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.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
