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???

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
