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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
