Thanks No Toyota's in the list makes me a sad panda -
Actually, going off what ARTZ said about econoboxes... How cool would a late model Galant V6 turbo be with a couple of bigger bolt on turbos and a plug in ECU!!@!!!@!
-
I agree, look at how little success APS had with their bolt on turbine hosuing for GT30's sure lots of people grabed them early on, but they failed to live up to what everyone was hoping they would be (re: didnt make the power they should have) How old is the HKS GT-RS kit now? and that would be the lastest big name turbo kit for RB25s, Trust/Greddy havent changed their kits in what 10 years or more. These engines are not raced in big numbers in high end motorsport, unlike a small block Ford or Chev, which will always have lots of development thrown at them Short of aftermarket heads for RB's as you said everything has been done, there just isnt much left in them, Parts are still rediculously expensive, I mean who pays $1000 for a pair of basic cams???? when a big name race cam for a Chev/Ford/Mopar will set you back less than $200, same with Pistons/Rods gaskets etc Unless the prices or hardware drops dramaticly to fall in like with other engines than RB/JZ/4G/VG blah blah blah will be left to old men with too much money, much like old porsches take Conrods for example $600 will buy you 6 china H-beams, by $400 will buy you 8 China H-beams for a v8...how does that work??? Simple, the Japanese Companies Overcharge like crazy so it makes slightly less expensive but not as good stuff appealing Type in RB25 into Ebay, and look at how many China knock offs of everything there is....people know it is rubbish...but they still buy it because it is cool to have a done up import Kinda rambling, here but my car when done will have about 2 Japanese parts on it, and they will either have come with the car or were laying in the shed.. So hence me saying I hope hypergear continue to sell turbos, same with Kando/Kinugawa because they are selling products line-ball with what people should be paying for a halfway decent turbo So Stao, keep at it, but I would like to see the Turbine hosuing fixed...maybe have a look at getting your own cast and work more on the Generic side of things...not everyone has an RB25

Is there a list of models for the pss9s I can't find one anywhere -
Lean and retard will bring a turbo on sooner The rather toasty exhaust gasses spin the turbine harder than the cooler egts a rich mix will give

He is talking a HKS GT-RS kit which I will say, that starting from sctrach isnt that expensive say 1500 for the SS1, 200odd for a dump pipe, 300 for an intake pipe, new water oil lines etc 150-200 (not a nessesity) and it it will fit 100% the first time everytime. So yes its more expensive by say $1000, but to some it is worth it. Hypergear to me, seem to change turbo designs more than I change clothes, so it is really hard to compare to setups as everytime I jump into the thread there is a new version of an ATR43G3 etc So while development is good, what about the poor buggers who bough a G3 a couple of years ago This isnt a rant btw, but it really seems as though Hypergear are using teh end user as Beta testers. Builds a new turbo, does a few dynos runs then releases them into the market. What I would really love to see is some serious R&D done one just 1 or 2 turbos, so that they fit perfect and dont burn aircon drains, and get them to hold boost without weird little screw adjusters welded to the turbine hosuing. For a small outfit they are doing very well.....to the RB25 guys. But to be a serious contender in the turbo market some issues need to be addressed (see above) It would be grreat to have an Aussie turbo manufacturer as the #1 choice for people with skylines rather than seemingly "I cant afford a Garrett/BW/Trust turbo so I'll get a HG" crowd I would seriously look at a HG turbo for my new motor if they weren't based around RB25s only But at this stage there are other options out there that are known to perform better for less money for my application. TL;DR I support Hypergear, but issues need to change
-
Much more responsive..by about 1000rpm but yes, get the SS1 to hold 20psi and it will be up on my old setup by 30odd killer wasps, but mine would murder the SS1 through the midrange I would like to see a SS0.5 though
-
only reason to go E85 now is stupid boost on small turbo's well that is what I keep telling myself

But, just for intrests sake typical GT-RS RB25 Result http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/55845-rb25-turbo-upgrade-all-dyno-results/page__view__findpost__p__6053830

I tend to agree with Simon here. compared to my old highflow setup I was seeing ~230rwkws at 6200rpm and 20psi but was making peak torque at 3300rpm and fullboost around 2800rpm in 4th I cant find the sheet to scan unfortunatly so you will have to take my word for it but to me that is what a GT082R graph should look like but without the power up top

[Closed] Borg Warner Efr Series Turbos
zebra replied to Lithium's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Yes.... ...but Will it choke a 3L at 7000rpm? Will have to attempt to find some results, but I doubt I will find anything for either the 7064 or the 5557 on anything bigger than an SR/4G/EJ etc edit...Found a guy with twin 5557s going onto a 3.4L JZ -

Yeah PT I know do, trying to stay away from anything bigger than a 3076, which is making it tricky -

Bit of a thread dig. any word on the street about the reliability issues being resolved yet. And Im looking at the EFR7064, but is it possible to be had in an open T4 turbine hosuing, Im looking at using a cast manifold that has an open T4 flange like this ufortunately there is no way of welding a divider into the collector
