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


Recommended Posts

my t04z is a split pulse t4 flange - same as the GT3788. The 4088R is a bigger turbo than the T04Z (compressor and turbine) so it will flow more HP, with a tiny bit more lag.

Main reason for doing the swap is simply that the Z is too doughy out of medium tight corners around the track. IE: turns 3/4 @ QR I take at about 80km/hr. 2nd gear == massive tailslide on exit, whilst 3rd gear == LAG all the way out of the corner. Hopefully the new turbo is not only slightly more responsive, but a lot more linear in power delivery. I make 1 bar at 4100rpm with the Z and 24psi at 4500. Thats not too laggy, but as soon as you go below 4000 rpm there is absolutely nothing there. I wouldnt care too much if the 3788 only makes 1 bar at 4000rpm as long as 3800/3900 still had SOMETHING available unlike the Z which comes on like a lightswitch once you get over 4.

The only unfortuante thing is that I wont be able to directly compare how the 2 turbo's would have worked on the track as I'm making some other significant changes to the car at the same time. So wont be able to say if the 3788 is soley responsible for better lap times, but hopefully combined with everything else we are doing it makes a big difference.

Still probably a couple of weeks away from doing the swap - will see how we go.

What else are you doing mate!?!?!!?!?!?

Is it going to be ready for the 11th?

We are going to run high boost on the T04z this time and see what we can times we can squeeze out of it.

Hopefully the new balancer will keep all the belts on the car unlike last times sad effort!

#### Couldnt edit my first abortion of a sentence.

this should make more sense

Oh few bits and pieces. Got some softer suspension going in as the 12kg springs that were on there were way to hard. The car will definitely be there on the 11th even if i have to push the damn thing around the track :D

hopefully catcha then ! Look forward to seeing what you can do with the good ole Z :P

Nice mate,

Looking forward to seeing your new setup in action!

Are you running an RB30? 1bar at 4100rpm isn't that bad :thumbsup:

Strictly speaking the GT4088R isn't really a bigger turbo than the T04Z, the T04Z has a bigger compressor which wants to flow a bit more air - the Supra guys in the States and the UK seem to be increasingly moving from the T04Z to the GT4088R as the fun 700+ish turbo to have, the GT4088R is apparently more useable and generally fun.

Look forward to hearing how the GT3788R treats you, I've never heard of one used on a petrol motor.

sounds like rb26 response.... in 4th gear on a flat road loading up the motor i was getting 1bar around 3700rpm on my stock capacity rb26

Smoking Crack whilst driving helps Cerbera think the boost is coming on sooner.

Also Cerbs .... 139mph last night with a GT35 !!

ANDRA guy got angry and told me to get a chute ..... jeeeeeez never ends !

Good job, I guessed your weight at 2800lb?s and put your run in the Power calculator and it came up at 560hp so the numbers sound right.

Reasonable guide but remember its engine power. Im surprised just how close this has been.

dam id love to see a skyline run 139 at the plex, where are u getting ur E85 from in perth?

silvia even

Edited by ahh 33 s2

Running 1000cc injectors and low rail pressure. It gets to 90%.

Not sure how the pump would fair on higher rail pressure but in theory a lot more injector available.

Yea, the compressors of the 2 turbo's are fairly similar in the scheme of things ->

TO4Z

Inducer 66.7mm

Exducer 84.0mm

Turbine: 74.2mm

4088R

Inducer 63.5mm

Exducer 88.0mm

Turbine: 77.0mm

Doesn't the exducer determine how much air it can flow ? People seem to be getting a bit more HP out of the 4088's than the Z's.. the fin design of the new garrett turbo's is more efficient than the older Z's.

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
