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

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
