The GTX3584RS will support roughly 850-880HP on a 3.0L (maximum rpm of ~7500-8000) at a PR of about 3.1-3.3 No chance of getting 1000HP out of it, not unless it can be done at a PR of 2.75 and even th

i think the gtx would really benefit from more boost in that example, they're compressor map does suggest the biggest difference is at high boost levels

Problem is the turbine and exhaust housing are likely to be choking the compressors true potential - basically its a GT35 flowing compressor being turned (and choked) by a GT30 turbine.

E85 and/or larger ex housing would be the answer IMO.

Now I wonder what the GTX35 would be like in my turbo falcon with 1.06 ex hsg.:mellow:

which comes back to the possibility of a gtx3576 being a good thing if you can afford to make one.

How?? The turbo builds boost slower than one with the 82mm GT series compressor.

gtx3076r with the skyline .73 AR exhaust housing (avoturbo.com) might be very interesting.....

currently using this housing with gt3076r bb core, lag in awd auto stagea until just over 2000rpm then it takes off! easy 250awkw with 450cc S15 injectors

better than stock automatic torque converter would change this again tho....

throw in 550cc injectors and the gtx3076r turbo and there's an easy 300awkw on pump gas with remap

Getting that setup installed at Avo on my 33gtst in next couple weeks :)

Okay... I'm chasing around 300kw... no more since it's a standard rb25... a 3076 would EASILY get that but it would be capable of more and will have more lag than a 3071... so I'm going with the 3071.

But I'm torn between housing types... .62 or .82...

Also to add: I'm running vapor gas injection so I get around 20kw more than petrol.

With .82 I'll have more power but more lag, however would that power be too much more for my engine to progressively handle? Would it exceed 300?

With .62 can I expect 280-300kw? If that's the case then It would be fast spool and thus best choice for a standard rb25?

Since it's going to be larger than the gt version, wouldn't a .62 mean more heat and thus mean less boost to avoid issues?

If someone wants to buy the front/cartridge of my GT35 ill get a GTX35 to test :)

Where do you want the efficiency to lie? I prefer midrange so a smaller housing suits me, those chasing top end will go for the .82 or 1ar housings.

As you have a cold gas cooling the charge you may not notice a bit of extra heat...

If you want to lean on it more the smaller rear housing should make up to 300kw on decent boost.

Personally I think you should always go the smallest housing/turbo that will make your power goals and be close to maxing it out, you'll get slightly more intake heat but response is key for a street car.

Do not go with the .63, I have the 3071 with .82 and trust me, there IS no lag. If you go with the smaller housing it will simply come on boost too early and wheel spin. Most of the guys with 3076 & .82 are very happy with the way they perform as far as response is concerned. So why go with an exhaust housing that will choke the power and cause turbine and therefore exhaust heat. The result from this is detonation so you will have to remove timing which will reduce power anyway. The 3071 is the best compromise for no lag/good power. Personally, go with the 3076/.82 and know there is some headroom for more power but if boost is kept low so will inlet temperatures.

I think cams will be needed to hit 300rwks with a 3071/.82 regardless of the latest technology.

Hm so far from people I know and I net hunting it appears .82 is the go. 3076 I would rather avoid since a gt makes 280kw on rb25, you'd assume the gtx would be near 300, meaning 320 kw for me since I'm on gas. the gt 3071 can't take more than 260 so assume the gtx version might push 280 which means 300 for my gas. so 3071 is the choice but housing is still the issue. .82 looks like the option that has the least hesitation and in reality it's a few nanoseconds of time I best not need to worry about.

I think I've made my choice, 3071 with .82

thanks guys! love these forums! like consulting with one massive car nerd :)

So wouldn't something like a gtx3076.73 be ideal?

Thoughts anyone?

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
