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. :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
