Ok guys first no flaming and stupid coments.

Now seeming I can't run low mount turbos in my BMW rb26 iv gone topmount twins as iv got some apexi manifolds very cheap only thing is I need to change the flanges to suite whatever turbo I choose. So straight away I need custom dumps and intakes anyway. Now my question Subaru td04l turbos are very cheap but yet a good turbo only really suited to 1.6 to 2.0 motors and my rb26 being a obvious 2.6 would spool these very well now

Pros steel wheeled

Trust bearing

T25 dump patten I'm fairly sure correct me if I'm wrong

Oil and water cooled

Easy flange to weld on

Leaves me with other options of upgrading to other td turbos

Good for 14+ psi

Cons

I have r34 gtr turbos already and picking up a set of r33 gtr turbos next week

Can't think of much else

I would expect around 250 to 280 kw out of these can anyone give me estimated spool times? Also would it be a bad turbo choice just remember I don't want to spend 2g on -5 -7 -9 I'll be running external gate anyway so that gets rid of boost contoll issues td04 has with high boost. Any info will be appreciated

Ive seen Subi TD04s on a 1JZ

was rubbish

I would have a look at some of the smaller kando's

the subi's units mostly have a weird 3 bolt pattern and turbine hosuings that will be too big for a twin application under 3L imo

Yeah been looking at them for the last few days I would get the ones off a ej20 not ej25 not sure if it's different tho I'm not after big power just easy and they won't explode when was the 2j seeing some decent boost?

i be getting some td05/16g or t518z kando units on a rb26..............i got a 2jz going be running twin kando td06's.......td04's are prettty small turbo the 1jz boys max them out pretty quick

I tuned some t517z on stock rb26 today. Alittle laggy but made 331kw. Very fast on the road

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
