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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
