I have a pair of T517Z's for sale if you need some decent turbo's. I pushed 400rwkw on a stock 26 with them.

Cheers

Justin

It would be nice to have 400 but it's a rwd BMW so I want to drive it without it being a burden thanks anyway mate

What boost and what fuel???

Yeh would like to know the same thing, also exhaust size? (front pipes and cat back)

23psi, 98 (this was way before e85 was even available.... 2005)

trust dumps and a 3.5" exhaust, unported stock manifolds and trust intake pipework.

The car ran 10.6@138mph on these turbo's. Great on the road, spool was really good for the power.

Cheers

Just buy a friggin T04z imitation, eBay manifold and bang it together.

Stuffing around with all these miss matched rubbish turbos will do your head in and never work.

Atleast if the imitation turbo craps out latter your budget may then extend to buying a genuine Garrett and everything you've fabbed should theoretically fit right up.

It'll cost you under 1k and be done in under a day. As opposed to friggin around with some wacked turbo combo that someone on the Internet said might work okay, but turns out to be shit.

LOL!

Blake just do what Risking said but use a Kando turbo. A T67 on an RB26 should be at least as good as it is on an RB25, if not better.

One of those NZ performance manifolds, a kando, a tial 44.... no more than 1600 in parts and will save you the heartache of all these random ideas.

If you still have that 3040 laying around then use that, theres $800 you dont need to spend. If you need a housing for it:

DONE.

    • 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.
