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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
