since when? plenty of people have low mounted gt35s

and to all the stock ecu haters, it was running 7psi ffs, would have been running just as rich as it does with a standard turbo at 12-13psi. wont lean out until you start going past the max flow of the injectors or fuel pump.

OP: install your pfc, z32 afm and evc and get it tuned. see how it goes, then decide if the turbo is suitable and if you need bigger injectors

Hmm i didn't think you could fit a GT35 low mounted. Post up pics so we can see what size turbo it is.

Its got some numbers on it so i took a photo of those if they are any help...its got a 4" intake too, i only got told by a workshop when i took it in that they thought it was a gt35...but im not sure

Fair enough, i thought the size of a GT35 would foul on something low mounted. Havn't ever looked in to low mounting a GT35, all that i have seen have been high mounted.

blitz used kkk housings with turbonetics wheels, that k27 you have is a large frame one and no doubt of a mecedes truck or some random tractor

it is most certainly not a blitz turbo, nor is it a performace turbo.

2 secs and ill look up what it is off

ok just had a look...with out the proper build tags i cant see exactly what it is but it would have come from a Liebherr or deutz earth mover.

its a shame the tags have been removed other wise i could have given you a part number for a smaller turbine housing.

are there any tags or numbers on the turbine housing, it looks like a 13.21 rear housing (big)

Nope i just had another look and the only numbers on the turbo are of the ones i took the photo of... so if your saying this isnt a performance turbo...because arent the k27 a performance turbo? so is it still a k27 or....?

Im kind of wondering if i can sell this and wanting to see how much i should be wanting for it

Why would you? It would run like crap, laggy as hell and the stock ECU wouldn't know what is going on so it would run rich and pull timing. Not to mention you run the risk if something goes wrong and boost spikes to a proper amount for it that it can run efficiently (18+psi) you risk maxing out the injectors, maxing out the fuel pump, hitting airflow cut etc. Not saying it's going to kill something instantly but all in all its just not a good combination.

Obviously you can run it like that if you choose, hell you could run a T51R on the stock setup on 4psi, but is it going to be well setup and safe, no it is not. I ran my plenum and turbo upgrade on the stock ECU and it ran ok, did it run nicely and make power, no it did not and it's a fairly small turbo compared to a GT35, which the OP's number aint, it looks to be much larger atleast housing wise.

Kinda noob question here...

but i was wondering... would a decent tune with a decent ecu and uprated fuel pump, injectors etc make a gt35 less laggy or would it be un-noticeable? or not make a difference because of the size of it in the first place?

  • 9 months later...
Well....

I brought my r33 rb25det with this insanely big turbo already on the car....looks like a gt35 front but the exhaust housing of it is huge and when i would drive the car it would lag and in first gear kick in at about 6k revs, and 2nd like 5500, but when it kicked in it would sit me back in my seat on stock 7psi,

BUT i recently brought a new DSR 430 turbo, and then raised the boost up to 10psi, it spools up at about 3k and i get full boost by about 4-4500revs

But even though i raised the boost and its hitting boost for longer in the rev range....its actually going slower then the old turbo. The old big turbo i had i would be doing about 60 before changing into 2nd and about 100 at the end of 2nd, and it was on stock 7psi but with this dsr turbo i get to about 50kph in 1st and about 90 in 2nd gear... on 10psi

The DSR turbo keeps power through all the way to redline aswell,

So is this becuase the DSR430 turbo i brought a piece of chinese crap? or do i need a really decent tune? or a high quality turbo such as a garretgt30 or somthing?

Thanks guys!

hey bro i bought a dsr430 turbo and i had trouble installing it how did u install urs if u dnt mind me asking

    • 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).
