Dunno WTF all the fuss is about either, seems like people want to work on their turbos on a regular basis or are not confident with things going right.

Last thing I'd want to do is fu(k around with turbos once installed. JUST LEAVE THEM, THEY'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!

I'd say the reason you want a big single is for the sake of a high mount turbo in your engine bay.

Just do it, take it to URAS, he's a genious with rb26's, just ask him....

Not being a mechanic, not having access to the right tools and having a 26 in a S series that I work on myself. I know exactly were he is coming from.

Single just makes life so much easier.

Also I still believe the responce from a single is better then twins. Brockas twin gt2835 vs gt35 was a great example of this.

But thats a debate that will never end :P

GT3076 with 82 rear on a 6 boober would be my pick.

While ill agree on the ease of mantinance part. I Definatley do not agree on the Twin 2835 Vs GT35R bit...the HKS 2835 twin kit was a bigger sack of shite than the 2540s

2530s VS 35R would be a better comparison.

like most others have said once the turbos are in (properly) there's not much needed to be done on that side of the motor..its not like the turbos have to come out to change the spark plugs or anything stupid like that.

Of course it won't end, because the two turbos are not comparable :P

Nor does it apply to this thread!

lol i agree with you especially with leaving things well alone but to think there is only one way is small minded.... i get to see alot of 26's (feel free to drop in 2moro there are 4 in there atm 2 x with -7's 1 x -5's and 1 x 34 stockers so you can see im not bullshitting.) Its true the twins work very well (i prefer them personally in most cases) but if he wants more reponse then who are we to say he cant have it when it is physically possible? ive seen enough combos to be able to give an unbiased view.

Ive said mutliple times in this thread we should see his graph before going gung ho and now weve seen the graph we know its not right, my recomendation as it was on page one is sort it the problem out then if your still unhappy look at changing.... chances are once it fixed there be no reason to change.

agreed thats way too late, they sound more like r32 N1. get someone to look over it, get it right then make your decision.

these unfortunatley are not a good comparo as the 2835's are huge compared to the SS's, more comparable to a t78, t88 than the gt35r.

Best comparo i've seen. Invite other comparisions of same engine twin to single or visa versa.

Same engine simlar boost and power. Just one spooled harder.

Too often its different engine setups that mean more of a difference and are used in comparison.

IE One person getting boost by 3500 with gt-ss and another 4300 :P

Trent, give it up mate, your posts are as valuable as what I just passed through the toilet half an hour ago. Go back to the top and have a good read.

When you answer my question posted early in this thread then we can continue this conversation with merit.

Just in case you have been working hard in this 40 degree heat today, I'll help you out.

You said there are single setups that would be more responsive than twin GTSS's.

I disagreed, and asked you to specify which single(s) you were referring to.

You ignored my question (which incidently could not give a fark anyway), and then mentioned that the singles in mind can 'MATCH' the GTSS's.

So from 'being more responsive' you have moved to 'MATCH OR BETTER'.

So, which one is it? Have you made up your mind??

I'm not the one who is small minded, infact I'd like to see results disproving my opinion and broaden my knowledge.

Oh, no offence but I wouldn't waste my time coming to your workshop to see 4 GTR's when I can go to my mechanic and see 14 of them.

I see where your coming from, same car, same engine etc...

However the two turbo setups you have mentioned are not comparable.

Anyone know the HP ratings of each setup (twin 2835's vs GT35R)?

gt35 ~700 and twin gt2835's ~ 800-850.

So yer I see where your coming from too.

Both setups simular rwhp but. Also seems the gt35 can be stretched furhter then 700hp.

Definetly the right turbo for the right engine setup comes into play as well.

All keen to see more comparo's though :D

This comment made my night

Jack, here you go, some old turbo sheets attached. 35R is hard to rate HP wise with so many options available for it, for example ive got one with a 66mm front fan (for supra).

I agree with your points 100%, but since talking to the racepace guys and seeing their results I dont really pay much attention to ratings anymore :D

My friends place i was at before talking to you the other night had 7 of them...and that was his house!!

One out the front, two in the carport and four in the shed.

Works out about right in the pecking order too...as id say confidently he knows more than Trent but is not as knowledgeable as Ben.

CRD one day had 17 of them at the workshop...GTR god?

Simple fact is twin GTss on an RB26 with Mild Cams dialed right is as good as it gets for boost response in a 450rwhp package.

Yeah of all the GTRs I've been in set up to make in the low 300wkw range, the one running GT-SS was definitely the most responsive - I was very impressed. As for higher power levels, GT3582Rs are quite noticeably better than GT2530s etc imho

Nice pissing contest boys....Not hard to tell who has beef with others.

I don't own an RB26, I don't ever plan to. But from what I have seen around here as mentioned something is wrong with your setup, the thing comes on as late as my setup (RB20). For the capacity and the size / trim of the GT-SS's I would be concerned, get it looked at :D

I will leave you to your ego's....I mean your tuners ego's that you live through vicariously. :)

size of your turbo?...if its around the same size as a GT-SS of course it will be.

your set-up 2.0 litres capacity x 1 turbo but due to the inferior head design/flow of the RB20 this evens it up a bit.

his set-up 2.6 litres capacity 2 x turbo's his is the equivalent of a 1.3 litre engine vs your 2 litres...even if you turbo is the same as a 2530 you would still have more airflow through the turbine at any given rpm.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
