GT3040R with .82 A/R on RB25 with mild Apexi hydraulic cams, big AFM, 550 injectors, stock throttle body arrangement, big FMIC, Power FC, fuel pump, rod bolts, 1.8 mm head gasket. What sort of flywheel BHP will this turbo efficiently support on cast iron HKS remote wastegate manifold? At the moment I am running 460 BHP at flywheel on Apexi cast iron single turbo, remote wastegate manifold with IHI RX-6 turbo (old Apexi RB25 kit). Will this be good for a bit more top end air fleo, yet still spool OK? Cheers.

This BHP thing of you Pomps always confused me.

Whats that in RWHP or RWKW :unsure:

You can get approx 300rwkw (give or take) from the GT30.

It all depends on the spec mate.

If you search around you'll find there are many many many variants and you gotta be careful in your selection

i estimate hes runing approx 247.45rwkw at the moment :D

think SK mentioned about 60kw lost in the drivetrain.. so thats 80HP ..

460BHP -80hp = 380rwhp

380rwhp is 283 rwkw ..

the 0.82 is a garret version, but yeah guess they have different compressor wheel trims etc

bhp is different to hp

1kw = approx 1.357bhp = 1.34hp :unsure: nothing important though

About 280 KW at the back wheels.

i thought that generally 1lb of flow equals about 10 horsies...so if it flows about 65lbs then that would equate to roughly 650 hp... so wouldnt that be off in saying its rated at 550 but flows 65lbs? Or is it the compressor can flow that much, but the exhaust side restricts to that 550hp rating? Im guessing the latter question answer my original one?

well just by looking at the extra 50hp rating with the only thing changing is the exhaust housing to the 1.06 AR

so yes the compressor is stated to flow 65lbs, regardless of the rear housing, but power will be affected by flow restrictions in the exhaust housing.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
