I think the GT-RS has a way to small exhaust side for an RB25. Massive back-pressure up-top.

The ultimate bolt-on responsive turbo for the RB25 has gotta be the HKS GT2835 Pro S bolt-on kit.

It's pretty much the spot-on size in both the compressor side and the turbine side.

i have to agree there...

mine hits full boost at 32-3500 and stays on till my 7400 redline...

i have an exhaust cam gear to bring it on earlier (at the exoense of like 10rwkw up top) and the car is an animal

Guess depends on if you wanna drive round or sit at home jacking off over dyno sheets...

You could combine the two....

Maybe that's why some people carry a dyno sheet in the glove box, all makes sense now!!

Just reading through this and you need to ask yourself do u want responsive power or laggy as hell.

I agree with hks gtr-s or 25/35 (30) for responsive power although may not pull the higher figures.

what a crock of shit.

i have a 3582r with a .82 rear and and i can see 24 psi by 4k

most of the other figures quoted from the other turbos in this thread are all full boost somwhere in the 3k - 3.5k range

and you will find 90% of gt30 size turbos are all gonna be around the 4k mark as well.

so what do you call laggy as hell?

imo do it once and do it properly

a gt3582r/iw will fit low mounted no worries, running at 15 psi you will make between 250 - 270 rwkws.

if the motor gets rebuilt then up the boost and make 350rwkws.

the thread title has been answered you make up your mind what your looking for.

remember guys you can build a mental set up and just detune it for reliability.

i have a GT-RS and a GT3040 and there is no doubt the GT-RS is the more responsive turbo. increases in throttle application generally you get more instant joy out of the GT-RS.

however, the GT3040 (aka GT3082) isn't too shabby to drive around, it needs a few more revs onboard but makes much more power once it is going. ultimately the compressor will be choked by the turbine on this version but it is a pretty good thing. so i am guessing it will feel not too dissimilar to a GT3582 at 75-80% of its max.

personally, i think something that can make 270-300rwkw for a rear wheel drive car is the best bet. this is about the limit of traction on road tyres and inside a power level for keep the stock engine chugging along for a while with good tuning.

so that means GT3076 sized turbo if funds permit with the addition of a merge collector manifold you can bring the boost threshold down.

so many people say that turbo is the go mate what u mean by merge collector manifold

How about the HKS GT2540? I don't see many people talking about this turbo. It's a direct bolt on as well to the RB25 Engine.

Probably because they are the laggiest turbo for the power they make and the cost to obtain them and I'm not sure HKS even make them anymore so the odds are that one you buy will be many years and kms old.

GT3076R as stated, is ftmfw

what are they worth mate

i have nfi to be honest, best to find one in kit form so its all nice and easy to bolt up , iv'e seen them as low as $1200 for the rb kit 2nd hand (the turbo is easily rebuildable). dr drift was looking into getting copies fairly cheap , it might pay to email him (he made 300+rwk with one, its in the rb25 upgrade thread)

Edited by toffy

here ya go , his exact words on his :thumbsup:

Want to make a few changes, upgrade radiator and maybe some coilovers, and the gearbox is whining after the weekend... Will try and make next day at Basky!

As for the L2, yes it's an EXACT copy... we've completely pulled the turbo apart and put it side by side with a genuine L2 and you CANNOT spot the difference...

Response on the 25 is pretty stupid, and I haven't even hooked up the VCT!! More to be had :D

Pulled the intake pipe off this aftenoon, and with over 1000km now on it (most of it HARD) there is absolutely no signs of wear at all!

I'm negotiating direct with manafacturer to try and get these in a bit cheaper, but I'm going to have to order min 10 pcs!

Edited by toffy
Assuming he does not take it to drag/drift/track days every weekend and keeps away from the rev limiter and a host of other variables that will kill an engine that is on the limit.

My 25 only sees drag/drift/limiter... But I do concede it seems abnormal for a stock 25 to make 305 rwkw reliably with 25 psi copy L2 and other budget bolt ons!

trust td06 l2 20g :spank: their maximum efficiency is right on the limit of a stock rb25 imo

Hell, even push them past their max efficiency... they just sing!

what are garrett 3082r like are they more laggy then a 3076r

turbo is rated at 600hp front cover is Ar .70 and .63 rear for quicker spooling

what would u pay for a second hand one

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
