hey,

just wondering about the t66 turbo, and how'd they go on an rb25det. what modifications would need to be made, manifold, exhaust etc?

what power would be made on around say 16psi (for starters), and how much the it would cost to get one set up.

can they be made to spool up at around 3500 rpm.

anyone with t66's on there rb25det's would love to see ya results.

cheers

only reason i ask is because i figure bigga turbo+"less" boost= still big power. meaning dont have to boost as much for same results, but u get a little lag instead.

there was an rb30et with one and it made over 330rkw, but that was on around 22 psi. just wondered if many had them on rb25det's.

thanks.

if i was to say that on 16psi a t66 would make around 280rwkw, with other mods such as fuel system, intercooler, exhaust, and ecu, would i be close to the mark. or would it be more like 240rwkw.

the thing is, i have a dream. and in this dream i want to run 11's, and when running 11's ......

I did the exact set up on my last engine and it started to spool up about 3700-4000 rpm and then by 4001 rpm she hit full boost(20+psi) and three lanes from where u were, when u last looked at the rd, and the time it take to go from 4001-7500rpm is 0.000001 of a sec.

Ever looked at something like a T04R or T51R from HKS? Big power, not as much lag as a T66. The T04R kit is a medium-large HKS single turbo capable of 730+rwhp (Dynojet / 860 flywheel horsepower) on high boost. The JUN s15 has one and pushes out big power, so if it works well on SR20's, it should work just as well on an RB :D

TO4R specs

T04R Turbine wheel dimensions are 74.2mm/64.7mm

T04R compressor A/R is .70

Available T04R turbine A/R's are .81, .84, .96 and 1.15

HKS turbo inducer / exducer sizes

HKS T04R 66.7mm/84mm

HKS T51R KAI 70.3mm/94mm

HKS T51R SPL 76.5mm/102.2mm

hey,

thanks for all the info. i am not to sure about which way i want to go. Ball bearing is much more expensive, and dont really cant justify spending into the $3000 mark on just a turbo. The large garret items however can be gotten for around the $2000 mark. but a t04e might be another option.

hungry6 wat sorta power were you making at the treads, and wat sort of times would a turbo like this be good for. 1250 kg car. i know theres heaps of other variables, but did u manage a good time.

thanks

any more input welcome from other guys with big turbo setups

hey,

i sorta thinking away from the t66 idea. 4000rpm spool sounds a bit boring for street use.

was thinking of getting a turbo which can still make around the wsame power, but just have a smaller housing.

is that how it works?

if not how can i make the same sort of power but have boost coming on a hell of a lot earlier.

is this possible or is it a compromise.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
