hi everyone , i'm buying a new turbo for my rb25 on the aim for 260 - 300rwk , i have all the supporting mods to handle this sort of power but i'm getting mixed opinions on what is best for my application . My aim is for as much torque as low as possible , budget isn't so much an issue as i'd rather save and get the right one than rush into purchase and not be happy . any help would be great . cheers

p.s yes i read the dyno thread but i'm looking for more in depth input :)

t67 10cm, without doubt. Td06l2 way too small.

Just finished a 33 4 door with 6boost manifold, blitz gate and custom T67 (t3 flange) and it made 320rwkw @ 18psi, super responsive and lots of broad torque. (im on the dyno ATM so no graphs til later)

oooh nice! , i know it's a big ask but is there any chance you could put up a graph to show when it comes on full boost and where it makes all its torque? :D it'd be very much appreciated

Out of interest do we mean T67 as in the Mitsubishi based Trust turbo or a Garrett thing built around the T04R/Z compressor and the T350 (AKA Stage "5") turbine ?

By the sounds of things its a Mitsy if the turbine housing size is measured in cm .

Much talked about and difficult thing to make everyone happy . 260 to 300 is also a wide range with an RB25 because some turbos will just make a potential 260 with no hope of seeing 300 . This 260 and up area is getting towards the upper ranges of what a mechanically std 25 wants to flow and any non turbo breathing mods like porting and cams makes the ask easier .

Realistically you probably need to go for a ride in a few sensibly modified cars to see what a responsive 260 Kw feels like because obviously a so called responsive 300+ isn't going to feel the same . Your call but I'd be aiming for a performance result rather than a number if response is an issue - and it is .

One thing you see all the time is people fitting big turbos and being bitterly disappointed because the lack of response or turbine lag if you like kills the fun for them . If you don't have any example you like to go by I suggest you start a little conservatively with turbos because they tend to achieve good results over a wider part of the engines rev range you live in . Maybe the question people should be asking themselves with turbo sizing is when do I want the boost and torque to start and go from there .

If money isn't an issue you could start looking at HKS units like the GTRS or the GT2835 Pro S because these are responsive things in their respective power ranges even on mechanically standard engines . The compressor housings are both port shrouded (the nearest Garrett equivalents aren't) so their conservatively sized turbine housings allow for response without compressor surge . The HKS turbine housings bolt up and with the GTRS so do std or aftermarket RB25 dump pipes .

I have spoken to GCG about getting Garrett T3 flanged GT30 IW turbine housings machined to take the cropped GT30 turbine in some GT3071R/GT2835 cartridges but that's still up in the air .

Also the full turbine sized Garrett GT3071R comes with a large boss T04E compressor housing but its not port shrouded .

There is a possibility that results were not fantastic when using the Garrett GT3071R and the smallest available (0.63 A/R) turbine housing and some of this may have been because of compressor surge or being right on the edge of it .

HKS uses the exact same comp wheel as Garrett does but their custom made (hint) housing does have it .

Once you start into the GT3076R range your not going to get instant turbo response because of the size of the turbine and compressor . Using the mid or 52 trim compressor size and again the 0.63 A/R turbine housing is probably as good as one of these turbos is going to get "response wise" but I don't think that combination has been tried yet .

I don't know much about the Trust spec Mitsubishi turbos other than it sounds like they did special compressor and turbine housings for Mitsy cartridges much like HKS does with Garrett cartridges . Some people feel that Mitsy makes more responsive turbos for their size than Garrett and occasionally put it down to development gained from lots of small/medium OE turbo production ie Evos and Subarus .

Off the top of my head the only Garrett GT BB OE apps I can think of are some S15s and the XR6s .

Anyway see if you can go for a spin in a few other cars and you be the judge .

The rb25 will support mid 300's unopened all day everyday, there are however a handful that fall over valve spring wise.

Port shrouded 3071's are available through ATP turbo's ...just click on the option when ordering.....might be a cheaper option than the HKS variant.

yeah that's pretty much what i was asking (which turbo has the best torque spread etc ) the overall power output i couldn't give a stuff about. small issue with living in tassie is not many people have this sort of power and the ones that do have de-rego'd their car or live too far away etc . i get what you mean about being conservative with turbo choice which is why the td06-l2 was one of my options , i've heard people have made good numbers on the dyno with these ( sr20 mainly , haven't seen any rb series actually tuned with one) , but at the same time i remember a couple years ago asking trent about t67 for drift and vaguely he was telling me they wree almost too torquey having ~200rwk by 4krpm? on an un-opened rb25 . getting along to the 3071/6 and the 3037 , so many people have these and are claiming they are the perfect combo for rb25 with good all round power/response?. I'll be using an external gate btw , from what i've seen they seem to be more reliable/more effective at controlling boost :(

The rb25 will support mid 300's unopened all day everyday, there are however a handful that fall over valve spring wise.

:merli:

imho if money isn't an issue go a twin scroll 3076 with external gate and 6boost manifold

that or what trent said :P

money isn't an issue , i'd rather save for that extra 6 months to get the right thing first time round :D and i'm thinking of using a hks cast manifold? they seem good from what i've heard?

beau: who has the rb24 with a 3071 strapped on it?

thanks everyone for your replies i am noting it all down :)

I'd be a bit careful with turbo choice in tassie. It is not a flat state, and it also has more wet days than other area's. I think you would be happier with a turbo that doesn't come on too hard down low. I had a hiflow that made 250rwkw, but came on hard too low down and too often. In the wet and with a brass clutch, I had real trouble controlling it. Even simple things like taking off from a slightly uphill set of lights was wheel spin every time, no choice and no option. I went for another setup when I got booked for it, it was cheaper to do this than get fined all the time. Now my power is much smoother/progressive and much much more controllable. I have a GT3076 WG with the HKS cast manifold like you mentioned, and very happy with the set up.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.

      Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.

      A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.

      You mean you will regret it for drifting duties? I don't quite follow.
