hi guys looking at buying a turbo but im starting to think that it may be a little to big for my power goals. i am looking for about 230kw, just a nice street car.i have a front mount, pod, full 3 inch zhorst, fuel pump, boost controller......... will be getting either an emange or remap(not sure yet) and maybe injectors.the question is this turbo way to big for my power goals? oh by the way i drive an 1996 r33 sII gtst.any advise would be great, thanks guys

Garrett T04E Turbo.

The turbo has a .50 a/r comp cover and 1.32 a/r externally waste gated turbine housing 6 bolt outlet with T3/T4 flange.

Compressor wheel has a 53.5mm inducer and 82.5mm exducer with 29mm tip hight (5mm higher than the to4b wheels).

Has a oil cooled bearing housing and a large trim turbine wheel.

GEEZ!! thats crazy u wont get boost till like 6000rpm!! u really dont want nethin bigger than .82 rear housing for the street. .62 would b the best option for response and power and should hit full boost at 3600 ish. look at a garrett GT30 ext gate turbo it is rated a 500hp and should make 420 at the rears or if u want to step up u could get a GT35 rated at 600hp and that will make 500hp at the wheels with the boost turned rite up lol

He said he only want 230kw not 300kw and an externally gated turbo requires a new manifold and 100 other things.

Imo you have two reliable options....

1. Get a decent quality highflow <1000

2. Get a hks gtr-s >2000

And be careful most of those "t04e's" are old and crapped out or not genuine afterall.

    • 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?
