I currently have an R33 RB25DET running poncams, GT3540, and supporting mods.

I was recently told that if i were to swap out my 3540r .82 for a 3076r .63 i would still make around 400rwhp with more response and less lag. This was appealing to me as i have just began taking it out on the track and can always do with a tad more response.

Please help out a novice racer by confirming or rebutting this opinion.

Thanks

If your still running the stock manifold there is absolutely ZERO to gain by going the GT3540. On the same dyno my own car and a mates basically identical apart from one having the gt35 the other the gt30. Both made near identical power on the same boost.

I've since dropped cams in which has pushed power up to 302rwkw on 17psi with the GT3076r .82 IW.

The .63 I doubt on 98ron pump fuel will push 400rwhp 'easily'. You really need the .82. regardless it will still be a lot more responsive than the gt35 .82. Especially in the lower gears and corner exit etc.

th 0.82 housing works pretty well on RB25's with progressive delivery from what i have seen.

the 0.63 may provide a more light switch power delivery but will probably run out of puff with a 500hp compressor bolted to it.

i was just agreeing with cubes hence the short post.

its far more balanced and suited to the 25, so yeah.

My 600hp GT30 was quite nice with delivery (.82) all things considered on my 25 back in the day and the 3076 would be more linear again being the smaller comp wheel etc :P Will buzz up nicely is my prediction

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
