Hey Guys,

got an rb30 twin cam built and almost ready to drop into my car,

just wanna see if my turbo setup will be efficent enough for 400rwkw

i have a GT35 with T3 1.06 rear housing on a HKS split pulse top mount manifold.

i am using a T3-t4 adaptor plate that is around 1 inch thick.

my questions are;

will the T3 exhaust housing be restrictive?

i have someone that wants to buy my turbo should i sell it and buy the new GTX35 with t4 rear housing?

should i get a splut pulse exhaust housing to match my manifold? will if be better is these are matched?

or should i keep what i got?

Thanks in advance guys..

Dan

i had a t3 gt35r with a 1.06 rear on a etm manifold, made 670bhp @ the fly @2 bar boost. thats on a rb26/30 big cams and 8000rpm. that was its lot, we tuned boost up but no more power just heat..

Garrett didn't make a t4 twin scroll exh housing for the gt35, the only place that sells them (afaik) is ATP and the quality is questionable. That combined with the housing being so large it obscures most of the core so access to oil and water lines is very limited led to me selling mine.

Suggesting a gtx when initial results are less than promising might be leading the guy astray.

OP, the t3 1.06 should make 400rwkw assuming everything comes together but there are a lot of interesting developments in this size range so it might pay to hang tight and watch the results starting to roll in (gt/gtx/efr/precision).

I am looking a Borg Warner s366 turbo, can get one for a good price. only thing is there is not many people using them here in Aus.

in america they seem to be popular..

just worried it could be abit laggy..

specs are:

Twinscroll T4 flange V band out beveled 4.21" Full Marmon flange

.91 turbine a/r

Flows upto 80lbs/min

Supports upto 800hp

included: T4 mounting gasket and oil drain gasket

Turbine housing V band outlet can be machined down to a flat 4" upon request after purchase if desired

Thoughts??

400rwkw on pump with 35r 1.06 is possible but most setups go just shy of there. Definately a good aim point. If you've got some higher octane fuel you'll get there probly over. I honesty think that the 35r is the perfect turbo for the RB30/26. If you want the twin scroll version get this with 1.00AR divided housing:

Forced performance turbos have never let me down for power and response.

I have the ATP twin scroll GT35R with 1.06 rear housing, check our Project Car thread for pictures of the set-up.

Should be on the dyno by the end of next week for its first run. Although its an RB25 it might give you an idea of what the turbo is capable of?

Thanks for replys guys,

car is a Silvia s14, managed to get the bonnet to close over the weekend have to re design sump ( Dry sump set up).

And am going to use E85 too.

But still pretty keen to swap for T4 housing.

What are you guys running on the intake side of things? OEM plenum and TBs? what size intercooler? standard Valve springs still? 

im still running through hoops trying to crack 400kw on 98ron. im currently running a 75mm intercooler and suspect that it might be at its end. Saving the $$$ for a decent 100mm core.  any thouhgts?  

my setup

Everyone i have talked to has said you need at minimum a 100mm thick intercooler with 3" in and out.

OEM RB26 intake is fine as is

Valve springs may be an issue, see if you start to get float during tuning or change them now if you are worried

Hi Titan,

It does seem like that is the case. However what intercoolers do people recommend? There are a few 2nd hand old school TRUST drag intercoolers lying around for cheap but most of the new Plazmaman, Nismo, ect all ask upwards of $2000.

Im not one to be cheap but has anyone had experience with certain types of cores? And does anyone think a 2nd hand TRUST drag exhaust can still do the job?

Hey Jap_Muscle,

im going to be using a plazmaman intercooler, maybe give them a call and they can build one up probly cost you anywhere from $1500 - $1900

not sure how much your going to spend on a used trust cooler? $800 - $1000?

I had a long chat with Plazmaman a few months back about their intercooler designs and quality. They claim that they have the most efficient intercoolers in the world and would benchmark their products with anything. Bold statement never the less.

I do however have a TRUST 100mm drag cooler available for 500. But there is some pipework that needs to be done. How soon are u going to get yours all sorted out and tuned mate? Gt35r rb26/30?

Keep us posted

I doubt you'll get over 400rwkw with a 0.82 rear on pump. I would think that around 350rwkw would be maximum on pump with a 0.82rear.

As for intercoolers - The most thermally efficient cores I've seen are from process west. The plazmaman ones are close but process west are definately the best.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
