I need some help on how to read the comp flow map for this T04 60-1 Trim i might be buying.

to4-60-1.JPG

It has 0.60 A/R comp and either 0.84 or 0.63 A/R exhaust housing.

How Good will this run on a internally stock RB25DET with adj cam gears. Dont worry about injectors and fuel pump etc coz they r getting done 2.

Hi INASNT, very quickly .........

At 1.1 bar of boost, it is going to be doing 96,400 shaft rpm and producing 55 lbs of air per minute. I can't tell you the efficiency as it has no calibrations on the islands, but it looks to be around 65% to 70 %, which is good. That's enough air for around 550 bhp.

It has good efficient airflow of 25 lbs per minute using 69,600 rpm at 0.5 bar. Efficiency drops off sharply over 105,500 rpm and using more than 1.5 bar of boost would be waste of time. It is going to need careful tuning and matching of the exhaust turbine and housing to stay above the surge limit.

In summary, a pretty good compressor to use with an RB25DET provided it has at least forged pistons and preferably forged rods as well.

Hope that helps

INASNT - compressor maps arent too difficult to read - airflow along the bottom and bar up the side. thing to remeber is that at sea level you already have 1 bar - so subtract 1.0 from the vertical axis and you will have boost pressure.

With turbine housing size, one theory (the one I am trying:)) is to use a smaller housing with large wastegate - this will build the boost earlier, and keep you away from the surge limit. I am using a 0.61 A/R ratio turbine housing on the 3037 I am fitting - I hope it will be done and tuned in about 2-3 weeks (the wait is killing me) so I will let you know how it goes.

That turbo should be sweet with 0.8 to 1.0 bar on stock internals (and a good tune) - after that start thinking about a head gasket to drop the compression ratio

More info on the turbo.

Exhaust housing has a T03 flange, although A/R .84 housing is to suit an external wastegate. The A/R .63 housing is internally gated which is also available if required.

It is a bush-bearing Garrett T03 turbo which actually has a 360 degree competition (screwed-down) thrust bearing also (forgot to mention).

But it is a design from the 70's and a twin ball bearing would be more efficient and spool up quicker wouldnt it??

damn i dont know what to do!!!

If the bearing was from the 70s, I would definately replace it with a new one before fitting it:p But seriously, bush bearings today are catching up with ball bearings. Subaru use them on the WRX.

If you are not sure - go with what you really want, not what is cheapest - remeber, the glow of a cheaper unit will wear off quickly - the added cost of a better unit will be forgotten when you are driving. I would definately go the smaller A/R ratio as it will make boost quicker, just make sure the internal gate is a good size, which it should be if its designed for use with that turbo. If you are buying it from a shop, ask if they have fitted them to anybody elses car, and if you can get in contact with them to find out how it went?

sidewaymambo - any details on joe's turbo, performance wise and what turbine AR did he use? - that map is just so nice and fat!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
