t66 turbos on rb25det

[predator]

dabigbolf: sounds like u want the extra turbo power.. without the costs involved!

don't forget all the extra stresses on the engine.. clutch, fuel system, gearbox, pistons, rings, rods, head gasket, everything if you go too fullsik on power. Budget at least $3k for a mid-range turbo upgrade (around 230rwkw) which u can keep much of your standard stuff (but be prepared to fork out if they go)... If u want fullsik... budget at least $6-$8k+ on your upgrade and get around 300rwkw

who cares about lag. learn to drive in the place where it makes the power. seems more than logical to me.

if you want low rpm power go get a truck engine. 600 horsepower at 1600 rpm.

for now i just cant wait to get my car on the road. i was just thinking of this cause i was bored.

interesting wat peoples view are though.

and WASTED. dont u think if everyone had Rb26's it would be a pretty boring world. sometimes you just gotta try something different.

when i want power i drive the car in the place where is produces more power. when i dont want power i drive in the low rpm's where is more gental and quiet. and if your wondering how to drive your car in the range where its producing the most power. pick the right gear. not really that complicated.

what about a td06? I no of a rb25 silvia that run 11's on stock motor with one, and was still very nice to drive on the street.

Hey dabigbolf seriously if u want big power u gonna get big lag, the smaller your exaust housing the lower your top end will be. Ball bearings get to the essential stage when we are talking big power figures to reduce any further lag problems...

It sounds your scared of a laggy car what i would suggest is when do u want your full boost to come on at what rpm then you can rule out certain turbos.

Saving for the Ball Bearing equivalent gives you a bigger HP turbo with the same amount of lag

I want Full boost to come around 3500 and i think i can acheive 350wrhp with that pretty easily

At current Im pulling 300rwhp at 1bar and getting full boost by 3000 puts the smile back on the dial but the compressor wheel that achieves me to reach that full boost so early surges a fair bit on slight throttle openings...
