I feared that might be the case. Though Garrett say suits 1.4-3 litre engines...assuming they're not talking about Group B rally cars lol...scaling that up, a pair of G25s in lightest trim could be good for a 26/30?

Are you willing to go balls deep with custom manifolds, head work and piping etc Birdy?

Even then still realize you are talking about a potential 1100hp setup so its going to be laggy lol

I actually had in my mind the sizes of the larger one (660) as the size of the smaller. Still, the 550 is the same size compressor/turbine as the -5, so barring the slight reduction in inertia from the webbing of the turbine disc being removed lag would be similar. Airflow would be greater but this could prove a challange to manage with restricted pipework etc.

Now, if the release a G20-440 or something like that.. that has -5 flow in a smaller size... that'll be a good candidate.

-5 lag on RB30 I can definitely deal with, particularly if it's going to be punching well above its weight. It's not unbearable on a 26. That would fill the middle ground that make people want -10s but scared off by the lag.

Yeah for sure Disco..

 

There's already plenty of turbos in that size range that we run on our RB's... things like 2510, 2530, 2860, 2867, 2871 etc etc etc... yes they chock a little but they all perform well on low level RB engines.

 

As Disco said^ if these things flow the numbers Garrett are claiming, they'll be in the billet 3076 range on an rb25..

 

 

1st results in I've seen/heard of [emoji106]IMG-20180222-WA0012.thumb.jpg.02280bcd8cf4811760fdc56f9eed05ab.jpg  

 

  Just read the comments, it's the G-25 550 on a forged 2L engine on 99ron and using the .72 a/r rear housing.

This is looking very promising. Imaging what the G-25 660 on an RB25 with the same or next size up housing might be able to achieve and than add e85 to the equation [emoji848]

We might see GTX3076 high boost type power with response like a HKS Gt-Rs...

Here's the Facebook link -

 

EDIT: f**k....just noticed it's in flywheel HP [emoji17]

 

Interesting - thanks for that .

I think we can safely say that either of these G25s could do a lot better than a GTRS on an RB25 particularly in the upper turbine housing sizes . The $64 question is what happens to turbo response with big housings on G25s .

I know its early days but the T25 or V band mount option is going to be a deal breaker for some . At least EFR offers a T3 mount plus integral waste gate on their B2 (I think it is) frame  turbos . I did search to see what was available in 3" V band to T3 adapters - but they won't be a compact arrangement . Having stainless steel means at least fabricating changes is a bit easier .

Given the release time on the G series Garrett is taking a long time to get them out there - and even longer to release info on the slightly larger versions supposedly in the pipe . I'm hanging out to see what the next turbine size up is capable of - and I'm guessing it won't have to be very much larger to be just what many roadies want for a street RB25 . EFR chose 58mm for their medium sized B1 units , if Garrett does something similar then they should be able to achieve GT30-GT35 type performance with hopefully better turbo response than either of these .

Time will tell .

I feel like I'm missing something, why are you guys implying this is a disappointing result?  I doubt that's on kill, it's not on E85 and it's not given anything away to the GTX3071R (which is a very proven performer on RB25s) but picked a lot up in spool - despite using the bigger housing, which would be more suited to the 660 compressor on a 2litre.

Where has it gone wrong?

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
