hi all,

i just recently finished building my R33 GTR engine (cp pistons with tomei rods) running standards turbo. and iám cunfused wich turbos are better To4z Hks or t78 33d trust.

can anyone get me some Info about these turbo's and wich one is better 4 me if im thinkin of 400+ KW at the 4 wheels .....

Has anyone actually seen a T04Z on an RB26 with std head?

Good question Roy! Here are some graphs from HKS. The turbo was fitted on a R32 GTR with 272 IN/EX cams.

But I would go the HKS T04Z over the Trust T78!

1 bar at 4,200rpm???? Out of interest how often are ppl abel to match HKS claims of reponse and power...i have never really looked too much at the HKS website

I would have thought that std RB26s struggle to make 1bar at 4,200rpm...or is it a matter of whilst they may not be in full stride at 4,200rpm, they are actually makign that level of boost...they always seem to offer their best power over 4,500rpm when std?!?!?!

Personally I don't use plain bearing turbos, so the T78 wouldn't make it onto my list.

Does anyone have a compressor map for a T04Z?

I had heard (more than once) that the Garrett T04Z and the HKS T04Z are exactly the same.

If you are doing circuit work with that GTR I would be looking at a pair of 2530 Kai, similar power and better response.

:rolleyes: cheers :)

I remember searching somewhere in US sites for Garrett GT42R's and finding some mob that does custom housings for GT42R cartridges to recreate the HKS T51R's (KAI/SPL?) .

Now that some of these monsters (GT40R's and GT42R's) are available with ball bearing cartridges they no doubt will wind up on RB's , but with more conventional mounting flanges than the HKS T51R's with there specific V band mounts to suit their exclu er expensive manifolds .

For what big turbos cost I would not be without the ball bearinga either , the oil shear resistance on big shafts is considerable so bushes ? no way .

Again what Arnie said , cheers A .

Hi peoples , I did some sniffing around and it seems that Garretts GT40R and 42R are similar deal to HKS's T04R's and T51R's .

For the juicy pics search GT40R Pictures and look at the two image search pages .

Then drop down to the 9th site (FresnoRacing etc) for some pics comparing GT40R and T78 .

With a bit of searching there may be a twin entry T3 flange with suitable ARR housing to make it fit . These turbos are getting really big (huge) so maybe twins are not so bad after all . Note the 40R and 42R use threaded bore compressors rather than a nut .

Cheers A .

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • 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 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • 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.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
