifolds

Specs: . 50 a/r compressor .63 a/r turbine .57 trim

Turbine wheel:

Exducer: 2.48"

Mayor : 2.89"

Compressor wheel :

Exducer: 2.07"

Mayor : 2.36"

If any one has the time or patience to explain to me wat all the above means that would be awsome.

Cheers

Dan

a t04e has nothing to do with a 2530 at all.

they are 100% totally different.

basically scooter - sounds like crappy ebay specials.

dont bother with them.

Buy a Garrett/HKS/Precision or something from a reputable company.

Not something from ebay

www.gcg.com.au

www.horsepowerinabox.com

Or the for sale section here can be good too.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
