what about a T78-33D? or are they borderline BFOT?

I'd say a T78 is pretty much BFOT territory, similar to T04Z - and aren't you trying to get around that?

If you're looking down the Trust path, TD-07S is smaller.

So is it still SST, or are you thinking of something a bit larger?

I would like to see the results of an HKS T04Z with the .61 rear used on a standard displacement RB26 ;)

would go quite well no doubt.

I was running 3037s56t on rb25, it was nuts, made well over 300rwkw, made strong boost under 4k rpm - and not one garrett name brand came anywhere near the sort of response/power I was making - infact I have never seen a garrett generic turbo make near the same power/response/toque/spool as the HKS did. (but that is a different topic.

On RB26, no doubt the 3037 would be a very sweet thing indeed.

for the twin set-up I want I'd need:

HKS 2530s

for SST

HKS 3037

Not a good comparison, 2530's would get you up around 400 rwkw (not 300 rwkw). I think 2510's would be a better choice if 300 rwkw is your target. But having driven several GTR's with 2530's they would be my choice with around 350 4wkw. They make a NICE circuit car, perhaps why the Mines R34GTR has 2530's on it, as does the re-released Nismo R32 Ztune.

;) cheers :D

You haven't looked hard enough, GCG supplied GT3040 = 325 rwkw with 1 bar at 3,750 rpm. It's all in the tuning, spend $200 extra on that and save $1K on the turbo

;) cheers :D

700HP-GTR33 I certainly hope you're kidding around because thats a ridiculous suggestion that unless they have 2 turbos, a GTR is not a GTR!!

Have a look next track day and see how (especially a certain) big single GTRs go. The days of useless BFOTs has passed, there is absolutely no reason a single can't do what twins do.

Back on topic T78 is way too BFOT, T04Z is awesome in comparison, 500rwhp @ 19psi with delivery by 4500rpm not being strictly on/off either, with the .81 rear. I'd track back towards something like a GT3037, GT3040 for the lower power level.

yes, well my car was tuned at the same place other guys had their gt30s done - does this mean I could have had alot more than 321? most likely, a japanese mech seemed to think it was a bit low...

would love to see a dyno graph for this gt3040, sounds like it worked unusually well, as there was another guy on here who fitted one (gcg) and he hated the thing - ended up going hks 3040 and fell in love.

As Gary mentioned, for 300rwkw on a twin setup,you want the most efficient turbos you can find so you would either search for a set of HKS GT2510's, or for the newer option, GT-SS's.

Both will comfortably reach the power goal and its already a well known fact that for response, its hard to go past GT-SS's, especially at ~$3,000 for a complete kit (Half the cost of the proposed SST setup!)

Speaking of the GT-SS Turbo.

My friend just bought a turbo and was told it was HKS GT-SS turbo.

It only has Garrett written on the housing but I don't recall if HKS actually put their name on all HKS turbos?

The core has this written on it:

HJ 0188J

GT S

472560-14

Can anyone confirm? :)

thanks for the input. good to get the SAU brains trust on this one.

nick, you are right, HKS GT-SS are the proven option and very good value at $3K, but you do need to factor in twin dumps and front pipes which would be much cheaper on the SST set-up with just one simple dump, and one simple front pipe.

Gary, I hear you on the 2530s too. They would be my other choice I think.

Morgs, I will heed that advice and put the T78 in the BFOT bag. but definately considering one of the small T04Zs.

What housing A/Rs do they come in (both ex and comp).

Something around .81 rear and a .60 front could be good depending on physical size/wheel size/trim. Should be good for 350rwkw and hopefully full boost before 4000rpm. basically whatever turbo I end up with I'd want the wastegate (s) cracked open before 4000. otherwise it's not really going to do it for me on street or track for that matter.

Speak to Dave (T04GTR) about his

Its a bit laggy, but the top end is quite a rush

Someone lock this thread....too may good ideas floating around.

Does anyone know the details of the IHI turbos the Z-Tune uses?

If its a track car, then i say stick with low mount twins and std manifolds and heat shields. Controlling the heat with a single and tubular manifold is a bitch on the track. And the heat from a little RB20 setup is going to be less then 300-330rwkws.

Agreed, Fernis cars is pretty damn impressive. I mean its pretty damn impressive :)

that is a good point. heat will definately be a problem. but damn we love the gate. and i know you do too.

Yeh new engine will have gate...though with the change to a smaller turbo and more displacement you might get too much gate and need to plumb it back :)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
