Yeah tottally agree with you mate, and not forgetting this is a GTS4 so more losses in the drive train compared to a GTS-T and from what I understand The gtrs is still fairly efficent over 18psi.

I want one!!!

not sure how much drivetrain loss there is as it was run in rwd...i read somewhere that drivetrain loss is about 17% so that would make it 252kw at the flywheel?

the cheapest prices on GTRS kits are on ns.com and nengun.com...

I had my car tuned at Dr Drifts as well about a fortnight ago. Full 3" zorst, FMIC, fuel pump, GT2871r @ 16psi it made 183rwkw, no cams. This was all through a bit shift kitted VLT auto though...with a manual I would expect it to be slightly higher

Mines a 400hp spec GT2871r

have you got a dyno sheet? be interesting to see the midrange power....is yours the .64 or .86 exhaust housing?

Cool. so lookign forward to swapping keys at DECA. Forget dyno figures see how they drive back to back...plsu Dr Drifts dyno seems pretty lazy. Roll on DECA :)

would be interesting to see how your set up goes on this dyno...there should be a dyno day at DrDrifts in a few months time......time for a few myths to be busted :O

yeah, i was talkin to sam when he was in adelaide and he used a sorta low reading dyno here and i asked him about it and he said his dyno reads even lower.

and drive trains dont lose a percentage of your total power, they lose a static amount of power (but different amounts in different gears and depends on rim size(weight) etc)

i fitted the 56t version, but slightly bigger front wheel spec (compared to gtrs) gt2871r to my s15. Hoping to get it tuned in the next couple of days. I know its not a rb20 but its still 2l capacity. Im on full boost @ 4000rpm if not earlier. Car keeps pulling all the way. Im hoping for 220rwkw @ 1.2bar

ok people, here it is a HKS GTRS on a RB20 - 215rwkw using 18psi.

i have put the dyno graph in the Rb20 dyno results thread with all my mods...but here it is anyway:

gallery_1619_111_139978.jpg

The blue line is my old R34 GTT highflow turbo, was pretty laggy in comparison...now the difference in response is huge, i now have a 50% increase in power at 110kmh :whistling:

All comments are welcome!

A clear demonstration of the benefits of increasing area under the curve, even if the max figure is not greatly changed in percentage terms.

The thing that is prominent to me is the shape of curve difference between 90-120km/h. Gone from concave (ski jump) section, to convex (hump) section. It looks like a big indicator of response, possibly related to the size of the turbine housing (R34 vs HKS)?

The full load dyno curve might show the difference in power, but I get the impression that power is only a small portion of the story. Transient response is where it's at for me!! Proof is in the driving no doubt.

Looks like it was money well spent.

cheers

Just out of curiousity what causes the power to drop off after 5700 ish rpm, I thought being a bigger a/r then stock it would allow better flow up top. Or is this just more a characteristic of the head/cams etc?

Either way looks like a very nice upgrade over stock.

Hey Dale,

your right, the difference is even more noticable when driving, I think full boost is reached about 4100rpm in 4th gear :O

the R34 housing is visibly bigger than the HKS exhaust housing. If the HKS exhaust housing is .64 then what is the R34 one?

In summary: Definitely money well spent :(

Hey dude, the rpm on the graph was not calibrated so don't go by that, the KM/h are accurate though. So power drops off more like 6400rpm, and i think thats because of the stock cams....maybe someone else can add to this....?

Could be a few things... I would measure manifold pressure before throwing cams etc at it.

Its not only the a/r but also the turbine wheel size that determines exhaust flow ability.

An example of this is the GT30r 1.06 and GT35r .82, the turbine maps both flow roughly the same.

Also.. regarding the power run.... Can I ask why the difference in correction between the two runs. 1.13 vs 2.71. None the less power is roughly the same down low so the different correction values clearly make bugger all difference.

The local turbo dude down here in Adelaide said he's checked a few out and they appear to be a .7 something.

He also mentioned there's no listing of them anywhere so unless he cuts one up its difficult to get an exact measurement. But he was certian they are a .7 something. :(

The R34 turbine housing is the same as the late model VG30 turbine housing.

hey cubes,

i have no idea about the correction values on this dyno, maybe because the ambient temperatures between the 2 runs were quite different it compensates for it? as you can see on the chart, that the old turbo run was done on the 3rd Feb so it was a while back...

Yer either way the off boost power reading is basically the same so nothing to worry about.. Thought I'd ask anyway incase you had some interesting info to share on the correction values. :(

But yes very nice... Now settle it in for a while then ....... 22 maybe squeeze 24psi in to her. :O

the guy from horsepower in a box told me the stock vg30 (R34) housing is around 0.70, so that would most likely explain the comin onto boost heaps later etc

yeah, that would confirm what cubes said, so that explains where most of the lag came from :(

We have a winner. Thw GT-RS . Based on the fact that ppl typically say his dyno reads low, and a quick comparison is...

At 90km/h i have 72rwkws you have 65rwkws.

At 110km/h I have 150rwkws, you have 150rwkws :D

At 130km/h i have 210rwkws, you have 190rwkws.

At 150km/h i have 234rwkws you have 217rwkws.

At 170km/h i have 235rwkws you have 200rwkws.

So allowing for the fact that his dyno reads low, its looks like the GT-RS tracks about the same as 20G but with more down low....and about the same top end (we are running the same boost)

To me its making the same numbers as my setup without all the agro of manifold and gate...so its a bolt on winner :(

The only thing that seems to fly in the face of my results is the way the power falls away. Do you run cam gears? I will look at what mine are set to in the morning...lol oh, thats about now. Time to put down the scotch glass and go to bed ;)

Yep definately looks like this turbo is a winner, i've got half a power run on 18psi with my 56T GT2871/vg30 due to a blown headgasket and a dodgy dyno operator, but my power readings are very similar up to 130kph with the 2.4l and much bigger exhaust housing.

90kph i have 75rwkw

110kph i have 140rwkw

and 130kph where it was shut down i have 212rwkw

doesnt really look like its slowing down at all on my graph and with 15psi and a rb25 turbine housing before the HG went it made 230rwkw.

it will be interesting to see just how much the vg30 turbine housing and 56t comp wheel opens up the top end.

I think you have got the difference in characteristics nailed:

top end flow, at the expense of low end/mid range. Depending on what you actually want the car to do, that ski jump mid range can make it tiresome, if exciting to drive.

I agree, it will be interesting to see the extent of the differences. Bear in mind the first upgrade Interloper was running shared the same spec VG30/R34 housing you want to use.

FWIW, I suspect the 56T cartridge is just a little too large for a responsive match to RB25, let alone an RB20. While the RB20/25 spec turbine housing would keep the results biased towards mid range, the larger A/R R34 unit wouldn't allow the assembly to respond quickly. Keen to see your results though.

cheers

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
