Ok since my car is bat shit boring and I wanna get back into sliding again after never owning a 6cyl in my

life Id like some opinions on a best suited turbo for the internally stock rb25det. Basically all I aim for

is a cost effective song engine combination that will aid in me sliding like a happy camper once again.

I WILL be using a stock manifold with an external wastegate mod done sponsored by a fellow member 10WRB but

Im still retarded in picking a turbo that would be best suited for wat I want. I have seen a few posts about

a GTX3076 and I do know a 3076 can make 400hp which would be enough for wat I need so Im here for more extra

input befor I lash out and by something to big or to small and Ill end up in tears.

End of the day I wanna be able to bake tyres, have the reliability without goin over the top and to keep it

looking semi stock.

Cheers

Isnt the GT-RS a fairly expensive turbo?

Iv seen a few skyline vary in power from 300 - 400 with these

Id like to keep boost around the 16-18 psi mark if this helps anymore

How much are you wanting to spend? If you're baller, then a Garrett GTX3071R or a Borg Warner EFR7064 would be the way to go - if you're middle of the road then a Garrett GT3076R with internal gate, otherwise something like a Kando Dynamics T67 would probably be pretty nifty for a budget option if they carry on behaving as nicely as people are finding them so far.

Dont wanna fork out anymore then 1800-2000 for a turbo. Just rang MTQ and they are saying that the GTX series will be goin for around the 2k mark

so Ill hang out till they have stock and go from there.

Thats why I gave you a range of options, seeing as you didnt specify a price in the first place. Obviously a GT3076R with internal gate is probably the most suitable option for you.

Nah 2k for just the turbo I was talking about haha.

Manifold, gate, dump is all under control already.

Anything with a GT30 core will bolt straight up to wat I can

get my hands on.

I do like that t67 25g kando turbo aswell but I dont like f**kin around with flanges

n shit cause im far to lazy for that.

I will most likely hang out for either the GTX 3071 or the GTX 3076 and go with either or.

Just had a gander at the Kando Dynamics T67 25g...

Wow lol

Definitely WOW! Just remember that has an aftermarket manifold, external wastegate and runs E85 fuel.

I think the HKS GT2835 Pro S is the best overall turbo out there for a stock RB25 today, 280-290rwkw on 98 with full boost by 3500rpm. Things might change once these GTX turbos come out. Only time will tell.

f**kin wow alright haha.

Yeah see I just wanna be able to bolt it on, ram 18pound through the guts, put fuel in it and away I go.

Obviously Iv missed tuning n shit but you get the point. So ill play the waitin game till these GTX turbos

land here and then do a bit of shopping around, might make up for a late xmas present. If the GTX 3071 can flow

10% more then a GT3076 Id like to see the performance of a GTX3076 .82 on the rb25.

The Kando T67 comes with a T3 flange so you wouldn't have to change anything :)

Except for your exhaust manifold, external wastegate and dump pipe! Or you have to get some custom piping done to run an external wastegate.

I'd absolutely love to experience a GT2835 and a GT3076R back to back, I went with the GT3076R with the view I might end up going to a built motor and IMHO the GT2835 suits a completely unopened RB25 nicely - but not much more.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
