looks like most people prefer the T3/T4 setup, and the advice from most people recommanded it that 220kw will able to reach.

However T04E might lag, but it will be fun to drive around town at low boost, and when you want it, nail it and the power come..may be I'm wrong..

will open for suggestion..

I myself would prefer a t3/t4 setup but when u weigh the value of a t3/t4 from cgc $2000 & at the same time a HKS GT2530 brand new would cost just the same so ppl look at other alt.

You can sometime see on for sale for $1000+

The reason why its so popular, its just so simple, take it out for them 2 trim all the bits they need, add larger compressor wheels etc & pop it stright back in.

Dont think of lag as drivable but think of your power band. Mainly Fast street cars aim towards Mid-Range torque over Top end.

eg.

You have till 7000RPM till REDLINE & if a turbo start spooling at 5000rpm, you have 2000rpm left for power then change of gear. How fast do you think it will reach to 5000rpm on lag?....quite long i imagine.

You have 5000cc more then i do (i own a r32) hence you would have less lag time compaired to a RB20

All depends on what you aiming for 180rwkw....you dont even need 2 think of a turbo since the r33 turbo can do 180rwkw before running out of puff

Don't laugh at me guys, initially I was planning a three stage upgrade towards to 300rwkw..I mean it..

stage one: upgrade the exhaust system, FMIC (P-FC already in place)

Stage two: upgrade the stock turbo with T04E, HKS ex manifold, wastegate, dump pipe run at 14 psi (if fuel lean out, the stage three comes in)

Stage three: upgrade stock injectors with 550cc item, fuel pump, forgie pistons, gasket..

The most concern for me is bring the lag down to minimun, and I will see if a switchable "side exhaust" helps..

I don't know how relistic can go, but open for suggestion..

It is possible to change the exhaust housing on the turbo & getting a smaller one for less lag.

300rwkw....that would be great, just make sure you take it one step at a time & also include injectors & fuel pump on stage two of your work, this will keep your engine from leaning out & destroying the engine.

but just 2 let u know, you might need alot more work then that to reach 300rwkw.

esp. internal work to the engine to cope with it, you got to remember nissan never designed the rb20/25 to make 300kw but its do-able.

Hey that housing isnt big at all!

a .63 housing is great infact it doesnt even sound like a T4 turbine housing.

Use the .70 comp and .63 ex and i dont think there will be much lag at all........taken those figures..

Should spool up good

Im happy with my t3/4 I get full boost 3000rpm in 2nd gear :uh-huh:

Adam you gobbler you have an exhaust A/R of 1.06 my whole turbo could fit in your ex housing thats why you should bring it down to a .86

Sidewaymambo ex housing is only a baby .63 which is whay i mentioned it could spool not so late as yours

No1 can really tell you when its gonna spool up.

I dont think it would be that big of a problem.

50(compressor)/63(turbine) is one of the smallest t04e ive ever come accross & it would give or take spool on my RB20 ill say around 3500 or 3000 give or take.

60(compressor)/70(turbine), would be just a size down (few mm difference) from the above & you have RB25 so you got more cubic (5000cc) then i do so im giving an est guess of 3500rpm but pretty sure it will be under 4000 rpm but we will find out in the end :)

we can always port the head & get bigger cams 2 bring down alittle bit of lag :D

Hopefully my figures are right if so it would be sweet.

Almost forgot, your HKS manifold has a Split-Pulse Flange so it will help the turbo spool alot quicker also.

Compressor A/R means SHIT regarding lag. the bigger the more power it can produce (i beleive as im still learning how 2 read compression maps on turbos abit better)

What determins lag is the exhaust housing. The bigger the exhaust housing the more lag you gonna have.

as macka stated:

Adam you gobbler you have an exhaust A/R of 1.06 my whole turbo could fit in your ex housing thats why you should bring it down to a .86

sidewaymambo: yours is .70 which should be good for your application.

anything around or above .90 should be fitted on a rotor, is what i beleive.

Joe.

Correct me if im wrong.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
