Anyone got any idea what a GT35R with a 0.68A/R would go like on a RB25?? im just worried with that rear housing it will come on boost REALLY hard at about 3000RPM and not make it all the way through the rev range.

Any experience in relation to this would be greatly appreciated!

why buy a turbo with a 400+rwkw compressor and bolt a 300rwkw rear housing onto it? wrong way to go about it, smaller turbo with a bigger (relative) housing will give you a much better overall result.

a gt35 will not make enough boost by 3000rpm with any housing on it.

have a think about how much power your after with what sort of response and have a look around here, theres weeks of reading on here about turbo selection for rb25s

full boost at 4800 with a .68 arse doesnt sound right to me, sounds more like it may of had the 1.06 rear, ive been in a 33 gtst with a stock internaled rb25 with a .83 reared gt35r strapped on and it hit full boost at 4000 or even less if I remember right

Are you asking is there a better turbo to use or do you already have a GT35 with 0.63 rear and want to know if it will work well?

Better turbo would be a GT3076 with 0.82 housing. Yes the GT35 with 0.63 will still do good things.

Hey, I got a Rb30/25 with a GT3576 and even on the 30 it still takes till 4500rpm to hit 18psi. sooo a 3582 on a Rb25 is deffinitly going to be slower.

are you sure its not till 4500? my RB25/30 with 3582R (0.82 rear) is on 20psi a little after 3500rpm.

I don't know if you have seen the Video of Steve myburghs 180SX Sportsedan? It runs the small .68 housing on an RB25, The car runs down V8 Supercars with a novice driver and makes over 20psi by 3800rpm but it does struggle for traction when it hits and it has massive slicks.

That Video doesn't do that car justice, the noise of this thing bearing down the straight coming off Ford corner is insane. The screamer and induction noise is almost painful when standing near the track... stupidly quick car...

IMO if you were going to buy something new you should look into what HKS call the "GT3240R" - if you want something between a GT3076R and a GT3582R .

Its still in production and if like the GT3037S's you can buy the through Garrett without the HKS turbine housing your in .

Get a T3 flanged GT30 IW T housing and and get it re-profiled to suit the "GT32" turbine .

For those who don't know the "GT3240R" is similar to the GT3540R AKA GT3582R . HKS gets Garrett to crop the turbine back to GT32 84T dimensions and the compressor comes back a trim size from 56T to 54T . Compresor housing is the same but profiled inside to suit the fractionally smaller 54T wheels inducer/profile .

Personally I think anyone's mad not to run the Garrett port shrouded compressor housing on GT3582Rs if you use smaller A/R turbine housings .

The real answer in the power and response stakes is twin scroll turbo systems but until Garrett make twin scroll twin integral gate turbine housings you're stuck with the compromise .

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
