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???

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
