Guys,

I need to know the maxumum power i can get out of a Garrett T04Z 0.96 on a RB30/26 with cams, port polish and pump fuel

you need to add more details

for example is it a std rb30 bottom end, or Forged rods etc as i think the std rb30 bottom end will be your first weak link as the turbos got plenty in it. What cams, injectors and ecu and fuel pump?

RB30 Engine with forged internals and crank collar. Head has HKS Step1 272 Cams and cam gears aswell as full head service and mild port.

R33GTR lift pump with Bosch 044 feed pump. Sard Fuel reg with 800cc Sard Injectors and PowerFC with Q45 AFM

i was advised by a workshop against using a rb30 bottom end with my t04z (1.00 a/r). They said that it would not have high enough rpm to take full advantage of the turbo. It will be fully balanced, argo rods/forgies, NEO head, tomei 260 cams, port and polish etc.

Your workshop has no idea then. :blush:

The rb30's rev fine with a set of aftermarket rods. The std rods are what cause the rb30 not to rev safely.

It may need slightly bigger than 260duration cams to make the most of it though. 265-272.

i was thinking bigger cams aswell although i can not find any cams bigger then the tomei 260..Strictly NEO heads of course. Apparently there are none that exsist so i am limited in that sense. The port and polish will be aggressive to compensate. What kind of rpm can the rb30 rev to with argo and balanced end? 8000k?

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
