To add to that, I'm warming to the GTX3584RS - it looks like the 1.22 housing is enough, and as I suggested the other day it looked like the 1.01 may not be too bad for what you're looking for either.  Looking forward to seeing results!

Yep agree with you on all counts mate ?? Your calculations match what I come with each time I've run the numbers on the GTX3584RS and the others you listed. 
Garrett actually quote between 9.5 & 10.5 hp per lbs/min. But I have wondered if that's a conservative estimate with the newer generation options. 

It will be interesting to see how the 1.21 housing goes power vs response on a 3-4L six. Won't have to wait long as there's a couple of local 2JZ builds coming online reasonable soon.

Comp housing is about to head off for polishing (GARRETT logo will remain [but polished] as a feature) and the ex housing for ceramic coating. 

I'm a little bit excited with my new toy ?

All three, at least in comparison to the Gen 1 GTX3582.
Blade pitch and profile has changed, especially the leading and trailing edge, and 9 blade vs 10 of the Gen 1 (correct me if I'm wrong) The blades are noticeably thinner at the blade root.
I'm far from an expert (my background is more jet engine based) but it appears the Garrett /Honeywell R&D focused on reducing mass to improve or maintain spool whilst altering the blade profile to achieve the claimed additional flow.

Ha-ha. It was the best I could come up with at the time. The plug was sitting on the desk... I thought 'yeah most people have a rough idea of the size of a NGK plug box'.  

A mate that is pretty handy at building modified turbocharged engines had a look at the turbine and noted they've reduced the material in the webbing between the blades and moved the bulk of the blade towards the centre in an effort to reduce rotational mass.

ETS hold the R35 drag ET world record (7.09 @ 209). Hopefully the GTX3584RS car runs some numbers at the drag strip to back up the dyno figure

That should read 7.01 @ 209

I'm so far relatively impressed with the Gen2 GTX3582R, met a lad with one on his fresh RB26 build at a track day I was at on Monday - running a 1.01a/r twin scroll T3 hotside on BP98.  I don't have much info on it, but I did see a dyno plot at the track and it was near 200kw by 4000rpm and made 460kw @ rear hubs (I'd call that around 410rwkw if you can't understand hub dynos) on 21psi.  It had a beautiful power curve for that level, with peak coming in at just after 7000rpm but holding >450kw all the way up to the 8000rpm they ran it to.

It seems like Garrett may have managed to go to a 66mm inducer without sacrificing too much in the way of response, and clearly have managed to do very good things for flow.  The car had quite a happy wee anti-surge whistle too, a bit less low-key than the Gen1 GTX - I have a soft spot for that noise so a good thing in my books haha.

Nice been eager on results.

200rwkw by 4,000rpm is unheard of in a 35xx turbo. normally ud see that in a gtx3071/3076

 

Pat aka Rekin should also have results from a Gen 2 GTX3071 internal gate on a Rb25neo in the coming months

Copy+Paste from my Build thread: 

 

I am proud to share my latest purchase from GCG Turbochargers - A Garrett GTX3071r Gen2 T3 internal wastegate 0.82 low-mount RB setup.
With the GenII only released 3 months ago this is the first low-mount RB setup to pass through GCG Turbochargers & onto me :D

Big shout-out to GCG Turbochargers for responding to my endless FB messages after hours & helping me choose the right setup for my application.
Not only that, but the turn-around from Order to Dispatch was a matter of weeks when other distributors were quoting 3 month lead-times.
In addition,with GCG Turbochargers expertise in building turbos, they added a few extra tweaks to the build to aid boost control & overall flow.

GCG Turbochargers supplied in a RB25 low-mount kit; with all gaskets, bolts, studs, manifold spacer, braided lines, actuator, extra cheese - hold the mayo.
And to top it off, they been kind enough to send through some build photos :D

+1, will be very interested to see how it performs in practice.  This is potentially a REALLY good choice for an RB25, especially if you have some other nice supporting tweaks to the car :)   What supporting mods, and fuel will it have?

Forged rebuilt Neo engine with an e85 setup - is the plan!

So, does anyone have any results from a single GT3584RS on an RB26 yet?

 

 

I wouldn't hold my breath, @whatsisname is one of only about 3/4 people I've seen any indication of using one for ANY car in the world right now and he has been really quiet so it's hard to know how long his build will be, this kind of thing often can take ages from the point the turbo arrives but will let him comment when he shows up :)   

It's very early days from the turbo release and Borg Warner and Precision turbos are ultimately more known and desired in a lot of ways - and the Garrett is actually the more expensive option to a degree so they may not become very popular unless the results come out well.  I have to say, I'm pretty impressed by the Gen2 GTX3582R which has a 66/82 compressor instead of 67/84.... as it turns out @whatsisname's decision to take an early punt could pay off as on paper it looks like his setup could be one of the perfect matches to what it wants, so potentially could make for a very good result.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
