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.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
