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?

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
