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

Here's one RB25DETS2 referred to:

post-a216081-HKS3037vsGT3582.jpg

The HKS GT3037 makes 180rwkw ~600rpm earlier than the GT35R, and thats loaded up on the dyno - not taking into account the better response resultant from having less inertia to deal with.

or is all that just your personal opinion without actually owning one? spongier? the host is asking about drag racing not going shopping

Its after driving and/or being passenger in a few cars with .82a/r GT3582Rs as well as my own with .82a/r GT30R. I haven't owned a .82a/r GT35R, as I was targetting around 300rwkw and I seems stupid to me to buy a turbo suited for far more when you don't intend on making far more. I think GT35R are good for the power level they are suited for, but this guy has said clearly he wants to run up to 1.3bar on stock internals - so there is absolutely no advantage in going to a GT35R though even in drag racing with stock cams etc it will be that much harder to get a clean launch and if he doesn't get up in the revs/through the gears swiftly enough he has the potential for that much less punch into the next gear.

You seem to be getting quite irate about it? Its nothing personal, just sheer logic that a turbo best suited to 280-300rwkw is better suited to 280-300rwkw than one suited to mid/high 300rwkw. Why would you try and convince someone with size 10 feet to buy size 12 shoes?

3076 could be the go then...internal have no dramas holding 1.3-1.4bar?

aslong as you make up a nice bellmouth style dump it holds boost fine. i'm running 17psi with a profec and it holds fine. when i first got it all together i still had a turbotech manual controller, that didnt work too well.....20psi untuned ftl

GT30 rear or rb25 style rear?

a good split dump will hold fine too. I am using a split and it holds sweet all the way

im curious as to the dyno graph why is the total speed at redline so much different?

is this 4th gear with the 30 and 5th gear with the 35?

surely he isnt reving it past 8k?

this may even the ramp onto boost up a little..

Have to double check with adrian but i think his spins to 7800, mines limited 7250.

Don't think that rpm on the dyno chart is accurate somehow....Both cars dyno'd in 4th gear.

Hey Darren

I wouldnt read too much into that graph, rev limiter was set to 7600, it did hit it hard tho, also it was crazy rich on the ramp so it's not a fair comparison.

the response of the gt30 running that sorta boost is very hard to get to the ground, not my cupa tea!!!!

Yeah you got grip i'm jealous. I'm learning to get it to the ground tho with very moderate throttle imputs. I'm over mashing it and leaving 3rd gear strips down the road (sometimes anyway). Nothing wrong with response tho, excellent turbo for 2.5ltr imo.

Power not getting to the ground is more about driver/tyres/suspension and so on.

Especially around the 250-300rwkw mark. I drive 280rwkw, and have next to no traction problems in any setup ive had (GT30 was 270rwkw, GT-SS's are around the same)

Why do you keep saying the things that I was thinking :cool: I wrote exactly the same response, remembered those guys are both making north of 330wkw and decided that maybe mine would be different with that power and decided to hold my tongue just in case when I make bigged numbers the car becomes useless haha. With 280rwkw however, my car is perfectly controllable - sure an "iffy" condition surface will result in traction loss in 3rd if you are being an animal but overall its quite useable.

Any surface in third with anymore than quarter to half throttle coming onto boost results in wheelspin. When i was running 274rwkw i had no issues with wheelspin in third and second was quite controllable as you and Nismoid are finding.

Been actually thinking of running off the 18psi actuator for a lazy 300-320 to see if its any better in the traction stakes.

Read again mate i'm having issues in third at 350rwkw

270 and you loose traction in 3rd?

wow... i can full throttle and never loose grip by 3rd

Not sure who you are pointing that at but as I said, when I have issues in 3rd its due to compromised traction levels - a cold NZ evening where there has been rain at some point during the day even if the road appears dry is one such situation. I was just saying its POSSIBLE to have it being a bit of a handful (not counting going out in rain which is a given haha)

The car doesn't have ridiculously traction, most people are impressed at how much in gear acceleration it can pull on street tyres - usually it can take pretty much full throttle in 2nd and it will just writhe a bit, not so much you need to lift off. First gear is useless at over half throttle.

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
