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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
