Am thinking bout buying this as the aussie dollar is so high, ATM I have an rb25, i'll have to put in stronger internals so I may go a RB25/30. Should I buy this one or a GT4082.

I know that they are journal bearing but that doesn't really concern me, I like em cause their cheap.

I Think that you misunderstood. I'm not saying that it's all that I can afford. what I meant was that I don't feel that I need to spend $2000 on a turbo when that one would do the trick. I could use the difference for some other part of the build.

Now if it cost very simmilar coin to build a built RB25/30 to a built RB25, I am thinking that the hybrid will get a GT4088 onto boost that little quicker.

So it is not the overall cost of the project that is of concern, it is the cost to benefit of modifications that concerns me.

looking at the comp map for the GT4082 it doesn't seem to have enough flow for 600Hp. could be wrong. is there anyone out there using this turbo getting 600Hp.

I feel that the GT4088 is more suited to 600Hp, but is the 1.06 AR turbine is too big for a RB25.

I assume you are looking at 600hp @ wheels? Because a GT3582R will do 600hp @ crank quite happily. GT4088Rs have been used on RB25s and RB26s with .81a/r rear ends and aren't too laggy for their size, definitely better suited than a T04Z for a RWD turbo street car looking for the 600hp @ wheels power area from what I have seen. If I even lost the plot, its where I'd look.

Cheers lithium, I agree that a GT3582R will do 600hp, However I was thinking bout Journal Bearing for a large single. Mainly due to the fact that the garrett GT Journal series seems to be good value for this power level.

I understand that they maybe laggier than the BB Units, It's a compromise that I can live with.

Are you wanting over or around 600hp @ crank? It will be a lot laggier being that its quite a bit larger size, very cool/impressive looking turbo though. If you are "just" looking for GT35R type power have you considered something along the lines of a Precision SC61, a T3/T04S from ATP, an HX35/40 etc... quite a few cheaper plain bearing options out there.

Thinking about the T04S with the 1.00 divided housing.

Remember reading that the newer GT Journal turbos were more resposive than these with the P trim turbine.

You can buy a large frame ball bearing version of that T4 P/60-1 , its known as a "T4R" and its on ATP's site . Its cartridge is the basis of Garretts T04Z one , just with that 60-1 compressor instead of the Z's one . They were cheap when released for a big frame BB turbo .

Your call but anyone who runs a GT4088R with that single scroll 0.81 A/R turbine housing , which is not a Garrrett housing but aftermarket ie PTE , hates performance and likes lag . A lot of smarts went into Garretts GT4088R and they include a twin scroll turbine housing . I think Precision actually intended that 81 housing to go on an expensive hybrid turbo they created called the GT4067R , that one is basically a GT4088R cartridge but with the T04Z's compressor and a custom backplate . They didn't exactly set the world on fire so you won't see too many .

  • 2 weeks later...

That ones a regular GT3582R with the "Farmer Brown" twin scroll turbine housing . Those housings are hard to find in the US so you won't see buckets of them either .

Note in the pick that the mount flange size is T4 but the inlets are more like T4 Euro which is improperly know as twin scroll T3 . Cubes , remember how you had to port your turbine housing inlet to match your manifold ...

God you people would laugh if you knew the size of the piddly dinosaur turbine thats std for that housing .

As I said rumors claim Garrett will have a twin scroll GT35 1.06 A/R turbine housing available next year but don't hold your breath .

Cheers a .

Just looked at the pic again, yeah that turbine inlet is kinda small.

Ok, so out of these options for 500-600hp.

T04S (1.00AR)

T67 aka T04R (1.00AR)

Gt4088 (1.06AR)

TO4S BB (1.00AR) if significantly better that journal bearing.

Or any other options that maybe more suited at this price range.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
