Greetings,

A few performance shops mention that the 3540 is one of the popular turbos alongside the GT25. I've done a search of the threads and there doesn't seem to be many people with this turbo in their rides.

At SDU, there's one guy who's had good results with it.

Just would like to see people's experience with this turbo.

Cheers

Yeah, GT35's are too big really for an RB25DET.

My GT30 is right on the limit for the RB25 IMO

But on an RB30et, DET... they perform extremely well.

Lots of VL's using them, have ~15+psi before 3500rpm and make 300-330rwkw fairly easily at reasonably low boost levels. And are running good times with them to boot

R31NIsmoid,

a GT35 is too big for a RB25? i don't think so.

i have a 600hp GT30 (A/R .63 exhaust) on my 2L cossie and it's great to drive with heaps of mid range punch, and not too mention great top end.

i guess it depends on what u want from the car.

if u want to push 300rwkw + comfortably and don't mind a little lagginess down low, then the GT35 is the go, otherwise if u want a very punchy street car with about 250-280rwkw, then the 600hp GT30 with an A/R .82 is the go for you.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
