hi, im unsure of whaty turbo would be good for me, after somthing abit bigger than a t04z..

i have a turbo now but its way too big so im gona sell it, my aim is to run consistent mid 9 second passes, im unsure if a to4z will make much more than 450rwkw on race fuel, i know they do it on pump, what would be my other options..??

cheers

Garrett GT42R .... FTW

Link for Garrett GT42R http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...R_774595_8.html

Thats just one option of the turbo ... there are a ton of different sizes and stuff you can get. But That would be my choice on a drag car.

Borg warner 472 is what you want. cheaper than Garret stuff and far far more reliable check out bullseye racing in the states, and also paradise racing for pricing. If you were to stay with garret 4094 and 4294 arent really that good of a turbo, your best bet would be 4202R but you will struggle launching it with a manual.

Whats wrong with the GT4094R? And do you mean Borg Warner S372? I'm not sure there is a S472 and the S372 is a completely nuts piece of kit - will make as much power as the highest power turbos mentioned here.

Sorry your right typo there, I meant the s471. A S372 with titanium wheel would be absolute killer also as both have 71-72mm comp wheels but the 3 series is t4 flange, a little easier to package over the t6 stuff.

The 4294 wheel trims are kinda arkward, they are sized down to make the jump from say a t04Z to the next size a little easier to take for the point of view of lag but if you check out the comp maps to my eyes they are sacraficing alot of mid and top end performance and you have to remember when you are talking a turbo this big thats really the name of the game.

Cheers

Run what ive just got...

HKS T51R SPL BB....specially modified with 108mm compressor...good for 1100hp and 8's !!

In an S chassis do the right thing and run an auto (even though i hate them) they are cheaper, easier to launch , softer on the driveline and much more consistent.

Successful drag racers are not the ones that go fast...but ones that can race within a bee's d1ck of their dial in everytime.

The HKS is a great turbo, but at what cost? I can buy two borg's with titanium wheels, race covers that are polished, and specify my rear Ar for the price I was quoted on one t51, and it wasnt the spec you have mentioned.

Also forgot to mention the new borg S380, with 80mm comp wheel, 108mm inducer, titanium wheels, race cover, good for 1000hp, last time I was quoted $1999USD. Now that would be a good turbo, and I have to agree that with these big turbo's and in a drag racing application you should seriously ditch the manual.

atm i have a ITS GT80, this is good for 8 second passes aswell i was going to sell it but am totally unsure now, i have considered going auto but still am concerned about the lag..

transbrake and a shot of gas will have you leaving the line harder than any manual.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
