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


Recommended Posts

i'm glad this thread got revived.

I'm going to look at a 33 GTR running a t04z with a 0.70 housing on the weekend and had a few questions I'm hoping someone can shed some light on:

1. The car is making 364kw on e85 at 24psi. Does that sound right? I would have thought these turbos make 450kw on e85 comfortably... .perhaps the rear housing is really holding it back??

2, From the dyno the guy sent me, full boost comes on around 5k.... seems like a really laggy setup.... power cuve is not linear at all (to be expected)

3. How does this compare to a modern Precession 6262?? Seems to be more laggy with less power!

I'm really just trying to guage if its the actual turbo holding the power back (360kw in my mind is low for this turbo) or if there is an issue with the setup/motor.

Cheers

Firstly, is it a stock engine, has it got cams etc. Will make a difference. Is the turbo t3 or t4 split, does make a difference. .84 rears will make 400+ on 98 so a 0.7 should be there about on e85.

Need to see the supporting mods too like dump, exhaust, intake etc. Also injectors may be maxing out so limits things. Boost wise, it should be higher on e85 if the other things can cope.

So you need to find out that info.

Dyno should show power ramping from 3800ish with a 0.7 rear and within about 15% of its max as the graph starts to flatten. But by that time things happen very quickly so you probably won't even care. :D

6262 are very good.

Yeah I'd say it's the small rear holding it back. I had .84 rear at 26psi making 450rkw.

Hey mate. Did you run restrictor s in you oil feed? What size line and what restrictor. Cheers.

yes, stock engine

sale add doesnt mention cams so going to assume stock

again add does not metion split so going to assume the one that is the cheapest haha

intanke, dump, exhaust, injectors are all up to scratch to make the power.

i think he hasnt wont the boost up either due to the fuel pump or he's afraid to pop the stock motor....

would it be worth spending the extra $3k to switch to a 6262 and tune? seems like its a better turbo in every respect (lag + power)

I love the zed. So you are talking to the wrong person. If the car is good and engine is healthy just drive it as is. If later on you want to change the turbo, its just a bolt on and a tune I suppose. Don't stress too much just make sure the engine is up to scratch and get a pre-purchase inspection from a reputable Gtr mechanic.

-4 braided line with 1mm restrictor. Jun pump, pressure at top of stock gauge when into it, and zero oil/turbo issues. Did track/strip road and 30k kms. Sounds like something isn't right with yours.

Great. Thanks for the info mate. Exactly the info I was looking for. Was it a garrett or hks? Cheers. Edited by XGTRX

Has it been tuned yet, XGTRX?

No not yet. Had a couple of niggly issues so just want to sort them out before the full tune. A bit of timing scatter after the engine freshen up, so looking at options.

Your 83/74 looks awesome BTW.

Ah right :(.

Did you do anything funky with the engine freshen up? Raise compression?

It would be good to overlay the -5's and a T04Z if the same bloke is tuning it.

The 8374 should go alright :).

I know its an old thread but I have a question with anyone that are or were running TO4Zs.

I am finding mine a bit oil blowy with a 1mm restrictor in a -4 oil feed line. Anyone have any issues running a 0.8mm or less restrictor. I am still on a run in tune with a 5k limiter and pushing 5+ bar engine oil pressure, so thinking might have to reduce the flow even more seeing that the zeds don't like anymore than 3 bar in their feed line. Any wisdom would be much appreciated.

Where's it blowing oil from?

Nah just a freshen up. Comp test showed one cylinder a bit down so changed the head gasket as it failed near cylinder 2-3. Otherwise engine was perfect. While at it i changed the rings and bearings, not that i needed to.

I think a bad batch of fuel did it to me about 6 months ago as after a fill up and a thrashing I could hear a bit of det at low rpm. Maybe the timing was also scattering a bit up top, because I have a bit of an issue now, don't know.

As for the turbo being blowy, just getting some oil in the bov piping, so front seal I assume. I was told the -4 feed would be ok without a restrictor, then spoke to rotormaster an they said 1mm restrictor minimum because i assume my engine will make at least 7 bar at full noise. Most of the garretts need about 7psi minimum and 40 psi max or they blow oil through the seals.

Seemed to have settled it down with the 1mm restrictor but may need to go 0.8mm as still getting a bit of a puff of oil, but that may be just a bit of oil left in the piping. One of the guys I know had to run a -3 with a 0.8 restrictor to solve his issues.

They were the issues anyway.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
