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,

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.

      Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.

      "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
