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?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.
