Ok guys..... Be patient ok :D

Those ceramic fu@#ers has me reallllly bummy on the 26 , so i was weighing out the cost of changing them to a set of steels (garrett equivalent to gt-ss) or slapping on some extra gear to the perfectly good 25det i have sitting in my garage, and put it back in.

One of the main factors too is that 26 parts here(not in Aus) are verry hard to get,and when u do find them,they are extremely exp. The 25 on the other hand has parts readily available.

If i sell the 26, the cost of getting turbo/injectors/ecu for the 25 will be about the same with some left over to do the ex, lines for the turbo,piping etc.

Where as if i sell the 25, that would only cover half the cost of getting the steels for the 26 alone.

I will be adding a water/meth inj. kit no matter which set up i use, as our best brew is 95.

So here are the specifics:

Rb26dett--- Stock ecu / GT-SS equivalent / Water meth / Apexi pods / Cam gears / 3" Ex./ stock internals

Rb25det---- Pfc / GT30R -.63 / 555 inj / Water meth / Blitz pod / Cam gears / 3" Ex. / stock internals / stock ex. manifold

Now the important part..... I am aiming for a very responsive streeter as it is my daily driver, up to roughly 260-280rwkw.

Out of the two above combinations which will be the most responsive, and an overall better performer?

Thanks again.

Stock ECU = loose. Plus as you said, parts prices, forget the 26 IMO. Stock 26 ECU isn't bad, but really you dont want to use i.

Plus if you only want 260rwkw, GT-SS's are even too big for that, stock turbo's (with steel wheels) will do what you want there if you go that road

25 with a 3071, not the 3076.

Actually aiming for 280kw, but if i get 260kw,i'll live with that.

Unfortunately, no one to rebuild stock items with steel wheels here.

Still doing some reading up on the turbo chioces for the 25

When i had the 25 in, i read almost all the threads concerning these said turbos.........I guess i'll have to read them again. :D

nope Trust... as you say "I am aiming for a very responsive streeter as it is my daily driver" so go with the RB25... VCT, high comp and long plenum runners make it a much better street motor... if you were looking at higher power I would say go for the 26 but at for mid-high 200's Rb25 all the way... plus as ash said PFC is the way to go

Most likely i will be using a garrett item as there is an authorized dealer here, and i don't see many HKS / Greddy units unless it comes used through importers, which is verrry rear as the japs tend to keep this sort of gear.

To tell u the truth, i was bit disappointed when replaced the 25 with the 26 in terms of lag and response. The 25 using the 20 actuator had instant full boost(11psi) from as low as 2500rpm which made the car fun to drive,considering it has the weight of a bus!

With the target power of 280rwkw, i don't want to breaking traction too much though, because when her big a$$ starts sliding it kinda hard to bring back....yet ,response is the aim of the game :thumbsup:

Hasn't garrett brought out the GT3076r (GT30R) with a 52 trim comp yet?

For what its worth, a guy in my area put a 56Trim GT30R on his 4WD Neo RB25 Stagea and is making 270awkw at 17psi with it and absolutely loves it. Its making 17psi by around 3700rpm and can lose all wheel traction giving it a boot full, by all accounts its a heap of fun for a bus.

You couldn't give me twin std posie bush bearing turbos or the RB26 to hang off them . Just BS work and money to pull the car apart and rebuild plain bearing turbos when they go cough - smoke screen . And they do .

I think sensible people rip bush turbos off and fit BB ones to keep them alive on RB26's .

The question you need to ask yourself is will the GT3076R'd RB25 come on boost before the RB26 will because if it does it will start hauling sooner .

Personally for drive it every day duties the hydraulic bucket 25 is easier and less costly to live with than a shim/mechanical RB26 . Also if the 3076R fell over you going to be up and running a lot sooner and for less money than the 26 if the glass turbos let go .

This is the question i need the answer for! :blush:

Geeze....can't seem to figure out how to use this quote function :)

When i had the 25 in, i read almost all the threads concerning these said turbos.........I guess i'll have to read them again. :(

Wwoooowwww..... Finally finished reading all those "Rb25 turbo upgrade" threads again!!!

So for the 260-280rwkw region i see the GT3071 is capable with an average of 20psi and the GT3076 with an average of 18psi

I am however leaning towards the genuine Gt3071 .82 as i have seen "skylinecouple" have good results with it although he might be the only one who tried this combo!???

On that note "skylinecouple" did you ever sort out the dump pipe issues, and do u have a dyno chart with boost against rpm???

I am very impressed also with the results of the GT2835pro S but alot of guys are not stating what size the turbine is, so its hard to make a conclusion.

"The Mafia" had some good results too with the GT3076 .63 but i think 300kw might be a little too much for me BUT..... if this set up is more responsive than "skylinecouple" GT3071 .82 i don't mind going in this direction either.

The GT3071 .63 is totally out of the question because even with the Garrett .63 housing i see there are issues with boost control.

So.... at the end of the day, is there anyone who have driven or seen any cars with these set ups peform???

I'm intrested mainly on response, and would really like to know the real world differences between the Gt3076 .63 and the Gt3071 .82 Garrett on a basically stock Rb25det.

Also is there anyone else who have tried this original Garrett Gt3071 .82 combo??? Pls share your experiences.

Dyno sheets appriciated :P

Ooooh... and it MUST be more responsive than a stock Rb26dett with 14psi, which by the way i think sucks..... 14psi by 3800rpm in 4th

if you have the 26 already installed, go gt3076 with a remapped std ecu, the gtr has a really nice std ecu and comes up killer with a remap. I'm nearly convinced the remap in a gtr is better than a afm PFC.

Nah, i'm gettin rid of the 26...... most likely :D

Parts are too hard to come by, and the price i could sell it for i would be able to get turbo/injectors/pfc/exhaust work etc. done for the 25det i already have taking up space in my garage.

The million dollar question though is will the 25 be more responsive and powerful than the stock 26 with one of the two above turbo choices...ie. Garrett Gt3071 .82 or Gt3076 .63

the answer to the million dollar question is yes

with a 3076 .82 rear my 25 made 309rwkw at 18psi and made the 18psi by about 3800rpm. the 3071 would be better again and make your powere requirement no worries

stock manifolds, poncams and a built engine, but it was lower compression ratio than stock so that would have hindered response rather than helped

Was your stock manifold power ported/extrude honed?

Nice result but i will not be using any cams just an adj ex cam gear

May be it was because of the cams u got full boost so early???

Just concerned about boost control with the small back end (.63) on the Gt3076, but i feel it might make the 260-280rwkw a little more "safe" than running the Gt3071 .82 to it's limit...or close to anyway.

Response.... response.......response......

Oooooh.... found "skylinecouple" Dyno sheet ...... 18-19psi by 3800rpm Gt3071 .82 ......nice

I just f#@kin hate dyno sheets with kph and not rpm!!!

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
