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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
