Ummm your dyno graphs are way off.

The first one is Hamish's HKS 2835 on a R33 not a HKS GT-RS on a R34.

The second one is ment to be part of the last one; Hypergear.

yeh... mine is not a GTRS :laugh:

not to mention that you cannot compare hypergear's results with others as he always pushes masses of boost and timing

16psi vs 24psi is NOT a worthwhile comparison

Not true. I don't tune my own car. Its the same tuner who tuned all of the cars, he's done he's very best to get power for all of yous, I'm no special to any one else. Max power of 17psi vs 24psi agreed, But do have a look in RPM vs power and torque.

We've put in lots of time, money and effort, doing dyno runs and testing on every single combination and possibilities for the best out come. The results are no accidents, if you read through our thread you will notice the amount of developments involved and out comes through time.

There are plenty of results including customer's results done by different tuners are on display. I'm not commenting on other people's work.

never said you physically tune your cars....

but your tunes on your own car always have a lot more crammed down their throat than most people's...

Trent tunes my car, you should know him good enough. He's can't add special power to it, plus I thrash it trying to blow up my own turbos and he's fully aware of that.

Also every one's making very similar results based on same boost assume their car's working properly thou. and not all high powered results there are from my own car, few people made more power with with less boost then I did.

yes trent tunes your car, but he only does what you ask him to do.

trent doesn't go around cramming 24odd pounds into customer cars with 400+hp turbo's and stock blocks unless he is specifically asked to.

it is irresponsible of you to lead people to think that, remember, he has a business too.

i'm not slandering your business, just letting people know that the comparison cannot be made between a gcg highflow @ 16psi and a hypergear one @ 24

many people only look @ peak power figures

i'm not interested in your profits or losses, just that the correct information is available for people to make educated decisions on products they spend thousands of dollars on

That is exactly right. Which in all my readings that Trent's done there are runs on different boost levels, you normally see one on 17psi and another one on 20psi. Plenty of my customers are making very decent power based on mild boost.

I didn't post this up, and 24psi is unexpected. Nothing thing works 100% in a new prototype. This does not affect down low response, torque and power. 320rwkws was consistent, which I must high light we do lot more to OP6 housings then just machining to suit a larger wheel.

There is an other run with in on 18psi with the same high flow in my thread, have a ready under the KAI profile. I'm not going to post it here.

Profit or lose has never been a concern. Just saying we've invested lots of efforts in making this happen. It has been a lengthy and enjoyable process, we are not stopping here either.

what quarter mile times are people getting with a hks gtrs on a 25 ?

I can't think of a more variable output parameter than 400m times from a single input parameter (turbo). ie. That information would be virtually useless and stupidly variable.

I've got an Apexi AX53B70 on my RB25. I don't think there are many/any turbos that are a closer spec to a GTRS than this. GTRS from all reports is slightly more responsive and makes slightly more power (but less peak midrange torque due to smaller housing). I think this kind of turbo with E85 would be the best street turbo available.

Well on my old tune on the Microtech it used to make 260 odd (no nitrous). Given that every one gains around 30rwkw from switching from 98 to E85 it should make close to 300kw.

97 with 230k and std turbo still :)

was that 230kw or km..

you should e85 it

If it was km retract my comment cause i thought you meant kws..Not that anyone paid attention anyway... :cool:

but its a 400HP turbo, wouldn't it just f**k out

The previous one on the other page 233kw one is with a standard rear housing :)

this one is with the OP6 rear housing.. \

Doesn't quite work that way.

Why do you think cars make more power on ethanol/race fuels? Higher resistance to knock allowing you to put more timing into the engine and the cooling effect of ethanol.

Have a look at all the cars running E85 on these forums, all of them make more power than what a turbo is simply "rated" at. The rating is just a rough calculation from the airflow the turbo can push out.

Perfect example is Hamish's HKS 2835 (rated at a bit more than the GT-RS) as seen in the first dyno graph posted on the first page, 320rwkw on E85. That punches way above its 400PS rating.

Not sure how much difference he makes doing this, but alot of Hypergear's "test" runs are done with the exhaust dropped, so not a true indicitive reading of how it would perform on a street driven vehicle

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
