Hey i recently had a GT35/40 turbo on my rb25 but it had a .63 ex housing when i bought it, well that was abit responsive and not ideal for the power range im after, so it is now sold.......... my issue now is im not sure whether to buy another GT35/40 turbo with a larger ex housing OR use a T04Z with similar size ex housings.....anyone no which would be a better choice???? Power output im chasing is 450hp at wheels, lag could be an issue, so thats why im asking for any opinnions.... cheers guys.. 35/40 or T04Z????? oh n i forgot to mention, its a t3 flange at the moment but am changing that to t4 at present so both turbo choices will be used in conjunction with a T4 flange

I'll help you see the silly.

T04z - upto 450rwkw.

So if you only want 330rwkw, then its not smart to go a big huffer like the t04z.

The GT35 is far better suited to that range and will be more responsive and feel a truck load better for only 330rwkw.

gt3540 82 rear on a top mount manifold well designed ie: 6boost, external gate, and 19psi roughly? :dry: As sugested much much better than the T04z.

1+ the T04Z prefers 24psi and upwards of boost where as the 3540 will spool earlier and less boost to make better power? as far as i can gather

What he forgot to mention is the engine is about 2.7L... If that changes which turbo to go for or not I dont know. But its handy to have some specs on the engine.

how does rb26 crank and rods = 2.7L?!?

i would definately go the gt3540r, supports your aimed power output with better response and also suits your engine build better, t04z is too big and i would imagine you would start breaking internals :rolleyes:

na its 2.6 not 2.7...cheers nismoid, your a legend.. the .63 ex housing on my previous 35/40 would start to make boost at 2800rpm, im looking for one that comes on song about 4000rpm.. give or take. but ideally if the target hp (450hp) is reached then i'm happy either way... next is the fact the manifold has a t3 flange, with previous turbo (.63 ex housing) the housing and manifold and top of dump pipe would glow red at cruise on dyno, not even giving it a power run, was thinking maybe the t3 flange is abit restrictive so enlarging to t4 flange might have to be the go this time round also.????????????

um not on cruise they dont, when i told the tuner he stopped n let car idle till things stopped glowing, wasn't even boosting it, my mates hi mount turbo sr20 that was there with me only glowed once they did some full power runs

Yes they do champ. At cruise the AFR's are considerably leaner and as such, make for much hotter exhaust gasses. Your manifold is more likely to glow like that at part throttle and cruising than under medium to full load.

Fact.

ok, my bad, its just that i thought of it this way........ with power comes heat, for example lets say we have a car that makes 400hp flat out, and to keep it simple maths we'll say it uses 100hp at cruise which is only a 1/4 of its potential hence internal combustion temps not being that hot so i didnt think the manifold would glow however at full noise your using 400hp its now making 4 times the power and your internal combustion temps have gone through the roof hence exhaust metals changing colour. this is the way i thought it was, regardless of mixtures being lean or rich, at the end of the day if your cruising you wouldnt think the internal temps would get hi enough to glow manifold unless there was a build up of....back pressure due to t3 flange or .63 ex housing?? now i may be wrong but i dont remember seeing cars exhaust glowing on cruise unless there was a restriction....???????? make any sense?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
