I reckon that turbo can support a lot more airflow (power potential) than an RB25 could reliably withstand so a bit pointless unless you beefed up the internals . To get the boost threshold down to an acceptable point for a road car would mean using a small AR ratio exhaust housing so the 750 odd Hp compressor is wasted .

As Chris said you don't hear of these things surging , guesstimate only but HKS may have done the cover like that knowing that heroes like to put big turbos on small engines with small AR exhaust housings . By small I mean under 2L 4's .

Not sure what you mean by "efficient boost" . Airflow makes for power and pressure just moves it along . I have been told that these wheels make their greatest efficiency at surprisingly low pressure and flow rate but the "islands" are very long meaning that they work over a wide range of flow and pressure ratio . Its a pity Garrett dont make a 76mm version of this wheel because it would be a good thing with a GT35 turbine .

Cheers .

the holes on the comp cover are a workaround for compressor surging

it allows air to enter onto the compressor wheel on the outer edge to balance out the some of intake sucking, which is commonly associated with surging. think of it as an anti surging device.

the bulk of the air enters the snout, thanks to the vacuum effect of the compressor wheel sucking in air, but a very small amount enters through the holes also to side step around surge

:)

The ported holes are there to assist in reducing compressor surge so that the air enters the compressor housing around the compressor not through it.

They are also meant to help stabilise the shaft when at high shaft speeds to help reduce turbulance which creates vibrations.

They are there to help at a very high level of boost and if boost preasure is run outside the capacity of the compressor wheel creating surge then the vacuum effectivly bypasses the air through the comp ports and past the compressor wheel.

Also will this turbo go good on a rb25det or will there be a bit of lag, also what will

be the max efficient boost.

Depending on the size of the rear exhaust housing I have a t04z with a.81 housing and Ill be running 2bar of boost through my RB25 hopefully It will be at full boost by 4 .5 to 5000 rpm

I'm skeptical will see 2bar @ 4500rpm with a t04z... you'd need some very well matched cams and some agressive tuning to do so.

Probably closer to the 5k mark as you say.

I saw 24psi around 4200-4400rpm depending on gear/load with a GT30/.82.

However but that wasnt street fuel so it had some super angry timing numbers screwed into it... cause we could :dry:

Definately post results when your done though dude.

It'll be interesting to see vs what i had with the GT30 :D

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
