Hi

I'm interested in the "Disco Potato" for my Rb25. I have a few questions I hope U guys out there can help me with.

1st Question

Firstly, my understanding is that this turbo is actually smaller than the stock Rb25 turbo and will need some sort of adapter plate to fit on to my exhaust manifold because the flange is too small. I will also have to buy a adapter kit so the water lines and oil lines match up. Is this true ??

2nd Question.

is the HKS GT-RS and the Garret GT-RS the same thing ????

3rd Question (based on the fact the HKS GT-RS and Garrett GT-RS is the same thing)

http://image-cache.skylinesaustralia.com/f...-1141284798.jpg.

This graph shows a GT-RS pulling 300KW. I would GUESS based on the fact it's off a Dyno that is at the wheels. The garrett website http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...RS_739548_1.htm rate this turbo at 250 -360 horsepower. Again I'm GUESSINGthis is flywheel rather than rear wheel horsepower.

Looking at what garrett,s rating (360 Hp) that's approx 265kw then factor in 25% drive train loss gives about 200rwkw. There's dyno results posted here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...pic=55845&st=72 to back up that the GTRS pulled 300 Kw, I just don't understand how this could be based on the rating given by garrett.

I know that Dyno's vary in accuracy but 100 RWKW ???

your confused.

the HKS GT-RS is around 500-550hp rating.

the Garrett Disco is a GT 2860RS... not a Garrett GT-RS as you have coined it >_<

umm

the hks gt-rs is rated at 400hp (dont know where you got 500 from)

mate has one on his rb25det s2 r33 making 350rwhp @ 16psi

the 52 trim garrett 2871 runs the same wheels and housing a/r as the gtrs in t2 flanged form. I think there is a bit of a difference between the t2 and t3 flanged versions of the gtrs, most obvious being the bypass slots in the compressor inlet which are supposedly to eliminate surge.

Thanks for all the info guys. I always thought the Disco Potato and the HKS GTRS were the samething.

It's amazing that thizzle is getting 300 kw (rear wheels I suppose) from a huffer only rated at 400ps. Are manufacturer's conservative on their ratings ?? DO they do their ratings based on 1 bar maybe ??? ( thizzle's running 1.38).

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
