hey guys im currently doing a new turbo setup on my gtr changing from the 685awhp twin td06 setup to either a single to4z or 4088r i would still like to make a tad over 600 at the wheels but need to speak to anyone running a 4088r i have a few people over in perth running the to4z but would like to see if the 4088r is more responsive and makes more power and what rpm the power falls of as we will rev it to 9200. i will list the spec and any info would be great the new setup will be with a 6 boost mani with large dump pipe

jun 2.7

280 cams

full jun built head

currently running twin td06 to 9900rpm

will run 9200 on the new setup just need to no if the 4088r like rpm as it seams the t04z might fall off

There is a chap on some Skyline forums (might be on this one) called Rockabilly who runs a GT4094R and is running ~700hp on a GT4094R - the GT40xxR turbos on RBs is something I have been trying for ages to get good info on. There are plenty of EVOs out there running >600whp on them though, with impressively good response - the T04Z/T67BB/whatever people call them are "So pre-2005" these days haha.

Vid of FullRace showing off one of their GT40R setups.

Of the three you mention I'd give the GT4094R a big miss , basically a GT4088R with the GT4294R's compressor wheel and not surprisingly a poor combination with the 78T GT40 turbine .

Personally I think the GT4088R is a better unit mainly because it has more current wheel designs which is a bonus .

The T04Z's turbine (T04 P trim) probably dates back to the 1960's so a lot of engineering water has passed under the bridge since then .

There is a lot of variation in what gets called "T04Z" mainly with the turbine housing . A/R sizes all over the place and single or twin entry turbine housings in big T4 or smaller T3/twin T4 Euro flange sizes . I wouldn't even bother contemplating a T04Z with a single scroll turbine housing unless it was one of the three HKS ones .

You should really E mail Geoff Raicer at FullRace Motorsports in the US because he really likes and has had great success from GT4088R's and always says that if the engine/manifolds/turbo are properly set up they are not especially laggy .

Aside from just the wheel designs in this turbo both are significantly different trim size wise and that seems to make all the difference .

Garrett usually use the 84 trim size with their GT UHP turbines ie GT30/GT35 and the proyptype GT4088R did as well , at some stage they settled on a 78 trim size for the GT4088R and it also is available on the diesel GT37xxR turbos .

The compressor wheel design I believe was a first for Garrett and to me looks like typical GT blade form but with 7/14 blades instead of 6/12 and in a 52 trim size rather than the usual 56 trim size .

The T04R compressor wheel in the "T04Z" turbo is an older T series design and being 63 trim is dated thinking IMO compared to later petrol engine designs and even diesel engine designs .

Recently people have been looking at Holset and BW diesel turbos , often they use big wheels in smaller trims sizes than Garrett usually does with GT BB turbos but the downside at times is their massive housings .

Anyway speak to Geoff because he's played with RB26's and GT4088R's so he should be able to give you an idea of what to expect .

Cheers A .

Isn't the 94mm compressor used in the GT4094R a lesser trim to the GT4294R, possibly making it a bit less of a "bad combination"? Something I find interesting is that the compressor maps I have seen for the GT4088R imply that it falls over quite a bit when you start going over PR ~2.5 or so yet there are cars making really good power on 30-40psi with them. Am I missing something?

I've trawelled through and for dyno plots of Supras (our closest equivalent that DO have plots for them) running GT40R and so far haven't seen any which stand over equivalent setups running GT3582Rs, whether its because no one has pushed them to their capabilities or if they just can't flow sufficiently to suit a big motor. Maybe someone has and needs to share their results still :D

Yes that is true , the trim sizes are 52 and 56 .

Geoff had a post in Supraforums I think and he was doing comparisons of power outputs and turbine housing size on GT4088R's , I believe his findings were that using larger turbine housings was the way to male the power without high (40 psi) boost pressure .

I'm curious to know what sort of response is being asked for from this stretched RB27 .

Cheers A .

ive never had a 4088 so i cant compare but my garrett t04z 1.00 twin scroll 20psi from 3500 its great all the way to redline to make 450rwkw.. i dont see the big problem with it. this is on a 26/30 272 degree cams

When i was chatting to creatd ms, they showed me a single setup using the 4088 on an rb26 which was built for a good street car so its not very laggy at all and makes a nice 400kw atw.

Was considering this setup but for police hassle reasons im sticking to twins.

If you watch that HKS r34 gtr on youtube that runs a 2.8litre stroker, it seems to need alot of revs to get going....but top end made tsuchya scream.

i run a 4094r, rb26/30 jun stage one cams thats 264-in/272-ex with 9.7mm lift.spool rods and cp flat top pistons. acl bearings ,n1 oil/water pumps, car made 710bhp @ the fly with wastegate leak, put a second spring on and that sorted it, not dynoed it yet but will be doing in feb. car runs a .96 rear and makes 1bar by 3200rpm, makes full boost by 4000,wether it be 1.9 bar, or we have been as high as 2.7bar now. i think this turbo is awesome, and to compare it, i have have a rb26 with hks 25/30,s and an rb30 with a gt35r 1.06 rear, the 4094 spools faster for its size than the 35r and comes in only about 300rpm later. its an awesome turbo..you need to drive a 26/30 with one b4 its condenmed its awesome. bernie uk

p.s 710 @ the fly was @ 6800rpm.

currently running twin td06 to 9900rpm

will run 9200 on the new setup just need to no if the 4088r like rpm as it seams the t04z might fall off

ahhh dannny, finally seeing the light and ditching the old td06's :)

when ur car went on the dyno at motorvation both me and nattalotto looked at each other and said "we will keep our z's"

his made 627rwhp on dd and mine 575rwhp on dd... both had full boost in 4th gear by 4000rpm and mine was still making well over 550rwhp at 8500 and not dropping fast at all

id expect ur car to make easily over 650awhubber love power with awsome response with a z, no idea about the 4088r, everyone says they should be better but noone has a result

ps. blowing ur diff right infront of us was classic, i pissed myself laughing :) sorry

yer sean pulled 3 degree of timing out of it the week b4 motorvation so it was down in power. yer im hoping for 650 at the hub with the setup thinking 2.7 280cams and asplit pulse setup should come on a little earlier and a tad more power the simons i hope but if i can get 650 at 1.8bar full boost 4500 i will be happy and only have to rev it to 9k instead of choking the shit out of it like i am atm.

blowing which car both ended blowing haha s15 twisted the tail shaft and gtr snapped halfshafts

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
