Nice work, got a dyno plot for it? When is it full boost by? Should be fun!

The only one I am aware of is the FP Black, which always was an awesome "stock appearing" turbo - still waiting to see how results pan out for them, and if they apply the BB technology to any other units. I got the impression from noises made about the development from these that the turbine wheel in the BB FP Black isn't exactly the same as the old one, and I'm pretty sure thats TD05 based. Will be worth watching, good to see turbo tech getting a bit of action over the last twelve months

They haven't? These are drag chassis built to look like R35s, running no factory parts from an R35 bar one which may end up running as VR38 built by an American company, if I understand correctly. In terms of building drag cars with Japanese power however, you guys have a bit to be proud of lately

^ That is pretty much what I said when I first read over the GTX series compressor maps, the only one I held any hope for was the GTX3071R on the premise that it should be able to perform similar to the GT3076R in most cases with a little more transient response from less inertia, though as it turns out from testimonies from people who have drive GT and GTX equivalents, the response actually does reduce a bit meaning even that may be a bit of a waste of time. On the flip side, I have heard of some really impressive power results from GTX3582Rs when more exotic fuels than run of the mill gasoline are used - so if one was going to head down that path, they could show some worth there. I've still not seen any results from a GTX30-series turbo under real duress, but maybe they could still have surprises up their sleeves.

I actually don't see that many threads on what you said in bold on here, if anything I've seen more people moving up from high flows and GT2x based turbos to full GT30s. I personally moved to a .82 from a .63 56T GT3076R and never looked back - I found it incredibly easy to sell off too, there was a few people who had dibs on it (if I ever sold it) after being in or driving the car so I'm not sure which combination you are referring to as there are few people here running GT35Rs or bigger with stock engines.

Are you going to tune for E85? Give it a hearty dose of boost with that and it should be alright with a good tune

Highest I am aware of was somewhere in the 650-700kw area from memory, the motor ended up failing due to an oil starvation issue so not block strength - I don't believe it was filled or anything.

Haha funny, a mate of mine was obsessed with RB20s but ended up falling in love with Sierra's - but when he sold his R32 to move his focus to the Ford, the Sierra started coming up with ingenious ways of making him part with his money and he ended up selling that and pining for his old Skyline. Hope this one treats you a bit better

Haha, ironically the turbo is probably too small for a grumpy 3.4

What hotside is the GT3582R going to be? And what manifold etc will you be running? I honestly don't have an issue with what you are doing, and would consider doing it myself if you weren't needing the "ultimate" balance in the time being. You will need to change a few odd things in between, but if you enter it with your eyes open to the fact you'll be living with quite a lot of lag etc then all good. I've been in an R33 GTS25t running a stock motor with a .82a/r GT3582R, and it was laggy but liveable - and a ridiculous amount of fun to hoon around with If you were not intending on upgrading the motor in the near future (or ever) then I'd say different, but doing research and buying a turbo, getting it to work purely because the turbo you will end up with doesn't perfectly suit the engine setup you will be running in the interim seems silly to me unless you have money to burn. You will lose money on that turbo, so its basically burning the stuff.

It will work, and make more power than the stock turbo - just it won't be as nice as it could be.

The EFR6258 and EFR6758 are T25 flange, or would you make up a manifold for it?

HKS GT2535 are a different turbo though, and not bad. He is talking about a GT2540..

By the sounds of it its too late, but I'd buy a brand new Hypergear bolt on turbo setup before buying a used HKS GT2540.... not a fan of them, myself.

Why would you do it?? Maybe not the same kettle of fish, but my standard NA EL Fairmont feels like its almost got too much power for its chassis

It'd be interesting to know EGT/AFR variance across cylinders... probably not realistic in this diagnosis? I've seen some pretty funky rpm signal stuff when an ignitor was playing up.

Never heard one of its bigger brothers doing the sam?

The Syclone Typhoon housing is 8cm TD06/T3

What if someone tried one of these? http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FP&Product_Code=49179-04100&Category_Code= That'd probably give things a bit of a shake up - especially if FP were extra nice and put one of their 68HTA cold sides onto one

Awesome, looking forward to hearing how they both go - whenever the new units become available! Mr Sub - ahh blargh, the nature of my work means that if I post during the day sometimes I engage autism mode. My bad

I'm not sure what their target is with it, but that gap was never going to be made up by turbo choice.

Is there any likelyhood the EFR9180 will be replaced and tried out or has that been abandoned now that the old faithful Garrett based unit saved the day?

Betting it will mainly be the 6boost manifold Not against hearing the sound of an RB running one, though!

How does the dyno plot look? If you look at your datalogs, how does the rpm signal look?
