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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      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.
