enough talk, overlay the dyno plots.... lets see which has more under the curve...

and not using some demo car thats been tweaked to get a curve.

Problem with that is it’s not always telling the true story.

Take Garrett -9 & -5

-5 being the larger, more power… However…

Loaded in 4th, they come on almost around the same RPM, about 200-300rpm different. However on the street, on/off throttle you can clearly tell there is a massive difference between the two and it is much more than 200-300rpm.

Trent is a very experienced and reputable tuner here, he's not going to modify his dyno for me getting happy results and this is not what I'm after either. There is no tweaked demo car, what mods has been put into it is clearly listed in my thread. Have a read through it, pretty much every one's getting similar or better end results and there are also few whom are working through their builds.

The SS1PU billet comp wheel FNT layout is also in my thread, its a good idea to read.

Im not saying the dyno is being happy for you or anything like that, but your setup has obviously been gone over so many times and rejigged to get consistency its better to see results from people who have chosen a turbo, installed it and got it tuned so thats its totally not biased and a real world example, like were not grabbing results from the HKS demo car are we imagine the argument we would have if we did...

no here is saying anything bad about HG turbos themselves... just laying out the differences between the choice in turbo selection and whats involved to get the setups right.

I have never rejiged the car for better result, I always rejiged the turbo for better result.

I specifically did not build a "demo" car for showing, I'm aware no one will get that sort of result with a every day car. My car's mods are basic and clearly listed, its just a healthy motor with stock head, cams, cam gears and manifolds, typical what most people has. Just Every thing working the way they should.

How ever diagnose what causes power lose is some thing that I'm in the process of sorting out, as every one runs different parts and have a mind of their own. Pretty much all customers whom have sorted their issues or followed my modification guide do end up getting similar end results.

Im not having a go at you or your product and I didnt mean it to sound that way at all...

but I did say 'rejigged to get consistency' not better results

whether you like it or not your car that you post up results from using your turbos is your demo car...

and we've all read how you've set it up to be a normal reliable skyline that any run of the mill owner may have, and I thinks thats great.

but I still prefer the HKS turbo, no if or buts, I like what it does and I dont mind paying for what it offers, and no one can put forward and figures or controversy to say Im wrong in my opinion....

Yeh because you're not.

The HKS 2835ProS is a great turbo, no doubt about it. It's horses for courses, as much as I would love a 2835, I simply can't afford one nor can I find one. So I went with the Hypergear. Simple as that.

I almost went for a hypergear as well...

so why is it that whenever a 'what turbo should I get for my rb25' comes up all the HG fans and mr HG himself come in and diss every other suggestion..???

I think the 2835 pro s looks great,

However price and hard to find.... Also have to change exhast, not that it's a big deal.

Am I wrong in thinking the atr43ss -2 is quite similar as the hks 2835 pro s?

But at the end of the day with either turbo I'm sure it will still go fair well :)

^^^^^^^^^^ this has been my point for months 75 (post 89), glad I'm not the only one who thinks it.

I do kind of feel sorry for Stao in a way, he has in no doubt done great things for the rb25 community, and he often feels as though he needs todefend his product. There is nothing "wrong" with his turbos, I just believe In Some instances you get what you pay for.

I have admitted before that we have paid an inflated price for the hks tag but in the scheme of things it's really not tha much compared to say a Garrett equivalent when you take into account all the extra bits and peices you need to get the car running with a new turbo setup.

If I was to go back and do the whole highflow thing again (which I wouldn't) I would still by a HG, but when you get to a point of chasing bigger numbers I think the hks does come out on top, it's the HG fanboys that seem to get the sh1ts with these types of comments but as ash said above there is sooooooo much more than a dyno graph.

Those of us that are fortunate enough to have been able to get our hands on the 2835 know all too well just how good the car drive with this turbo, VERY fast but still transient and not snappy, and great off boost. IMO and it is just my opinion I believe that is what makes for the perfect turbo, not just having 300 killerwasps and getting thrown back in your seat, you still want a degree of controllability.

any turbo you choose will be better than what you have, it all depends what you want and how particular you are with your choice.

and I actually scored a brand new 2835 ProS turbo for $1600 delivered....

I found the HKS intake pipe, for practically nothing (cant remember) and had a dump custom made for $250...

done... search, be patient and you will find...

I personally think its wrong to compare the hks and the HG turbos as they arent even remotely in the same price league!:whistling:

No doubt Mr HG offers great bang for ya buck its great to compare dynographs but is it like comparing an R35 to a Lamborgini????:blink: quote name='Irwin123' timestamp='1323337455' post='6144921']

I think the 2835 pro s looks great,

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
