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]

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
