Yeah i know.

But a 500hp/.63 rear GT30 wont get him real 400rwhp either ;)

He'll need to go bigger, and thats less responsive

So cut the losses and go response for 350rwhp and have a more responsive car.

Which at about 350rwhp is spot on and doesnt require a lot of upgrading other areas

I agree, even if you are limited to 250-260rwkw with a hiflow/GT25/GT28 unit thats only the peak power figure. It'd be the power and torque curves of the turbo that will show you where the mid-range of the turbo would be alot different I reckon.

there was a guy on here a while ago, that made made 346rwkw on a .3040 .63, he had forged internals power fc and just a set of pon cams. but yeh i do agree bigger turbo means easier power but more lag lol.

It was a .82 :)

And the person was bigcarl.

You wont get 340rwkw with a .63, i dont even think you'd get there on some better fuel, C16 etc.

ive got a gt2835 pros and got 251rwkw @ 16psi with a very shitty tune... i dont think im close to the limit of the turbo yet

gt3076 500hp turbo gave me 260rwkws on 20 psi at 3500rpm / 3800rpm

Thats fairly high boost there, i really only wanna be running like 14-15, so im not punishing my engine. Thats why i was told to go with the GT3040 because its got the .63 so it should still spool up fast. And also make the same power as the GT3076 but on lower boost.

take the excellent advice you are getting. HKS GT-RS, GCG Hi-flow, Slide Hi-FLow are the picks for a streeter RB25. every other turbo compromises where you will spend 90% of your time ie: between 2700-5500rpm

forget peak hp numbers and buy something that will be quick everywhere that makes great average power and these three turbos fit the bill.

anything larger will be a poor cousin according to your originally stated goals.

Boost doesn't kill (punish) an engine - poor tuning will kill an engine before boost does...

For the record, I have an ext gated GT3040R with supporting mods and make +285rwkw on 17psi with full boost in the low 4k rpm range. It's a little laggy, but still very streetable - i also don't mind the old fang at the drags, so I wanted something with a reasonable top end - I've done an 11.9 @ 118.

BUT, this turbo would not be my first choice if I was after a nice, responsive streeter. As MANY people have already said, the HKS2835ProS or GT-RS would be my turbo of choice (and yes, they do come with the T3 flange to bolt directly to an rb25). Full boost in the mid to high 3k rpm range making an easy +250rwkw with supporting mods.

Do yourself a favour and listen to the advice people in the know (and with experience) and giving you :blink:

try fanging it around a corner on boost

Why would i be doin that in a built up area?... yeah fair enough street car but i'd boot it somewhere sensible from most likely 50km onwards, like an open road, and i reckon boost should be on tap from there anyway. I dont wanna race from traffic light to traffic light like a new kid with his P plates or circuit race the thing.

For street use i mean i dont want a massive turbo that kicks me sideways the whole way up the street on boost, but one that can take off from normal driving and have heaps off balls and a possiblity to go quicker if i intend to in the future.

If u have an aftermarket turbo you can comment on it. (like bigcarl, sinistagtst etc) And more often than not u'll be bias towards it. But i reckon half the comments on here are from guys with stock turbos running their mouth, am i right. The only real way to know whats better is to have driven both and thats what i was really after, not someone guessing what would be best, i can do that!

I also wanna run my car down the quater and see what time i'll get, and from what sinistagtst and the turbo shops tell me this is the turbo best suited and what im lookin for

ECR033 - Boost doesn't kill (punish) an engine - poor tuning will kill an engine before boost does...

Yeah im sure poor tuning kills engines... find me someone who doesnt know that. I never said i was gonna get it tuned badly just for the hell of it did i. But u agree excess boost will damage engines... thats what i said!? And thats why if i can get to a certian power figure with the same spool up time and less boost i'll be doing it.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
