That is a massive turbo, if your going something that big you should either know what you are doing or be taking the advice of a GOOD mechanic.

No offense intended mate, but this sort of question is not one that needs to be asked... You are looking at a turbo capable of over 1000HP.. Which in turn will be a $xx000 engine setup. Note both numbers are missing, meaning I dare not assume it will be under 20 or even 30.

Just to put things into perspective, a 35R can run a 10. So the question is, what do you hope to do with a GT47?

Don't take on a setup like this unless you have $50,000 to spend. This $50k can be spent two ways:

1. Really good setup with all the correct parts and advice and you'll do 9's all day. You won't crack 8's because you need the chassis set up properly and the cost doubles

2. Buy all the cheap shit parts around to get it to work and spend $50k fixing your setup for every time it breaks

take a look at the mercury motorsport nitto, it has a GT47 on a built 2.7l RB26, can only imagine its a LOT more work to get it performing on a 25.

There is no reason why it wont go on a RB25, but for it to work effeciently is a whole different story

Yup thats what I was going to say, talk to mercury motorsport. I believe they use nos to reduce the lag, plus a fully designed setup with lots of experience in big power cars.

No reducing the lag on a GT4788. But if anyone would know about bolting a stupidly big turbo onto a RB trent would be the guy to talk too.

47 on a 25 .. goose.

my 26/30 will be running a gt42 and i reckon that a tad ovakill, couldnt imagine it with a 47 and an even smaller engine lol

Oh come come now - you can't really call him a goose given some of your recent posts! :whistling:

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
