should have no problems if you run a tunable ECU, new injectors , dyno time and move the AFM..... i'd say 4000-4500 rpm for full boost with the larger exhaust...

do it right rather than just bolting on a big turbo as you will more than likely lean out the engine then you are looking for a new one.

maybe add some heat sheild under the bonnet above the turbo as your bonnet is going to get very hot.. HEHEHEH looking good though

Got any specs for it? Exhaust A/R? What model T04 is it? T04E? looks to be an older style garrett turbo, looking at the compressor outlet.

Anyways, Going by looking at it....... and Judging by the T4 footprint and the size of the comp cover/exhaust housing, That thing is going to be a lag monster, as that is a VERY large exhaust housing for a little 2 ltr.

Ive just purchased a Trust TD06 20G 8cm, and I thought that would be a tad laggy, but from everything I can read Im looking at maybe 4000 - 4200 full boost. And that's a shitload larger than a TD06 mate.

If your car is "Drift style", why go for such a large huffer? Why not go for something really responsive with good power delivery? Is it A genuine garrett or an ebay job? The manifold sure looks EBAY spec. And why mount the AFM directly on the front of the turbo?

If you want to retain some form of street drivability, then I suggest maybe a smaller turbo. Or at least a smaller exhaust housing. Id be very surprised if that made full boost before 5000-5500.

Mind you, this is just by a visual inspection. Id be after some more data to give more confident advice.

What other mods are done? Injectors/Cams/AFM/management/internals.... cause you'll need the first four if you intend on running some big boost with that thing.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
