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.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
