So how would you compare a 250-260rwkw R34 vs a 200rwkw one with the stock turbo?? MUCH faster? Or not that much in it really? Compare as in reasonable day to day driving with a quick burst here n there, motorways etc

Spot on Rolls that's part of why I went the G3 so that 280kw can be reached if it doesn't quite make the 300 planned kW. I'm OK with trading some daily driving lag and transient response for more chance of reaching the power goal.

Although I've had an rb25 with a 500hp turbo before and didn't think it was too bad so I'll be interested to see how it goes.

you've got an ATR43G3?

i had hypergear highflow my turbo and great results from it i got 210rwkw at 10psi and he said i can boost my turbo to 18 max,i can provide dyno sheets to prove this just gotta look through my photos on computer but i might tune my car to 15psi wonder what rwkw i will get then :D

My turbo makes the power, it's just lacking the mid-range as I don't have VCT working.

To be honest it's not that bad on the street, even as laggy as it is. But then I track my car, so I'm content to run around off-boost on the street. You get used to it and learn how to drive it on the street. It's not hard to get the revs up and get it on boost when needed.

Stao is in the process of sending it now.

@hanaldo I agree. A laggier car can still be usable for certain driving styles, this is why I don't think using motor only for driving around town is the worst thing.

Do you know how big of a difference to expect from setting up your VCT?

If you overlay my graph with Stao's, I'm down about 30kw through the midrange. I haven't seen anyone make the same power as Stao apart from Abe, so I'm expecting about 15-20kw. Biggest thing is response though, if I can find my missing 500-600rpm of response then the turbo will be ALOT better to drive.

I don't know how optimistic I am of doing it with the NIStune though. Will find out, but I may have to swap to VIPEC to get the full potential of the turbo.

Walbro 550hp fuel pump.

Hypergear ATR43 FNT G3.

Turbosmart Compgate 40 external wastegate with two 7psi springs.

Tuned to run at 18psi, so still has a bit more in it.

Yep, on my only [daily] car. Maybe a couple track days a year.

Haha, you are the other voice in my head telling me not to do it. Then theres the other side saying "Nahh she'll be right, a bit of lag will be alright". Its either that or go the standard 0P6 highflow - 250'ish rwkw.

If you want 250 then go for the SS1PU, its arguably better than a highflow..

The benefit to the highflow is bolting it back into place and looking close to stock. But you are considering a G3, so I doubt looking perfectly stock is a big issue for you.

Consider this: if you definitely want 300kw, then get a G3. If you will do every track day your local track can offer, you want a G3. If you will do 80% of your driving on normal roads you want a SS1PU. If y ou want good response, you want the SS1PU.

Put the two cars against eachother, on a short coarse OR on the street the SS1PU will probably win every time.. On a more open circuit or the strip itself the G3 will probably win - pulling away in 4th gear.

I hope that helps.

yes i have been in plety and all setups react differentt weather your running same parts on a idential engine i just reacon saying 250 kw to say 280 290 that he wants is gona so called reck its street value unless its on a track its just not true

I also disagree, the G3 compared to the SS1 makes it a completely different car. With the G3 I would have to prepare to give it some. When I was in the twistys I had to keep it on the boil so changing down gears and revving it hard while just trying to enjoy some nice roads. With the SS1, instead of being in 2nd gear revving really high I can be in 3rd with nice linear torque as I drive through the corners. But at the same time on the track you want the max revs so the G3 would be far better.

The SS1 is seriously standard turbo response. It is always right there and then has a really nice mid range.

To the other question yes 250kw does feel much faster to the std turbo 200kw.

The largest I would go for a street car would be an SS1PU or 2835 Pro S (normally 260-280kw).

Thanks Harey, and GTScot, this is the type of answer every newbie whos lookin for his first aftermarket turbo wants to hear. Not what spec turbo will do what KW and Nm in what time, 0-400m time, all the tech bull. Quote from GTScot also :

Thanks to all for the input and thoughts. Call me stupid but Im still leaning towards the G3 at the moment.

Thats cool too, its a great turbo. As long as you understand what sort of turbo it is then go for it. I just know from my own history that I was not aware what came along with the great top end power/torque.

well ill be goin the g3 but with the external gate option as it seems every man and his dog in this thread couldnt hold 20psi with internal gate, we will see what happens

I am hoping my vipec and ebc will sort that funny business out.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
