hey guys

just wondering has anyone tried/used the gt3582r on there rb25?

im looking at upgrading my turbo, at the moment im running a kkr480 with 50mm ext gate on 18psi making 240rwkw ran 115mph.

has anyone had issues with the gt3582r internal gate? can they hold boost etc

would it be a worthy upgrade or not worth it? want something with more punch!

get a 3076, more power, about the same response as the KKR junk :P

hey im chasing more mid range torque plus ya top end power, my kkr i make 1.4bar at about 4800rpm, i want it at 3800rpm if possible. but with the same torque. til redline.

would 3076 make 250rwkw on 14psi? so 18psi could i push 280rwkw and 120mph+?

do they make 3076 internally gated? do they hold boost or creep?

im not really into the mood of hacking into another exhaust housing and gettin a 50mm ext gate welded on again! its why im considering iternal gate

i have an internal gate 3076, it holds boost fine if you make the dump properly. i'm making 250rwkw at 17psi. all in around 3900 on the road. if i was going to do it again i'd go external from the start

oh ok thanks 4 that. see no point upgrading if im only gonna gain 10kw at same boost level, not worth the 2.5g to do it!

i kinda want a turbo that makes 250rwkw at 1bar and perhaps 280-300 at 1.3bar-1.4bar

i had one if not the first 3582r-iw sold in Aus, mounted on my 25

it started out low mounted and then high mounted on a etm manifold, and i loved it.

my car was running a built r33 auto with highstall.

the turbo had a 18 psi actuator with a .82 rear and would see 20 psi between 4000 - 4200rpm

going up a lg hill in overdrive ive seen 5 psi at 2500 rpm, Laggy i think not.

in my eyes this is the same boost response to the 3076, yet the potential for future power is allways there.

i have since sold this turbo and manifold to another SAU member and he with a manual and e85 has produced 380 rwkws,

on a stock motor with lg injectors at around 23 psi.

i think they are the one of best suited turbo to the rb25 you can get.

a wise man "nismoid" once said, a poor man pays twice

so why choose a 3076 to get the same response and less power?

you then want more power so you sell it and get a 3582.

get a 3582 to begin with and do the job once.

as far as internal gate's go above 20 psi,

the 3582r-iw with .82 rear has no boost control issues that i have found when set up correctly.

thanks dangerman! well this is the turbo im really looking at going 2!

i only wanna run around 1.3bar because motor is still stock, motor has run 1.3bar for 2yrs nearly now and no signs of giving in yet lol

where is the best place 2 start looking? price wise etc.

Two things:

1) If you aren't going to get >250rwkw on a GT3076R, then you won't on a GT3582R either - both can flow that power level at that boost level without an issue.

2) A .82a/r GT3582R feels WAY spongier "around town" driving than a GT3076R, saying they respond/drive the same as a GT3076R is ridiculous.

Agreed fully with Nismoid, recommending a .82 GT35R over a GT3076R is basically saying "Why get 280-300rwkw with good response when you can spend the same and make 280-300rwkw with more lag??" There is a dude on here who has cracked 350rwkw with a .68a/r GT30R running E85 on his RB25DET. GT30R ftw.

im assuming you have a 3076 dyno print out to compare to mine?

or is all that just your personal opinion without actually owning one?

spongier?

the host is asking about drag racing not going shopping

Im glad Lith said it and not me lol...

But come on, a bit of logic.

The larger compressor wheel in the GT35 cannot be as efficient as the GT30. It flows more, and a reasonable amount more too considering the 50-70rwkw

From what i remember in my GT3X days, the rear ends on them are identical, its just the front wheel thats changed... so going to a larger front wheel whilst making more power/flow (clearly), is not going to have the same response.

A dyno print out isnt a good gauge either... anyone can load up harder and get a better curve.

Hey Dangerman hows things mate.

I think Lithium is refering to my HKS3037 on E85.

Heres a plot with Adrians and my car on the same dyno (Willall's)

GT3582 vs HKS3037 .68

Edit: Picture not working properly but is on the last page of the E85 thread up the top.^^^^^

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
