Im not to sure what i should be going for and i was looking for feed back/advice on what other people are running and what power figures they are getting.

The slide turbo's appear to offer a cheap excellent value upgrade.

I couldn't bring myself to spending 2k on a GCG highflow for only 250rwkw odd. Spend another couple hundred and throw a tidy little GT3076r 500hp turbo on the side of it, thicker headgasket, 20-22odd pounds of boost and you'll have a damn good attempt at cracking 300rwkw. :rofl:

Shaun at Boostworx doesn't have issues having the rb25's holding together at such power levels/boost so it may be worth speaking to him to see what he recommends with regards to your spool expectations etc.

depending on what horsepower you want, when you want it to hit full boost, what mods you have done to your engine already

determine what turbo you should choose, i suggest you see an expert.

cause you dont want to waste all your money on something thats not going to suit your aplication

thats just what i think

I got my GT3076R turbo recently from ATS (Adelaide Turbo Services) and its going extremely well. Havent had a single issue yet and it looks extremly tidy and has stock appearance. Of course for now I have gone the option of using a Rb25 stock exhaust housing for the turbo but once I decide to get more power and redo the dump I'll get a different one put on. @ the moment looking for ~240kw or so before my engine shits itself then I'll have my own crack at 300kw with a different setup on the same turbo.

Paul, did you end up having the std compressor housing machined up to suit or did Bill simply use the gt30 comp cover and run a silicon elbow to the ic piping?

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
