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 .

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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
