more like too old and dated for 500hp.

If you want 500hp (now, one assumes thats @ the motor when you make no mention of rear wheels), then the good ole GT30 fits that.

If you mean 500rwhp, then thats GT35

To the engine.

Im getting a whole single turbo with the T04s set up for real cheap and I was wondering what its capabilities

If you mean the old HKS RB26 kit , split pulse single low cast manifold , the turbo should be a "TA"45S so the next size up from T04B/E/S .

A .

I don't have the ta45s I have the so called T4s "T04s" .Just wondering If i should sell it ,basicly new it was just reconditioned and now im thinking its not enough for me so i'm thinking about fitting a gt4088r down there.If it will fit?

For 500hp @ the motor, why on earth are you getting a turbo capable of around the 700hp mark @ the motor?

GT35 like i said will do 500hp. Best to get a turbo suited, rather than something not thats only going to add lag for no extra gain towards your goal

I assume its a HKS T04S. I had some stats on it as I used to have a HKS T04R and done a heap of research.

Its only a 500 or 550hp rated turbo and a GTR I drove with a HKS T04S turbo was massive responsive and still made 300kw atw. One of the best GTR's for power delivery I have driven... :P.

Will try and find the old info I have saved. I assume you have a HKS T04S kit?

To be sure if you can post pics of your turbo (front/back/side/ID Tag) I should be able to identify it for you - well at least which series anyway .

There is a lot of variation in what gets called "T04S" or "T04R" .

Normally T04"S" means the 3" or ~ 76mm 7/14 blade T04S series compressor and T04S 0.70 A/R comp housing on the front of a garden variety T4 cartridge .

T04R as in what HKS used to sell as a T04R turbo just had the "R" or 84mm 63T BCI-8D compressor wheel fited to a T04S turbocharger . I think HKS may have been cropping the T04 P trim turbine at one stage but thats nothing any reasonable turbo mob couldn't do .

I used to have a couple of pics of the HKS spec TA45S and if I can find them I'll post them .

I can't figure out how to put the pics but if you give me your email I could then.The guy that sold me the turbo just had it rebuild so its like new now and he said it was supposedly upgraded with a bigger wheel....and spooling full boost in the 5k range which i though pretty hight for a bb t04s..I guess i'll sell it and buy a t04r instead.

lol dont get a t04r. old technology

get a t04z!!!! (thats if the t04s isnt good enough)

The one I drove on a GTR was FULL BOOST 4000rpm and Flew like the clappers with massive midrange

first you need to decide what final power figure you want, and what you using it for? Drags, street, circuit etc etc...

I need a wall to belt my head against.

5000rpm??? for only 500hp? Madness.

Maybe you've missed it the two times before

GT35

Not T04R, not T04S, not even T04Z - GT35!

Ball bearing T04S ? That would have to be either a large frame P trim/60-1 or a T04Z . How many compressor blades ?

A .

It has 8 blades ,I didnt receive it yet ,its on its way and for the gt35r its out of my price range for the T4 version.

I'm looking for 550 to 600 hp at the fly ,going to be street /drag once in a while.Dont mind a turbo that has a little lag like ex:boosting at 4500 to 5000.

For 8 bladed , what I call 8/16 because they have 8 full height a 8 splitter blades , I think you must mean th old T04B series . There were actually a few 6/12 balded wheels in the B series - the largestbeing the T04B H trim .

Pics when it turns up , A .

So is the T04B rated to more power then the T04s?I have pics i just dont know how to post them...

No the other way round I think . All the T04B wheels I've seen are ~ 70mm OD or 2.75" where the T04S ones were ~ 76mm or about 3" .

My lists show T04B 6/12 (39 to 70 trims) and 8/16 bladed (39 to 63 trims) , plus T04S (TB41 ?) as 7/14 bladed (34 to 58 trim) .

A lot of variation here so I need ID tag numbers and some pics of the turbo preferably with the housings off to know for sure .

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
