hey guys

i've got a garrett T3/T4 A/R .60 turbo on my rb25

and im just wondering if its laggier than what its meant to be.

STARTS coming on boost at 4500 rpm, to me this seems much laggier than it should be

everything else is more or less stock, apart from 3" exhaust, pod, boost controller etc.

thanks guys

.6 exhaust housing or front cover? why would u put an after market turbo on with a stock ecu, unless ofcourse you want to rebuild your motor in a few months time once u blow it up.

get an after market computer and get it tuned, might help it, but all depends on the size of the exh housing aswell...

.60 front cover, not sure of rear housing

i put it on because it was the turbo that came on the rb25 that i bought.

Honestly get yourself a stock turbo and put it back on. Power difference probably wont be that much different consdering everything else is stock and holding it back. You'll get good response and better midrange, 4500rpm is crap. Then save up for a proper decent turbo.

That's what i would do anyway.

you will need an aftermarket ecu or even just an safc to start unlocking the power and helping to reduce the lag. Then you will find out you might also need a fuel pump, injectors and afm as your stock ones are maxing out

However im guessing the T3/T4 turbo is oldskool and is only plain bearing? (possible only oil cooled) therefore it will be laggy they some somethign newer which is ball bearing

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
