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

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.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
