This turbo is a monster with a 1.15 A/R exhaust, but has anyone done it and what lag can be expected? Boost to kick in at 5k or a bit better than that?

Advice appreciated.

FMIC

Haltech

Stock internals

3" full exhaust etc.

would only be running 1 bar.

I bolted on a HKS T51R Kai BB for shits and giggles to a stock RB25 longblock. Had a Greddy plenum/115mm intercooler/PowerFC.... was a rocketship i tell ya! Had to flatchange gears to get some boost into the system, made next to no boost in 1st gear. Only ran 9psi, was a bit timid with boost at the time. Had to bump up the rev limit on the dyno to 8500, when it hit boost at 7k it fried the tyres.

Oh, made power for alot more than 2 minutes. Took it off out of frustration (and had another turbo to try out). Even tried out circuit racing at Eastern Creek with it, Roy and I couldn't stop laughing at it (well, until it fouled the plugs and nearly had to be towed off).

Visual appeal was at a maximum though.

Was going for the 42, but I chickened out because it scared me unpacking it.

Went for littlebrother GT40, and that one even looks too big.

The little one is a 600hp Precision turbo!

I`ll give the GT40 a try.750hp rating. Wiseco/Crower internals.

It was only by chance that I found one so I figured I would ask.

I really want a GT30/40, GT35/40 or a HKS 3037S something equivalent which is proven on the RB25's.

But thanks for the input, like I said appreciated.

It wasn't a lag monster, it was a Skyline built for cruising. You could call it a Skying.... or a Cruiseliner? heheh

Those guys that were with me the night you gave me a lift to the Swans game still pull their d1cks over how it went, and more imprtantly how it sdounded when it spooled and hit boost.

It was so cool, the sound alone was worth every second you had to wait to boost.

I think its sufficient to say that an 800Hp turbo is a long way out of place on an RB25 , it would be extreme on an RB26 and laggy on a street driven RB30DET .

If you go this way and I strongly advise you don't , use the HKS version which is called T51R as it uses a smaller trim turbine than the Garrett marketed GT42R ie 76T vs 84T .

Very very laggy , very expensive and very likely to destroy your RB25 . Why bother .

If it were me on a std RB25DET I would do the HKS GT3037 in 52 comp trim or ask GCG if they can make a similar combination up for you . A lot of people find the GT30R (the real one which is same cartridge as GT3037 56T) is laggy and you have to push it to get good squirt which is a pain in a road car . Small AR turbine housings only make them surge so that 52T compressor is a must and makes 40lbs airflow in .50AR TO4E cover so 400 should be no prob .

A bit OT but we need Garrett Japan to make GT30 and GT35 turbines in smaller trims than 84 , the current GT40R uses a 78T and the High Kost Spec GT42R (T51R) a 76T turbine .

Cheers A .

if it's any use as a comparison, i have a GT40 with a 1.34 A/R rear housing on my RB30 DET. standard cams, custom plenum and exhaust manifold.

1st gear: lucky to see 4psi of boost at 6000rpm. full traction.

2nd gear: 10psi around 4800rpm (hard to tell) lots of tyre frying. goes from 70km/h to 130km/h in the space of about 1 second. this gear feels roughly three times as fast as first did.

3rd gear: 10psi at 4000rpm. traction is borderline. very fast gear up top past 150km/h.

4th gear: load it up and you'll have 10psi at 3500. by then you're doing close to the sound barrier anyway so you better stop quick.

on a 25 even the GT40 with smallest rear would be stupid, let alone the one i have.

p.s. makes great noises though, this turbo!

Precision makes smaller exhausthousings for the GT40. This one is A/R 0.81 with 69mm outlet.

They call this turbo GT4067R. Rollerbearing core. 750hp rating. 1.5bar/22psi at 4800-5000 rpm with some good cams. I`ll post my dynopaper when done building/ mapping.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
