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 .

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

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
