Chasing more power with my car.

Have decided on everything except the turbo.

Options are to hi-flow the turbo, or to get a new turbo that will be a DIRECT BOLT ON REPLACEMENT for the car.

Chasing around 300rwkw.

Do not want a massive turbo that will increase lag. Want a very responsive turbo...but one that doesn't drop off in boost near the top of the rev range.

So...which turbo will be a direct bolt on and fit my requirements?

It is for a engine with stock internals.

And one more question....if i get a turbo with a external wastegate, how much extra am i looking to spend? I would like one to be internally gated if possible.

Please recommend me some good turbos and rough price.

Cheers

if your chasing a turbo for 300rwk and minimal lag, you gotta go for something alot bigger than a hiflow. set yourself a realistic goal and go for 260 rwk. that youl do on a hiflow and still retain minimal lag, and a longer engine life with stock internals :)

good luck

There is no such thing, i would recommend reading the rb25 dyno results thread at the top of the page, or do a search, as posting a new question all the time that has been answered many times before will not win you any friends

I have searched but in the posts it doesn't say if it was a direct bolt on :)

But i know what u mean...

Which turbo do you mean by bigger? And thats why i am deciding on going a replacement turbo.

I think the GT35 is ok, but as i said...dunno if it is a direct replacement.

Pretty much covered in your other thread dude.

Good response/power can be had with 260rwkw and thats a hi-flow or HKS GT-RS or similar other brand names. Then you gotta step up frame of turbo etc.

Thats increased lag and so on for more power.

As we covered in the other thread aswell, 300rwkw is pushing the stock motor as it is.

Anything around the 300rwkw mark generally means it not bolt on either as you cant make massive power out of a peep-hole turbo, your forced to get a decent sized one.

A GT35 is well above 300rwkw aswell, closer to 330-350rwkw range and is most certainly not bolt on

Not trying to sound rude, but the other thread had a lot of useful info you dont seem to have taken onboard

Talk to Slide here on the forums about a turbo, I love his highflow :thumbsup::P:)

fkn awesome turbo.

whats the deal with 300rwkw with everyone these days ?? cant use it on the road so tell me JUST what is the point ?

240rwkw is just fine, surely, with a nice highflow at 1.1bar, piggyback ecus, fpr, z32, zuast and air, cam gears etc.

get a bit of boost into it and you're already over the legal speed limit.

want a bit more then add some cams, injectors, full replacement ecu etc :)

no point in going overboard...... its just a car.

no chance of a direct bolt on 300rwkw. well you could do it, but it wont be a nice set-up.

if you want 300rwkw bear in mind you need a lot of other bits too.

decent front mount (not cheap rubbish ones)

550cc injectors or bigger

high volume fuel pump

bigger afm is advisable too

strong clutch

good tyres

good brakes

and this is just the basics, there are lots of other desirable bits to have too with that kind of power.

but if it were me, and I wanted a 300rwkw R34 GTT I would get:

HKS 3037S 0.73 A/R

HKS GT-II 60mm wastegate

custom steampipe manifold (6boost ones are very nice)

that will give you 300rwkw and be on 1.5 bar boost around 4000rpm.

if theres anything that ive learned, its that a quick street car doesnt have to have huge max power, but rather good, average power. Therefore, on the street a 250rwk gts-t with a highflow, or a GTRS or something similar is going to be more responsive than a laggy 300rwk equivalent. Your not going to use 300rws on the street. I say for the street, even the basic mods with standard turbo, such as ECU, exhuast, 12psi of boost and a good intercooler is enough. If anything dont compromise response for max power. :rant:

Like what nismoid said, 300rwkw on the RB25DET is really pushing it. I'm also looking at upgrading the stock turbo. From what i gather, 300rwkw is pretty much more suited for hardcore track racing, if you're using it on the streets majority of the time, i would get something responsive eg. HKS Gtrs , 2835, etc.

I can tell you a 3037s 0.73 AR on a RB25 Neo is not laggy at all. I reckon it's the gun choice for a stock engine RB25.

I agree, even the .82 isnt too bad lag wise mine made 303rwkw at 18psi and is not noticeably worse on response than the Apexi AX53B70 I had

1.a new turbo that will be a DIRECT BOLT ON REPLACEMENT for the car.

2.Chasing around 300rwkw.

3.Do not want a massive turbo that will increase lag.

4.Want a very responsive turbo

5.one that doesn't drop off in boost near the top of the rev range.

hahahahah!

1 and 2 cancel each other out.

2 contradicts 3

4 cancels out 5

That would be the perfect turbo. I mean, it has it all. Early boost, no lag, big power right to past redline.

I'll take 6 if you can find one...I don't even care how much they are.

I still reckon from how my GT3076R drives that a bolt on GT3037 from HKS will meet most of those requirements. They will pull hard to redline, have excellent response, make good power, and have an awesome midrange whack.

If I did it all again, I'd not go smaller than a GT2835/GT3071R but not go bigger than a .82a/r GT3076R.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
