My mate has got a T78 on his R33 (currently for sale). He has around 500rwhp. Not sure when it comes on but being a large turbo its a little laggy but the top end is awesome. He has had a heavy duty clutch fitted so driveability is fine and the box is holding up so far. Not sure on fuel consumption but very reasonable from what i have heard.

Anybody out there fitted a T78 or T88 Turbo? Thinking about it for an upgrade and would like to know about bhp, box & clutch upgrade, lag, general driveabliity, fuel consumption and such.  Let the good times roll......

Not really enouth info concerning your current set up (stock internals/mods etc), type of car, power aim, how much MONEY you have budgeted (in any case take a figure you think will cover it and double it).

get twin low mounts, gtss's, 2530s or N1s

the only big turbo car ive been is a gts-t with a t67(large exhaust housing)..

that car had stock internals and pulled 340rwkw on about 1.2bar... anyway it had cams a/f int plenum, flowed head etc came on full boost about 4500 but had useful boost at around 4000...

the car wasnt that good for everyday useable power.. lots of top end.

Dual sequential turbo's are by far, the smarter choice in terms of drivability and top end performance.

[offtopic] Yes, but why would you rid the RB26 of its true-twin set up (by true-twin I mean non-sequential, i.e. both turbos spool and produce +pressure (boost) at the same time) setup in favour of a sequential twin setup? Sequential systems are good in theory, but by having the huffers sharing the same exhaust manifold, they suffer from the "gate" (for lack of a better word) that switches between the small and large huffers being jammed or stuck, rendering the sequential setup partially useless..Examples are FD series RX-7s and JZA80 series Supras [/offtopic]

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
