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?

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
