woah danger! thats an awesome figure!! and coming from an auto as well!!! good work!!1

did you think the q45 was necessary?

we had to tweak the Q45 as it kept maxing out.

So yes i would say it was money well spent.

there around the same price as a Z32 anyway.

nice,

anyone have any idea how this turbo would do on a RB30 with mild Cams and a 7k Redline?

How would it do with the different AR sizes .63 .82 1.06?

responsive? laggy?

rb25 standard cams

.82 AR

26psi by 4200rpm

would be about 3500 on a rb30 and may be better with cams.

Hi fellas,

Grepin actually had the .68 housing originally and made over 300@the tyres, then just recently he changed to the larger housing - not much difference in the power output just moved it higher in the rev range. I think he said he's seen 320kw@ the tyres at one stage (maybe he had the wastegate wired shut!!!?)

I'm going to stay with my .68 housing - I've just purchased 256 tomei pon cams and fitted water meth so am looking foreward to a new tune.

Cheers

Grepin went to fairly extreme measures to get that 300rwkw, like practically having to jam closed the wastegate from what i remember!

my 280rwkw was made with a small front mount and 3inch exhaust, i have just fitted a HKS type-R FMIC off of my GTR to replace the little hybrid, plus a 3 1/2 inch exhaust. Once its off defect (very soon!) i will put the good bits back on and re-tune and see what happens.

if grepin has the 0.87 and totally maxed it at 300rwkw, then isnt it likely that mine is the same housing, seeing as i got close to 300 without really screwing it for max power?

How much difference in peak power is the housing gonna make? Mine also doesnt hit hard till 4000rpm, which housing would that fact indicate?? im thinking if i do have the 0.68 and it doesnt hit hard till 4grand, then on an RB20 it would be laggy as hell! Seeing how you guys are saying the .68 is good on an rb20, it would lead me to think its a 0.87... yet something in my mind remembers 0.68 fron when i ordered it... why cant it just have the damn number on the housing!!

First of all, nice numbers!

Few questions though:

1. How does it spool so quickly? I thought it was commonly accepted that you wouldn't have 20+ psi until 4700ish on a RB25 w/ stock head. Is it all because of the manifold? Or the tune?

2. Shouldn't the .82 AR GT3540 make around 500whp at 26 psi? Not saying that 425 is low by any means but still.

3. At what rpm does boost really start building?

Not calling BS or anything, just tryin to figure things out for my turbo setup. Thanks!

Awesome results Darren, as you said stock head, plenum, cams and an auto. :D

Definitely an excellent power figure for the boost run not to forget its an auto that are well known for sucking out a bit of power. No doubt if it was behind a manual you could throw another 30rwkw on to the figure.

Also looks like that stock wastegate size is working well, its definitely able to pass the air required as it is dropping boost at the top end. Great to see you've made use of those internals with a peak of 26-27psi.

Still dumb founded.. 317rwkw on the stock auto, tough little auto box's those.

So... Is it scary.. :(

Auto's have a considerable influence on spool

Go the Auto!!!!!!

its very predictable.. you can cruise around off boost and its so nice to drive, yet point it in a straight line and boot it and it changes up into top gear rather quickly.

All good..

big smile..

i have dropped it back to 20psi as i said i would, but its nice to know that its there if i need it.

:laugh:

I must have the 0.68 housing then. that sounds about right now... I too will stick with it as its just right for the street and should cut some nice 11's with the right traction!

Dangerman thats a great result! so how much bigger is this turbo than a HKS 3037proS? given the fact that on a manual car the HKS will see 320+rwkw, and yours if it was manual a touch more?!

It would be nice to see it on the rollers but personally I probably wouldn't juuuuuuust incase it made less power. lol

That would eat at me.

Either way buddy.. Just asking if you had plans to or not. :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
