Gt35r Vs Garrett T04z - Discussion (just Post In This Thread To Create A Database)


Recommended Posts

i just brought a new gt35r 1.06 rear from Gcg $1500, ill be using this turbo for my rb2630det..

(hoping to push close to 400rwkw then straight to wsid to crack a 10.99 1/4 mile) lol

Any of the merge collector manifolds are a good bet, just make sure the scavenge for the wg is on a reasonable angle (ie not perpendicular) and a decent size.

Have any of you guys debating between the two of these turbo's considered Borg-Warner's? They have a few that would fit right in between the power ranges of the GT35r and TO4z.

T04z RB25

Some mess about fun on the way back from work,

The video car (S14 SR20 running my old GT35 @ 1.5bar) and myself just mucking about, fueling still quite heavy from the drag event on Saturday (run with a 100mm turn down for drags and 76mm for street (legal rubbish))

As ive said earlier in this post, I have ran both turbo's on the same car with the same setup, everyone likes somthing different, I prefer the power delivery of the T04z.

I was running 1.8bar in those clips.

heard good things about that turb'- would like to see a before and after dyno chart for an engine that swapped a T04Z for one with no other mechanical changes.

yeah, a bullseye s362 would be my pick. the fact they can run over 50psi is good to :D

I wouldn't even consider one unless someone/a few people actually got some tangible results from them in a street/track car which indicated they are even half up to the hype. At least here they are at least as expensive as a Garrett equivalent and nothing I have seen so far indicate they do anything more than at best compare with the Garrett ball bearing. They seem good at high boost levels, but considering most people with RBs tend to lean more towards 1.4-1.6bar tops on street cars thats a complete waste of time.

Bullseye piss me off as they do interesting turbos but then do completely biased comparisons to make their options look better than Garrett ones by using two turbos which are in fact completely incomparable specs and then draw strange conclusions from it. If they just showed things as they were I'd probably be less dubious of them, though perhaps if they did then the turbos wouldn't necessarily seem as viable.

Well a mates R32 GTR just came off the dyno with its .82a/r GT3582R. Its running mild upgrade cams (~260deg I believe), a home made exhaust manifold, and an old GTRLink which was proven to start wrecking the party as the revs and power levels started going up. The crappy old link has a 2.5bar map limit so tuning was finished at 21psi.

The car made 379kw @ wheels on 21psi with full boost reached around 4300rpm, sounds fantastic - hoping to go for a drive in it later on today. The car will be getting a G4 Link and a retune in a couple months time, hopefully that will liven things up a bit :P

None at all that I am aware of, just bolted the cams in - they haven't been spun or anything. In a couple of months time when it gets a decent ECU there will probably be more work put into squeezing every last hp out of it, at this stage it was to get it running and running with respectable power.

Can someone please post up some websites of where i could get a new T04z for a good price that will come relatively quickly..?

Im new at this and don't really know where to shop.. thanks in advance

Have a look in the traders section of this site.

I have GT35 with .82 exhuast on my R32 GTS4, ran 6.8 seconds @ 170kmh on the 1/8th mile, which is 10.4-10.5 sec 1/4 mile, Im pretty close to maxing out the .82 exh at 20psi- 397rwkw ,

a very old quote but im slowly getting through the thread.

not that i dont believe you sky30 but i find it extremely hard to believe your making almost 400kw with a .86 rear......especially only on 20psi. that sounds like something a 5L motor would do.

im running a rb30 gt35r .86 @ 20psi only made 335rwkw. no head work as such but still....

do you have something to back that up? i do hope you prove me wrong because it gives me hope for my setup lol

Nice work - would like to see a plot if you have one?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
