what set up is everyone using ?
Twins at the moment, would probably stick with them but if they do go then I am still 50:50 wether to get another pair or go GT3540.
I havn\'t been in a single tubbie rx so cant compare yet :)
T70 single. for me. i quite like it, surprising how little lag there is to be honest i thought it was going to be well bad. but i think it really is minimal.
I\'m running stock twins with custom pipe work...... yet to get it dyno\'d to see the improvements though!!!
Jono
Stock twins for me too, but would like to get a smallish single in there for pretty much the same power, good response and a very much simplified setup.
T78-29D...Lovely setup.
To4R because I got a good deal on the kit :P Goes pretty well, small exh housing, a little lag and it\'s rebuildable.
Stock twins, but looking to get a GT35R eventually. Everything else on the car is being prepared for this.
Turbo as in avatar,custom built with "special" wheels,and being prepared to be spooled to the max.:evillaugh
You only list one T04 model. Break that down to T04E, S, R and Z.

twins at the mow but looking at gt4088 but not sure !
Twins for me till i get to feel what a single is, happy with how the twins feel so till i know better am gonna stick with em.
Cant miss what you dont know :)
T88 -33d for me , quite laggy, but makes good power at fairly low boost.
i just need a down pipe and il have it on lol

Ok so it isn\'t a 3rd gen but... I\'ve just had a nice GT4088 installed on the FC, original Garrett turbo so good quality, bloody big and cheap (good old sterling : USD exchange rate!)

Might be a bit laggy
Got a TD07 in mine, not too laggy and makes good power.
gt45 with a large half bridge for me

i couldnt be bothered lol plus it only gave 10 options, so i thought id just put other... state at the bottom.
Garrett T04Z for me, two years of running this turbo with no probs :)
I have a TD06 20g - small to medium size turbo. Good for 390bhp@fly, not that laggy. Want a bigger one now!
4 people running uprated twins eh...please state :)
Im running TD06, BNR S3 and Border Twins...;)

i wouldnt bother, tried one of those last year. if i remember righly it is a GT7800/4300. as you can imagine it was a little laggy, but suprisingly good considering. i found it didnt really produce the power that i wanted, now they say it is good for 5000bhp but i found that on a twin rotor i could only get 2644 RWHP out of it.
i have now invested in the sister model GT 7800/4400, which has a slightly larger hotside, so you would expect more lag. but it is a ball bearing turbo so it seems to spool really quickly. once i turn my car off you can hear the turbo carry on spinning for about 25 minutes at last count as it slows down, my missuses gets a bit angry at that (or perhaps it was because it sucked in both the dogs as i pulled away last month) so i am not aloud to take it out very often.
yet to have a power run done so cant tell you current figures but i think it will aid me in my english channel jump. am using the full length of the M20 (and continuing road) to get the speed up on the way to the ramp down in dover. if i am successful then i will be giving it a few tweaks (upping the boost to 1400psi) so that i can make nice/easy/crisp jump-journey to the ring.
P.s dont worry i bought some new dogs. I, LIKE (in borat voice)
hehe:Laugh
Turbonetics T70. 1.15 hotside.
Bit laggy but nice delivery, will probably switch to a smaller housing soon...

KS RF420\'s fully converted non-seq
Nothing exciting just stock twin stock for me.
Holset HE1 ... cheap at £120 for an as new turbo :) and it\'s big. Will see how it goes but a few people have had success with them in the US

seems as someones done it before me i can ask a few questions
*will i need a dust mask when climbing up the exhaust to do cleaning and checks
*if i need to get rid of a body would there be any recognisable bits if i fed it in on full boost
*is v-power good enough?

You up and running with the turbo yet?competition for smiler at rotorstock?:wiggle

*is v-power good enough?
as for the dust mask, i used to use the ones from halfords but found that they didnt seem to work to well, there was generally so much carbon build up that within seconds it just came through the mask. however i live near a firestation and one day i was passing by and they were doing a boot sale. i picked up one of there fully enclosed suits and breathing apparatous for £15.00, would you believe it.
if you go down this root i would just advise you to be careful where you get the breathing air bottles refilled/replaced. i stole a bottle from a hospital once after my missuses had had our baby (she only took a couple of breaths of it, so i assumed there would be plenty left). next time i went up the exhaust to do the customery check i was lost up there for HOURS. was crazy what you can find in there, i met that rabbit from alice and wonderland and everything (bit of a wierd bloke really), when i eventually came out after running out of air i had a banging headache. so make sure you get the right air as apparently there are different types.
i wouldnt condone getting rid of bodys (unless you were going to be arrested for accidently causing their premiture death). but put it this way i couldnt find anytrace of my dogs, it was just the little bit of fur on the turbine nut that gave it away. however talk to the local cremitoriam perhaps they could subsidise your turbo conversion by helping them speed up there process. (sure you could scrape some dust off you exhaust for them)
V-power seems good but doesnt last long, actually no fuel does. it tends to be quite thirsty on boost. when i last calculated it, it seemed to do something like 12 GPM (gallons per mile) that was boosting a bit though
glad i could be of some help
Quote from: RixioIs it up and running now then John??
pretty much yeah its been up and running for a couple weeks, just need it to be properly tuned now :)
Quote from: silverrexmanYou up and running with the turbo yet?competition for smiler at rotorstock?:wiggle
engine was picked up on sat and is yet to be built and the car is still in the bodyshop so it\'ll be touch and go for rotorstock.
as for competition for smiler, i dont really stand a chance as the car prob will be near the same power but diff setup to his in regards to drag racing and mine still has a stock box to his new 6speed dog, also i am def not the pilot he is!
think ill be letting him loose in it though to see what it really can do later in the year:Thumbs-up
Running a HKS TA45 with large street port, full boost just after 4K, had it for 2 years and eats up Ferrari\'s! May go bigger this year, so may be up for sale lol!! :D
Garret T04Z with 1.32 AR hotside. Fed by half bridge, no lag to speak of.:burnout

not bad huh ;)
im definately a fan of those results John_Hudson.....
.....could be an option for me down the line!

Stock twins in mine but boost uprated to 0.9 bar, happy with this but could up it a bit more as I have WI. But the car keeps up with my R32 Skyline owning friend who has 350 bhp lol

Quote from: RixioWhat other mods & fueling are you running John?
Apexi GT FMIC, walbro 255l/h pump, 850\'s all around FSE RR FPR apexi intake and PFC, trust 80mm DP, mongoose 3" straight system KS rf420 non-seq modded twins and greddy profec b spec 2 controller
I did have a koyo rad but it split so had to go back to stock, but im still seeing temps of 85-87 so its no biggie..
im told the KS can take alot more boost than most, in the region of 1.4 before they start spaccing out due to shaft size so thats always nice to know, Its just a case of porting if i want to see more power..
I think thats about it, im getting tired and im pretty sure its time for bed soon!! :Typing
Running stock twins at the moment but plan after rebuild to go witth 99 spec.
Turbonetics 60-1
Turbo Technics high flow twins.
T51 rules.....................:D
i have garrett gt35/40r ball bearing turbo because i wanted more power but at the same time as little lag as poss, was making 421hp 368lbft but looking forward to mapping after new engine and porting will spool up even quicker
Bb turbo\'s :rollin :mmmm :Giggle :cool
Rixio, if you dont mind me asking, how much were those Border twins? I\'m looking into uprated twins myself...
Cheers
Jon
I have got a T04R . Came with the car but will let you know power when i get it on the rollers after mapping soon
Since my "car eats solenoids shock" moment, I\'m using half the standard turbos! Not that it matters much since my "RX7 fails MOT on emissions shock" moment, I won\'t even be using my half-twin-turbo set up for a while!
Actually, not really that much of a shock on either count, tbh...

Or, bigger ports :)
Which has worked rather nicely.

TD06SH 25G running stock engine pulling out 419 fwhp and 355@wheels. fast spool up and sounds awesome!!!
T78 at the moment, power does really hit you when the boost is on full chat and pretty good spool up for a turbo of this size...gives just over 500fwhp ;)
I\'m running standard twins at the moment with every intention of going gt3540
I put stock twins but they are \'99 spec ones - Running about 0.89 bar, 343 ATF, 308lbs/ft :)
