Brentt, i have replied to your PM.

I have the same goals for my build and had chosen to Garrett GT3076R-IW (GT30R) 0.83A/R. With my engine specs i expect to get about 300-330rwkw@20psi, with the response equivalent to that of a std hi-flow on a std rb25 engine.

Not sure if this will be too tail happy, till the car is running, but the other option would be a GT35R.

im currently building an RB26 race spec motor. Its my daily driver but will also be my circuit car.

Im currently leaning towards a GT35R in the .86 rear trim for the best compromise between response and power.

I ran a GT35R with a 1.06AR on my rx7 race car and the response was phenomenal and the power was substantial.. (400hp @ 16psi) not to mention the torque.

Being a smaller motor i think the .86 or .82 whatever the option was might be the better pick.

300rwkw is easily achievable with this turbo without having to run too much boost

I had a chance to drive 3 cars with RB30DETT. Their turbo are twin TD06, T04Z and twin T517Z.

The T04z was laggy and wouldn't' be appropriate for the track.

Try T518Z or T517Z with 10cm housing

My pick would be a 60-1 comp with a small stge3 t3 turbine with an .82 a/r rear. Use a decent merge style small runner exhaust manifold with something like 260 tomei cams and spend some time setting them up. This can make an easy 400rwhp with response. You can even try a single throttle body style inlet manifold.

Something around the Trust TD07 / T78 range would be killer for response on a 30DET.

Although a K5 Blitz seems to work well on 2J and RB26.

If I was looking at garrett trim turbo's Id look at the HKS equivalent. No point in pouiring all this money into a car only to have a generic turbo slapped on.

*wheezy awaits flamage :P

What other things like std/not std gearbox ratios and tyres are you intending to use .

These things make a difference when looking into turbos because some combinations are going to need more low down torque than others .

If you want it to be a mountain of torque from low revs and max out at around 500+ you could think along the lines of a GT3076R with the 0.82 or 1.06 turbine housing .

If 600 is the ask the maybe a GT3582R .

Personally I wouldn't bother with Garretts version of the T04Z , if I wanted power in that region I'd go straight to their GT4088R which is a twin scroll turbocharger probably in at least the 0.95 A/R turbine housing .

      RB25DET Series 1 & Series 2 Gearbox Identification

      I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.

      If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
