ok the motor is an rb25det s1.

my goals are 400hp and retain some form of response or realy not having a very lagy turbo.

the two turbos i have are:

Garrett GT3082r, .63 rear ext gate

HKS TO4S, .7# rear or and option to use a larger .8# rear ext gate.

now i know the Garrett is ball bearing with the smaller rear but i have read they suffer compressor surge??? and the HKS is old design and not ball bearing so i can expect it to not be as responsive as the Garrett.

i drift ALOT so i want a turbo that is going to be usefull to me.

What would you choose of the two.

Thanks, Steve.

Agreed.

400hp is what, 240rwkw-250rwkw give/take.

GT3082 - too big, will produce another 50rwkw in a sniff

HKS T04S - too old/laggy, same as 3082, more power

GT3076 - NOW you are talking a turbo fit for a task.

For more details on the 3076 - a simple search is all that's required.

discopotato & plenty of other users have posted more info than you'll understand :(

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
