^^^^^

the only reason it offers a lot of torque is because it is still prob using the standard exhaust housing which would be bored out

in my honest opinion i think you are basically choking the turbo with this housing,

whats the point of puttting bigger internals in to a standard rb25 turbo and run the standard exhaust housing???

i use to run a proper gt30 (.7 compressor housing) with a rb25 exhaust housing and it wouldnt pull more than 260rwkw even on a forged motor

as soon as i went to a .82 exhaust housing i made 300+rwkw

I was going to say that if it was a true GT3071R external gate with the correct exhaust wheel it would make around the 270 mark @ 19psi (even with the 0.64 rear) but not if it's just a high flowed compressor side using the 71mm compressor wheel.

hahaha yeah 10 years after leaving i found my self living on forest ave

tis a bit large tho. in consideration, sig scrapped...

BOLOGNESE :D

yea like i said ill b happy with 250 to 260 man, if not ill push it to 25psi on e85 and go for 300 haha, hey steve have u fixed ur car yet? as in the bearing?

i don't know about power gains on e85 but i have seen better torque curves but fuel efficiency goes out the window!

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
