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

Well. I'm even tempting saying stuff it n go straight to Trent.

Give them the benefit of the doubt, its not going to cost you anything.

TBH it caught me out 1st time i did a LINK, With the LINK unless you do a store after each tuning stage it will loose all your "current" changes and revert to the "original" map that it was started on (not the original base but the same map the car was key started on). They could have accidently lost the last lot of map changes.

Plus this is no way near their first link.

The question is... How disapointed will you be if you pay Trent to fix the said issues and you find it is hardly any better?

While I dont doubt his knowledge and opinion, I also know you should never expect too much. I have a feeling the amendments will make for an all round better car but would only hope that a good improvement in response is found, rather than expecting one..

As stated AVO should be willing to tacklw this for you free of charge.

Ye but to be fair - he's been told its got nothing to do with the actuator.

Whilst it really only IS going to be the actuator, 2nd opinion also backed that up what a lot of us suspected anyway. We've all seen enough results to have a "reasonable" idea of where things should sit.

There are also further reccommendations in other area's as well.

I mean go back and see, but i cannot see them being too forthcoming on it all and more time spent might not achieve anything.

I also highly doubt they will do it for free, no one works for free, hell even when they have stuffed up a lot of places still charge.

I'm gonna ask to refund my money on the tune. They seem too busy for me.

let us know how you go with fitment on a 6boost manifold. i have the same housing but to suit a gt30 on a hks cast manifold and fitment is mission impossible in every regard. for example the edge of the t4 flange sits so close to the comp housing that i've had to leave one of the comp housing bolts out as it fouls. have fun with the lines....:thumbsup:

ill trial fit the turbo an make some lines up on the weekend and let you know how i go,

with the rear housing only bolted on the manifold it sits atleast 10mm lower then the HKS one i had

yeah its a RB30, 26 head forgot to mention that - thought we were in the RB30 section :P

im will be talking to a few tuners im in sydney so it will be out of JEM/Powertune/unigroup still probly 4-5months off from any dyno time

quick question guys would a 3 1/2 inch dump to 4inch cat back be over kill for my set up? OR should i just stick to 3 1/2 inch the whole way?

for your thing 4inch is the go. yes turbine outlet is small but you want a nice taper out from the outlet to 4inch pipe. even more important if you are planning to plumb in the wastegate outlet.

almost 1000rpm of spool difference, although completely different dyno setups so not really that compareable. Still it really does look like his is set up perfectly.

He is also using external gate and manifold, what are you using?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!
