I have both turbos. The t04z on 25psi in an rb25 and and -5 on an rb26 28psi. Both standard head and cams. The -5 are more useable in 2 gear and it feels it has more torque from 4500-7000rpm. But the z from 5000rpm is alto more aggressive. I can't comment on gtrs but even getting the -5 set up properly on the gtr is abit of a pain.

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.

you talking about the 11 blade gtx style t04z wheel that every man and his dog is throwing into 3582's?

That's the one.66mm I think. Mate with a Barra has one with a bigger flapper and making 350 on 14 pounds. Response is nothing to get excited about for a 35, will see how it behaves with a valve spring change and more boost.

Dual Ball Bearing Garrett To4Z . 700-750HP flow potential.

Compressor wheel diameter is 84mm exd. / 66.7mm ind. (63trim) Compressor housing is .70 A/R has a 4" inlet and 2.5" outlet slip on connection.

T4 Turbine housing divided A/R .84 entry, all with standard 3" V-band discharge.

(707160-5) dash 5's stack up nicely against that compressor map maxing out at virtually the same numbers.

Lower half of the -5 Map looks better as it moves more air at a given pressure which helps with response but tapers off a bit earlier. 28b0d4b57b9b71c0e351d4118c7acc08.jpg

Don't know mate, I just went for a drive in a few, liked it, bolted one up and thrash the fk out of it and drive it daily.

I am sure there are better set ups out there but I love the power delivery and the fact I drive around under boost all day in traffic and am just a gear change away from shits and giggles.

Once this one goes I might bolt up an old Borg Warner s300 -66, apparently they're good value with similar characteristics.

70% vs 65% efficiency at the top end makes some difference.

It actually looks like it's better down low as well. Look at the 1.5 pressure ratio and 20lb/min for the z vs 10lb/min for the twins.

*Regarding the to4z map if that's what it is. it seems a bit hard to read but it looks like it says 65% efficiency at the top island of the compressor map, which also requires more pressure to get there.

Just doesn't seem as energy efficient is all I was saying.

but not bad it actually looks really good for an old school single, I like em.

*regarding the 10lb's/min -5 vs T04z 20lb's/min which is essentially 7psi boost and neither have cracked the wastegate at that pressure and they are both identical as the dash 5's are used as twins so it's 10lbs of air from each -5 totaling 20lbs/min.

Look at the popular wastegate pressure ratio of 2bar which is (1bar boost)

it shows the -5's out flowing the T04z by 10lbs/min.

I have had the pleasure of going in a fully built stroked ca18 180sx imported from Japan which had one on it and it was mega still one of the loudest n quickest cars I'd been in.

Have a look at the 70lb/min vs the 35lb/min.

At the 20lb/min to10lb/m vs 10lb/min to 5lb/min mark, there's definitely more "area" on the z.

Running 1 bar on either of turbos is a waste of time really.

Edited by s2d4

Your doubling the the potential lbs/min flow of the -5 Map aren't you?

So when I see 35lbs it's theoretically 70lbs.

Was just pointing out similarities in flow vs pressure ratios.

Edited by mr skidz

In theory, then in practise it's not when you've got two turbos pushing against each other and twin restrictions on the motor.

Like I said, for those flow values to be anywhere near true in practise you'll need twin cooler, twin plenum to fully separate everything.

question is a little off topic, GTRS bolt up on sr20's reason im asking is I have a set I want to sell :P to the sr20 guys

GTR'S are old, they will make 500kw but to do it right cost more than going single and your not getting anywhere near as a good result!

Off topic but the HKS T04Z is a good looking turbo even now. Far better than my ugly little EFR.

Yes. But I will wait for someone to say "oh they are old tech" without even quantifying (or perhaps understanding) what that means.

it is though... but it's solid tech that works better than any modern tech that runs in pairs.

I don't think this turbo in twin form will perform well on any engine unless upwards of 3500cc as you are not able to cheat and run more boost to make the claimed 850-900 hp because it runs out of compressor at 2bar boost. On a 2.6 with let's say big cams revving to 8500rpm the -5 should make the same power as them at around 1.8 bar. A single turbo on the other hand like a t04z, gtx4088 or even gt4294r I think you are able to cheat because if you don't have massive cams or oversize valves to improve the Ve of the engine( which are essential to make the gtrs work well in an rb26/28/30) you can just run more boost to make the power.

That's the one.66mm I think. Mate with a Barra has one with a bigger flapper and making 350 on 14 pounds. Response is nothing to get excited about for a 35, will see how it behaves with a valve spring change and more boost.

Yeh.its a little turbine driving a big comp wheel.\

My mate has a 3582 on a vl in a 1.06 housing with that wheel. Makes 450rwkw through a loose converter on 30psi. Ran over 140mph.\

But his gate is plumbed back into restrictive 3 inch exhaust aswell.

On 30psi it made no more boost..unplugged gate and went straight to 40psi and maxed fuel pumps out coming on

Another has gone 145mph on 30-32psi with gates vented to atmo with that turbo

The comp wheels a decent thing..needs a gt37 turbine ot similiar. Peformanz turbos in perth selll a turbo with that comp wheel in a 3582 core and gt37 turbine..

cheers

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
