hey all, as some of the tassy boys will know, im building up my hybrid 25/30DET as we speak. Now i am stumped as to what turbo to use. i am aiming for 300+rwkw and the car needs to be streetable. it prob wont be my every day car but will be driven on the road often.

so a big laggy sucker isnt really ideal for me but in saying that i dont want a turbo thats too small and has no punch.

Responsivness is prefered but would like to have a bit of punch on boost.

The engine specs are as follows:

rb30 bottom end

knife edged stock crank

shot peened standard rods with arp bolts

wisco 20 thou over pistons

acl race series bearings all rond

ported and polished rb25det head

stock cam shafts

new/upgraded springs and valves etc

after market ecu (unsure what one yet)

bosch 040

500cc injectors

z32 afm

forward facing plenum (unsure what one yet)

fmic

3.5 inch turbo back exhaust or there abouts

Now i will be chucking the turbo on a high mount manifold with an external gate and hope to run about 18 psi.

would like to hear what turbo setup you guys recomend for me as my knowledge in turbo selection is lacking lol.

cheers james

I dont think you can go wrong with anything around the GT35 range (either a GT3540 or something slightly smaller, GT3240), they will easily give you the power you want (rated around 600-700HP) and beyond and being a 3L this gives you the displacement to spool it up quickly.

Quick edit: Just noticed you have 500cc injectors, are they actually 500cc or nismo 555cc injectors? Either way, if you want to go much over 300, say 330ish, id probably recommend 740cc injectors just so you arent running the 500cc on such a high duty cycle.

to4z... bit big maybe???

i assume displacement should be quite close to 3 liters??

600x300x75 we will say for now about fmic (havnt purchased yet)

exhaust and fmic will be 2 of last things i get as i want the piping to have clear path so will install motor etc first.

you do know that the T04Z comes in a range of rear housing.

you would easily make good power and responds with the 63T A/R0.61 on a 3L

sorry this means not heaps to me... please elaborate in dummy language lol

what is the .61 actually a measurement of??

before this thread i was leaning toward a gt3540 and seems maybe still the way to go??

am i right inassuming .81 is a bit big if response is desired???

excuse my ignorance guys. never had to look into bigger than standard turbos before

Nope.One is a 3040 the other a 3540

3040 is about a 600hp turbo

3540 up to about 750hp depending on housings.

Wouldnt go smaller than an .82 on a RB30

so the one with the .61 is actually a gt3050 not a 3540???

and the one with .82 is the 3540???

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
