And just to set the record straight don't want 300rwkw, but I want my turbo to be capable of it if I ever do want to. I am really only looking at around 270-280, the motor is untouched except for cams.

just some points on the HKS2835proS. This is NOT an all-day-everyday 300rwkw turbo. I think people have read what it "can" make, and taken it as gospel that it is easily achievable. It is only rated at 420ps, even if you factor in your HKS conservative estimate, your still gonna be pushing it for 300rwkw.

Now i know you said you dont want 300rwkw. My results of the full 2835proS kit, with all the support mods were 265rwkw on a totally stock motor, and 281rwkw with poncams. So id say that those are closer to your everyday figures for this turbo, which puts you just where you want to be, but with possibly not the easy potential you want for the future. Its great street turbo.. What are others making with their 2835's consistently?

So if you have cams already, then a jump from 240 to 280+rwkw wouldnt be bad, but just keep in mind that to get an extra 20rwkw to achieve 300, its not going to be a simple boost increase and a tune. With and without cams there is an issue of boost falling off and killing the peak power.

cheers

I hear what your sayin' Sly33. And I agree with you that the 2835proS would be a good choice, but also [as you repeat] I would have no head room for any possible future development. One thing that does appeal is that the 2835proS would not be a lag monster, everything owners have told me is that its a responsive powerful choice. The GT30R and the GT3040 - although more powerful - would not be as responsive, they have to have more lag. I have yet to decide....

The real GT3076R is turbo number 700382-12 and cartridge no 700177-5007 .

The Garrett engineers don't recommend the .63 housing on this turbo mainly because the 56 trim compressor makes more airflow than the exhaust housing can let the exhaust gas out of . GT30 .63AR exhaust housings are quite small inside when you look at them .

Before anyone asks HKS made GT30 turbine housings in .61 .73 .87 etc but they also offered the 76mm compressor in 48 and 52 as well as 56 trim . Garrett only markets the GT3076R in 56 comp trim and in the US recommend a MINIMUM of a .82AR exhaust housing . Have a look at the turbobygarrett site under products/turbos GT3076R . Expand the turbine map and note the maximum flow of the three available housings . Maximum flow becomes the restriction if its not enough to be in step with the volume of air the compressor is trying to pump into the inlet side of the engine . Since it wants to choke up the hot side you can't take full advantage of the 56 trim compressors full capacity so its potential is wasted . I've read about good tuners in the States actually getting better response from this turbo and the GT3582R by using the mid or .82AR sized housings after someone tried the .63AR housing . I don't think I'd use a .63 on anything except smaller comp trim versions of the GT3076R/GT3037 or the GT3071R .

No offense intended , cheers A .

a 450hp wont throw you to 300rwkw.

It actually will. It is well known that Garrett under-rate their turbos and that you would only require around 480 engine hp to have 300rwkw. I have seen an R33 put out 300rwkw on a GT28RS

While i dont know the specs of a GT28RS, isnt that like saying i know of a 2835pros making 300 at the wheels, but most of them wont in the majority of cases?

with all the fricken ratings and various housing choices, these ratings mean little to me now!! It does what it does and you'll only know when you try :ninja:

I'd like to see a GT28RS (GT2860RS) make 300 RWKW (400 RWHP) on any engine , sure thats not a typo ?

If your using it as a street car, response over power.

A car with more power in the midrange is faster than a car with less midrange if your only talking ~20rwkw difference.

I have the big hooter 600hp on mine, it wasnt too bad at all. But then you compare that to a GCG hi-flow. My extra ~20-30rwkw wouldnt have made me faster unless we were @ the drag strip.

Daily street driving 250-260rwkw is what you want.

Much more your really pushing the envelopes of traction among other things.

I'll get you a dyno graph with my GT-SS making 600rwkw is you want?

Read sly's post, he has worked hard to get where it is.

Nothing is impossible, but when you have to run boost through the roof on stock motors, whats the point?

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
