Im looking at purchasing a car that has a Garrett GT35R on an RB25DET (also has larger injectors, bigger fuel pump, different reg, diferent ECU)

This a good or bad combination?

Why?

Anyone else running this?

Is it much more laggy than the stock setup?

Thanks :)

All i gotta say is DO NOT get the 1.06 exhaust housing if you want to keep your car streetable.

I agree...dont go as big as the 1.06 exh housing. I have the .82 exh housing and have full boost by about 4500rpm (with cams)

It is a great turbo that comes on with a hell of a rush :)

With other supporting mods like ecu, bigger injectors, fuel pump, FPR etc I have no bad comments on it.

You could go the .63 exh housing for faster spooling...

Cheers

Thanks, but I was not really just after dyno figures.

Well if you looked... you will see its clearly nothing like stock.

How can a 600/700hp turbo behave even remotely like a stock setup.

What is the purpose of the car?

What is your budget?

What power/response are you after?

Sorry, maybe my opening post was badly written.

Ive edited it to make it a bit clearer.

Im not looking at actually doing this to my car, the car Im looking at purchasing already has this done to it.

I was just after opinions from people who had a similar setup and if they thougth it was good or bad (and why).

Hope that makes sense :thumbsup:

Ah... thats a bit different then.

But still, what do YOU wanna do with the car?

Drag work? Track work? Street?

Street.

I will make up my own mind on driveability and such after I have had a drive in it, as doubtless we all have our own preferences here.

But so far Im getting the impression its not a bad combination, as long as the housing isant too big. (but again, that would be somthing that would come out during a test drive I spose).

Hype do you find your car still streetable? Just wondering how much power you are making and have you run your car down the 1/4? Cheers.

Yeah it is streetable...will light the 265's up in second just on acceleration which is a lot of fun. I am very wary about corners though...as hitting boost on a corner might be dangerous until I get used to it :thumbsup:

its putting down 306rwkw but haven't had a chance to run a 1/4. Only got to drive the car for 6 days after the mods installed before leaving back to London for another 4 months...so when I get back will be able to drive it a lot more. :D

For the street it's not a bad combination at all in my experience (short at 6 days so far but I love it) :thumbsup:

Power comes on very strong on boost and is an absolute blast to drive. Do you know what exhaust housing the car you are looking at has?

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
