Or just run a Garrett GT4088R which has a real Garrett high temp material spec TS T4 flanged turbine housing . One actually designed for its turbine as well . They really are a better match of wheel to housing on both sides and more thought has gone into the wheel trims too . GT/X35xxR anythings are Garrett bastard bitzer turbos , wrong housings for both wheels and a stupidly large turbine trim . They are a legacy of Garrett trying to have something along the lines of the HKS spec GT3240 without the legal issues back then . You can do better .

A .

Actually I've heard of GT4088R exhaust housings losing integrity under similar conditions as well, and "pound for pound" I reckon are not as good in terms of real world performance on smaller displacement petrol motors than the GT3582Rs. My view of "doing better" would be more like putting a Borg Warner S300SX on there if you were going T4 TS.

until we really start testing this set up its hard to tell.

my personal opinion is it will be a great package in a 1100kg car.. with E85 we are able to make more power with smaller turbo which is great for throtle response and a nice flat power line helping with traction etc

Lol thats overkill for 500-550whp on E85 man - should still see >600whp on a DD if you leaned on it a bit. Just be a bit wary of EGTs on the track/drift, one of the guys here had one on his SR20 S15 running 600-700hp @ hubs on E85 and the divider in the ATP TS housing cracked... not ideal.

Out of interest, was he running e85, what sort of EGT's are you guys seeing with E85.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
