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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
