It was.

Linear, quick to fall back into its stride. I would 100000% prefer that than a set of -5's (let alone a set is RS's) on a stock engine. Makes me very curious to see what a 3582R would do on the same setup, being smaller.

That was an old dinosaur garrett Z, open scroll, single gate setup.

The Zs work well don't they.

Don't know what it is with the 35s but they don't seem to come back on as quick in between gear changes, where dyno sheets makes them look better than what they are in my experience.

Its good to see u experienced the Z first hand, dynos tend to lie about a lot of things, but its a fun turbo that's for sure.

Yet to see a GTW result that is half decent.

I would assume twin scroll, billet compressor wheel and ball bearings would make some difference compared to the dirty T04z you tested?

The old T04z dynos never looked any good really. People actually use to look at that and stay with the twins.

Old Z with a newer style billet compressor with a bit of cleaning up comes on 300 or so earlier. Pretty much what a GTW does, yet people always claim more response, like 500 rpm, yet to see it though.

Because most GTR owners run those T04z in single scroll.

To really harness any motor vs. turbo application is to go twin scroll to reduce back pressure on each pulse as well as rely on scavenging.

The more the motor breathes, the more torque and power it will make. Simple combustion engines 101.

I got into this car expecting the worst. Got out of it with a smile on my face.

I'm not shy to express my hate for 2.6L's. They suck. But I'd rather a 2.6L open scroll, dirty old Dinosaur T04Z than a 2.8L with RS's as much as I hate to say it.

Call it what you will. I'm VERY critical of a setup.

Garrett Zs are ball bearing

I wasn't having a go nor do I like RS's.

Was just saying that you would like the gtw more than the old z, dyno or no dyno considering you like the z and that generally has not so nice dyno curve.

Well, the same can be said about the GT vs GTX. And the jury is still out on those as they take a shit load of boost to reap the benefits. Yet to see a gtw impress on an RB in the real world. As piggaz found out the old BB Zs aren't as bad as people make them out to be and their performance aren't really reflected on a 4th gear WOT run on a dyno sheet. As with so many perceived laggy dyno sheets, the real world says different.

If I could draw a comparison.

The low end fell between a -9 and a -5, yet made 450 kW. This was the most basic jurassic park setup there is. A proper twin scroll manifold, twin gates, two scroll ass end housing would have made it better no doubt!

"Twins for response" is a little upsetting when a dinosaur open scroll Z punches hell out of -5's on an equivalent engine.

Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing with you guys.

No idea what started the shit storm.

Pretty sure that's what I was saying.

Fairly certain they didn't used to be and can still be ordered without the ball bearing, no idea how old of a Z we are talking about though.

They were BB from about 10+ years ago, old tech with BB cartridge.

No shit storm, just a discussion, all good. Edited by XGTRX

Don't you have 04z setup in yours?

If so, is it modern 04 or? I'm curious now lol

As much as you say you don't we all know you love the little 2.6

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
