hey, just need some advice on wat size exhaust housing is more suitable for a gt35r, its for r33 rb25, engine has stock internals but has all support mods, i've heard that the 0.86 comes onto boost at about 4000 and i'm pretty happy with that, but just want to know when boost comes on with the 0.63 housing, thanks

Ive fitted a .63 to a stock rb26, it made 327rwkw at 18psi, and 309 at 16psi. comes on at about 3500

thanks for that mate, so on an rb25 boost would come on at about 3500 as well then, i've heard that it can come on real early at liek 2500 which is why i was leaning more toward the bigger housing, does the 0.63 choke the turbo up top as i want something that pulls hard to redline, i'm not too worried about lag if it's going to kill my topend

HypeR33 - What does it ramp up like? Light switch or does it come on smoothly?

its pretty smooth...there is a pretty big jump in acceleration and keeps on going past redline. I went for the bigger exhaust housing so that it was a bit more subtle and not a off/on boost transition. Still a lot of fun to drive :)

Thats not a bad curve, Id still want mine to come on at around 3500 as I've got stock rods and dont wanna rev past 7k rpm (my limiter is at 6900 atm) But then again im not chasing as much power as what you've got, and ive noticed that yours noses over at 7000. I want a 'more tractable' street engine i guess you could say

It's all personal choice but would be using the .82 A/R rear housing.

Thats on a stock bottom end :D It now hasn't been tuned for 18 months, so I am thinking its about time for a tune

yeah i tihnk im going to go with the bigger exhaust housing, rb25's are tough and with a good tune should be able to handle 300rwkw, have a mate with a to4z on a stock rb25 and its been running fine for almost a year now, puts out 340rwkw i think.

is there any people who have experienced the 0.63 housing??

Then buy a HKS GTRS :)

PS: Tomei Poncams. Head porting, std bottom end.

With a std motor, the turbo may come on boost a fraction earlier but make a little less power in the mid and high range: Expect peak at 250rwkw, as an estimation.

PPS: Ignore the RED line, tested a different exhaust

this thread isn't to bad if your interested in getting an idea on power outputs from gt35 turbos

http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.p...;highlight=gt35

Not real a good indication considering the VL's have a 3.0ltr engine :)

yeah true, but they have a lower static compression ratio and sohc/smaller ports, so kind of puts them lineball at the end of the day.

the point i was getting at, is if your not planning to make that sort of power, why not run a smaller turbo or housing to reduce lag where possible. no use having extra lag if you only want to push it 50%

Al - When I said a more tractable street engine i meant around 20-30kw short of what HypeR33 has. I dont wanna go to the effort (re:cost) of changing cams where's the turbo ive chosen will give me 250rwkw easily on lowish boost and would (should) have a nice progressive torque curve. I just want a lazy engine which on low boost will pull cleanly to red line without being like a light switch or having everything down low and run out up top.

HKS Gt-RS turbos are great but in my opinion they are just too physically small for the RB25 - especially when you look through the RB25 Turbo Upgrade thread and guys with High-Flows Are getting better results than those with the GT28 sized HKS/Garret Turbos.

But Anyhoo i think ive hi jacked this thread enough :(

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
