Hey Ppl

Ive just been doing dome searching on upgrading my turbo. I have found plenty on turbos that will fit the standard exhaust manifold but i can't seem to find a turbo that will also fit the standard dump.

Does anyone know of a upgrade turbo which will fit the manifold and dump.

The reason being is that i have just recenetly bought a BOS importing front and dump pipe, this bolts directly to the stadard turbo with a seperate exhaust pipe and wastegate pipe.

Any help would be great. If i can't get a new turbo to fit then i might consider a GCG rebuild and hiflow for $1900. I'm not really that keen on gettin a new dump made up and selling the BOS pipe as i know i will lose money and im not the richest kid on the block.

What do you guys reckon?

hks gt2530, hks gt2530 kai, hks gt-rs, hks 2835, apexi ax53b70 and some of the trust low end td05's i think should all match the stock dump flange. the highflow will also match. if you are looking at turbo change make sure you have fuel pump, injectors, airflow meter, ecu, clutch, fmic, cold air intake kit and some good tyres to get the best "benefit" from the turbo change. also consider lag vs response. hiflow shoud good best response. boost wont make power, airflow does so dont get a turbo and run 25psi just cos you can, get one that will give you good power at 1.3bar or thereabouts. check the "rb25 turbo upgrade" thread stickied at the top of forced induction. should have plently of info for you

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
