Hey guys.

I'm currently contemplating buying a .63 rear housing (internally gated and v-band dump) for my 35/40 off Hypergear. Just wondering if anyone has used them in the past and where they happy with what they got.

Is it brand new gear that you get off them or just reconditioned parts and housings? I will probably end up going with them as it seems to be my best option at the moment.

Get a smaller turbo then.

Putting a .63 on a GT35 will cause undue restriction, and it won't improve things "much" better.

Yeah was thinking of buying a smaller turbo, but dont really have the funds at the moment to do so. I thought i may as well do with what i got at the moment.

Why would Garrett sell a GT35 turbo with a .63 rear housing option if it is not a real good option??

Because they already have the housing.

Offering an option is merely adding to product coverage.

The .63 has its place. But not on a RB25 with a 700hp turbo mate.

By the sound of it you'd be better off with a GT3071 which even in a .82 - would come on sooner than a GT35 with a .63 and be MUCH more linear and progressive (read: less epic wheel spin as boost hits)

Hypergear can provide you with what you want, from what i've seen all the housings etc he has are brand new, not reconditioned

but Ash is spot on the money, the turbo you have is better matched to a 3 - 4 Litre engine, not a 2.5L

and i understand you may not have the funds, but trying to make the turbo you have more responsive is not only a waste of time and money, but you'll find it won't really be what you're looking for, you'll basically be restricting it with such a small rear housing and have fairly erratic power output

a garrett gt3071r or gt3076r 0.82 will both be much better suited to an rb25, in regards to power and response as a package... you won't be dissapointed

the new Garrett GTX3071r 0.82 (the 5 bolt rear garrett design, not modified copies) with correct supporting mods will see power figures of 270-300rwkw on 98ron and response of fullbost (17-19psi) by around 3600-3700rpm ... with slight modifications to the standard heatshields it can be installed to look fairly standard too!... as opposed to your externally gated 3540 which wouldn't look so standard

food for thought

Thanks heaps guys for your input. Definitely has given me something to think about. And yes Ruffels i do want the engine bay to look somewhat standard as the cops don't really appreciate if a external gate is right there in their face.

A mate with a 3540 went there, Stao have re-configured the front wheel and engineered that into a set of stock R34 turbo housings. It was heaps more responsive after its done, and looks completely stock from out side. from memory it costed just over $400.

That sounds like an even worse option.

I mean you cannot "reconfigure" a wheel. It's either you change it to another one or you don't.

So it wouldn't be a GT35/700hp comp wheel any more for a start, and if it still is - its TOO BIG for those housings as already stated.

Buy a turbo correctly, once. Be happy forever

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
