What "few" other goodies??

A GT35 is too big for a 2.2ltrs far as i see it, far too big... GT35 is 350rwkw style, 30+ psi easily... on a 2.2 with a head that flows like a 2" exhaust :)

So you'll run into all sorts of drama's there.

Even a 3037 is too be, get a 2835 or similar IMO. With decent tyres and a good driver 11's shouldnt be a problem

ive had a look at the 2835 but its not rated at that much more ps than the turbo in there at the moment.. generaly im aiming for 400rwhp and if it breaks 11's it would b nice. few other goodies meaning just off the top of my head forgies, cams, powerfc, fuel pump, injectors, head gasket.. i dont mind abit of lag but i dont want sumthing hitting full boost at 6k anything around 4 - 4.5 is fine by me

How much power are you getting from the AX53B70 again? Was around 220rwkw yeah? If so that sounds alittle low especially with mods you have like cams and headwork and a 2.2L...i think guys have pushed numbers close to the mid 200s...i could be wrong though...but if thats true...then that sounds like there are definitlely issues or restrictions in your system that should be sorted out...

I had a look at your dyno graph and you're making less power with the same response as my 2535...the AX53B70 is rated higher than the 2535...plus you have headwork and a 2.2L...it probably shows that theres a fair bit more to be had from your setup...

If you do want to upgrade though...i think a 2835 or maybe a td06 with 8cm housing would be the go for around 250+ rwkw...i'm starting a hybrid rb22 build too and might consider a turbo upgrade too at the same time as my 2535 might be getting alittle tired...and if so i'll probably go with the 2835...

IMO a GT3071 with a .63 ex housing will see very close to 300rwkw, with the best response you can hope for.

I think your right mate.

This is the option I would be going for if I was chasing 300rwkw on an RB22. The 2.2l isn't going to have that much exhaust flow that it will cause a restriction and limit power with a 0.63 a/r rear housing, and this should still be pretty responsive.

limpus the tune was done in perth by a fairly known tuner and they said that there pulled as much out of it as they could, the other other way im going to make more power is to get a bigger turbo.. i mite go 2 another tuner and see wot they have to say because im pretty certain that it can get 320 - 330rwhp... ad4m ive spoken to u abit on antilag, that GT3076R murrayis is talking about u rkn that would suit my engine? murrayis what housing is the turbo?

GT3076R would be fine man!

not to long ago a dude in perth had his tuned running that turb on a std rb20 with hks cams,plazmaman plenum,6boost mani, turbo smart 48mm gate and all the usual supporting mods and went 358rwhp@20psi... and the way it made the power was so linear and smooth, if i didnt already have the 3040 it definatly would have been my pick!

i cant remember for the life of me what rear housing it was but if you need to know more shoot r32rookie on antilag a pm.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
