Jesus ! Isnt that abit big? o.O

Not at all. Would be a good mid range turbo on a 20B (EDIT: Especially with the 1.00 exhaust housing). They can take massive huffers and be streetable. Love the Cosmo, awesome cars. Had one once - only had 220rwkW though (stock turbos and everything aside form exhaust & intake). Ran a 13.4 in the heavy bastard with a crapola launch then wheel spin (you get that with 20s) with the stock converter.

It's quite funny coming from having 2 Skylines where a 3040 is classed as fairly big 3037 and 2835 are good mid range. And where a TO4Z is HUGE.

In the rotary community - a T04Z is small for a 20B even a 13B - However - I don't know anyone that is running an HKS version - they are all Garretts. I have a very sneaky suspicion that I will surprise the Rotorheads with the HKS.

I didn't get the turbo for outright power. More for response and nice big fat power curve.

Full boost should come on about 2500 RPM on the 20B (Some say even less than that). And I will be happy for anything over 300 rwkw - but again, I suspect more.....

Will be matching this with the Halech E11V2 ECU, 550cc primary injectors, 1600cc seconaries - bigger fuel pump. Already have re resst of the gear on the car - big exhaust, bigger FMIC.

Going to get the manifold custom made from steam pipe.

Should be a ball tearer - and able to able to achieve a decent 1/4 time - FINALLY !

Stay Tuned !

Cool - that's a pretty good price. I got mine for a bit less than that, but not much less. You got the turbo 4 days before you ordered it ? How good is that :)

Blitz - I am hoping for better fuel economy after the ECU and turbo upgrade. Currently getting 300kms to a tank (85L)......... Thirsty bastard !

I was going to say that's what I get, lucky to get 300kms out of 80 odd litres!! God it was expensive to run, otherwise a perfect cruiser.

Should have got a thumper. Now that is a good steetable sized turbo for a 20B with decent top end. :(

I had a T66 on an RX7 which was a good street turbo, made 300rwkW on 15psi came on full boost by 4.5k rpm and ran hard to 8k. Rotaries love big turbos.

My cousin just put the Garret version of this turbo on a 12a, it's also got a custom (made by him) steam pipe manifold. Like you say they seem rediculously huge for a piston car, but for the rotars they are well suited..............something to do with the exhaust overlap i.e. more exhaust gasses per revolution than a piston motor.

Good luck with the mission of over 300rwkw

The reason for that gets rather technical and can cause arguements on rotary forums :) But yes subsequently rotaries are strong on the exhaust side of things and make the power of relatively low boost from big turbos (compared to their piston counterparts).

  • 2 weeks later...

Nearly ready to take it into the shop.

Got the HKS GT2 60 mm wastegate coming this week, plut al the turbo fittings.

Already have the 1600 cc/min secondary injectors, along with the 044 pump.

Sard BOV will replace the standard one

Custom steampip turbo manifold being made up, along with custom dump and air intake, filter box etc.

ECU will be Haltech E11V2

Should be ready to race in about 3-4 weeks !

Can't wait !

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
